SunNet DM & SyMon's traptext
Hash: SHA1
December 26, 1997
Hello world,
We had been experimenting with the Solstice SyMon and the Domain
Manager v2.3 rel.B to create a network operations center. We wanted
to be able to remotely diagnose/monitor the remote and critical Sun
servers using the SyMon s/w under the umbrella of the Domain Manager.
Here was my problem post:

Many thanks to the folks who tried to help,
Steve Sun <ssun@BayNetworks.COM>
Robert Angelino <angeliro@pde.paramount.com>
But special mention goes to Ken Pepple <kpepple@earthlink.net>
who pointed out:

I think that explained a lot for me. Anybody else have any ideas
how to create an NOC for critical Sun servers only? Using SNMP?
Thanks again and Happy Holidays to all!!!
