[rtg] Developing a carrier-class replacement for rtgtargmaker.pl

[Steve Scaffidi]

Hi there.

I've been playing with RTG for the past two months with the idea that I may
be able to use it to replace Trend SNMP. The poller itself is quite
impressive and works exactly as I'd like it to.

However, I ended up having several serious issues with rtgtargmaker.pl,
making that script unusable for configuring RTG for my network. It functions
exactly as it's supposed to, but I have some very ornery SNMP devices.

On the other hand, the beauty of open source is that one can simply fix or
replace what doesn't work for what does.


I work for a company with a large network with several dozen different types
of devices. I've begun writing a configuration engine for RTG, in Perl, that
should address my (and my company's) needs, and perhaps it could be useful
for others using RTG.

I have already applied for hosting of the project on Sourceforge.net and I
hope to be approved within a week. Currently, I consider my code in
pre-alpha state - 75% of the basic functionality is written. I plan on
having a functional *alpha* demo within a week.

If anyone on the list is interested, I would be delighted to have the input
of some other developers.
