Here are a couple of things that I haven't been able to do in SNM. If there
is a way to do this could someone let me know, if not I hope someong from
Sun reads this group and takes them into consideration.

o The event form has two threshold values that you can set to generate the
  event, according to the manual if either of those thresholds is met the
  event is generated. What I would like is to get the event only if both are
  met.

o In the props you can tell SNM what to do when you receive a trap, this works
  but there does not seem to be any way to differentiate between different
  traps from differnet devices. Suppose you have a machine that keeps rebooting
  and you want to be specifically alerted when it does, you either get the
  same alert from any device that causes a trap or you have to go and
  disable traps on everything else.

o Better labeling of graphs or the facility to change the label of a graph
  under the props form.

o Access to resources so that you can control the size and colour of graphs
  from your .Xdefaults file.
