Here's my dilemma:

I need a tool to monitor our network (switches and routers, and some servers). What \
I'm most interested in is downtime for the various devices. This downtime/history \
needs to have a couple of features: 

A) I want to be able to look back and do searches like what devices were down during \
time period x, and why (i.e. have some sort of comments). - this leads me to look for \
something which stores events  in some kind of database, hence my previous posts \
asking if mon has a database back end.

B) I want to be able to have some kind of graphical  graphical display/summary of the \
downtime, so I can print it out or post it on a web-page.

Now, I've looked into mon and there seems to be workarounds to it that will sort of \
fill the above requirements. But I also came across Nagios and am wondering if anyone \
on this list has worked with that and can comment on how the two compare (in general, \
and with respect to my requirements).

Thanks in advance!
Joubin
