At my job, we're using two primary tools for network monitoring -
Hobbit and OpenNMS.  Hobbit is primarily for system monitoring, and
OpenNMS for network monitoring.
You mean for SNMP polling?

<plug>Have you tried devmon</plug>
I would, if it supported snmp V3...
It's on the to-do list. If you can test,

Certainly.  I have many hundreds of snmp v3 enabled hosts.

I will try and implement soon. AFAIK, SNMP_Session supports snmpv3, so it should mostly be a configuration issue.

No, I had to re-write mrtg to support Net_SNMP_Session, which has mostly
the same API as SNMP_Session, with just a few tweaks.  Net_SNMP_Session
calls Net::SNMP, which has binaries from the NetSNMP project, so it's
not as portable.

(You could also file a bug on the sourceforge tracker, so I don't forget).
ok

(First 2 weeks are looking most promising for some real devmon development).

One more item I would like to add to the list of differences between Hobbit and Nagios, which is somewhat critical at one of my sites, is proxy options - Nagios has nrpe and/or nsca. Something along the lines of having choices of different (push/pull) type proxy setups would be a big benefit for Hobbit, at least from my perspective.
