Todd Matherne explains what a great benefit the new SNMP responder module for the T/MonXM has been

Dear Eric Storm,

I would personally like to let you know how beneficial the installation of the SNMP responder [into T/MonXM] was to the mission of our department. We are currently in the process of migrating all our alarms to a central platform HP Openview. We have established network communication to all of our newly deployed services but were looking for a way to integrate our local ILEC region into Openview without a major network change. The SNMP responder was the answer. After working with HP Openview for sometime now, I was able to compile the MIB and, with a little bit of customization work, immediately begin receiving traps.

This migration will allow us not only to monitor all alarms in one spot, but also build extensive collection reports of our whole network. I would also like to thank both John and Ron in tech support. I had the pleasure of working with John during our upgrade to the IAM's. Ron has been quite informative in keeping our platforms stable. Both John and Ron are my two primary sources of information when I need assistance.

Thank you,
