Product: LegacyWatchPlatforms: SunNet Manager(TM), NetView/6, HP OpenViewAvailiability: ImmediatelyDescription: Client/Server management agent allowing legacy/non-SNMPequipment to bemanaged by open management platforms.Overview: As Open Management Platforms such as SunNet Manager(TM),NetView 6 and HP OpenView Node Manager become the standards formanaging open networks based on SNMP, it is necessary to integrate themanagement of older non-SNMP and non-networked devices through thesecentralized platforms. LegacyWatch is a client/server management systemwhich provides a gateway from the old to the new, integrating any deviceor application which is manageable from a character terminal to have itsstatus and events integrated into the popular management systems.LegacyWatch makes a character stream connection to the target object andscans the messages that the object generates. LegacyWatch can alsoperiodically conduct a dialogue with the device to elicit messages. If amessage matches an event condition, it is passed up to the managementplatform together with key information from the message. The manager mapsthe event onto the glyph which represents the object and displays it as achange of state (or whatever condition the manger has set). The eventinformation can then be automatically passed to a management workflow ortrouble ticketing application.LegacyWatch features--1) Network Management: manage legacy networks of serial multiplexors,switches, PBXs etc.2) Device management: manage devices which were previously unmanageableby open protocols or have no future open management direction.3) Console Management: monitor messages from computer consoles of anyoperating system such as AS/400, VAX VMS and Mainframe systems. Generatefault alarms for any conditions. Connects via telenet, sethost, tn3270,RS232, 5250 etc..4) User configurable environment using a MOTIF GUI, including dialoguesto elicit information and pattern matching to detect events withcustomizable 'Event/TRAP' messages allowing 'english' fault messagesrather than cryptic error codes.5) Managed Objects can be hosts, devices, process information orapplications.
