Check out HP Openview. It does quite a lot. Might be something you are looking for. http://www.openview.hp.com/

Visio has a version that can do this. Other utilities like Tivoli or HP Openview are great products also.

If you have Compaq servers, they come with compaq network management software on the management CD. I haven't worked with it that much so I don't know the level of detail.

Use Visio. If you create with Visio 5 then users with visio 4 will not be able to view. You know it is one of those Monopoly things I think. So you have to use Visio 4 so everyone with Visio 4 and above can view. But if you use Visio 5 then others with visio 4 wont be able to view. I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY.

Hello Scott,

There are a number of packages, both commercial and GNU/freeware that may suit your needs. On the commercial side, HP OpenView NNM v6.1 is freely available for download at the web site http://www.openview.hp.com and will work for 60 days. There is also the Visio product. On the GNU/freeware site, check out some of the packages at www.snmpworld.com.
