RE: Network inventory and configuration tracking tools

I too post to this email list anonymously for reasons which were just 
stated.


You might want to try something from Linmor Technologies...

www.linmor.com.

This plugs directly into remedy, so you can do change & trouble ticketting 
quite easily.

With this vendors software, you can also make changes to your network, then 
read the network & the updated configuration you just put in with this 
software, & the changes are then plugged directly into your configuration 
database.  This allows your network to be synched with the configuration 
database, as the configuration databse would now shows the active 
configuration in the network.

Very easy to use & available for small & carrier class networks.

& quite a few other features available.

Regards.

I've used FootPrints in the past with very good success. It not only served 
our change management processes but also help desk trouble ticketing. Its 
very customizable and quite affordable.
