After looking for 'the ideal' tool for many years, it still amazes me that no one has built it. Bulk gets, scalable schema and good portal/UI. RTG is better than MRTG, but the config/db/portal are still lacking.
if funding were available, i know some developers we could hire to build the ultimate scalable pluggable network F/L/OSS management/monitoring system. if funding's not available then we're depending on some combination of hobbiests (who've usually got rent to pay, limiting their availability for this work) and in-house toolmakers at network owners (who've usually got other work to do, or who would be under pressure to monetize/license/patent the results if That Much Money was spent in ways that could otherwise directly benefit their competitors.) "been there, done that, got the t-shirt." is there funding available yet? like, $5M over three years? spread out over 50 network owners that's ~$3K a month. i don't see that happening in a consolidation cycle like this one, but hope springs eternal.
