I received several replies, mostly recommending Serverworks over
Insight.
In my attempts to get Insight working with v4.0e I found that
between Insight v4.20 and v4.22 Compaq changed it's behavior and
it no longer works with the snmpd and *_mibs that ship prior to
v4.0f.
I've asked Compaq Services to let me know whether the cpq_mibs
and related daemons that are new in v4.0f will be released for
earlier versions as part of a patch kit. I'll post when I find
out.
It seems counter-intuitive to me that Compaq would change an snmp
based product so that it doesn't work with RFC-compliant snmp deamons.
I can see the desire (need?) to extend the capability of the
product with additional agents, but it should still work with
the defined standard.
