Good question=2C we do not use manageengine for NMS and I have no desire to=
use them either.
I tried their NMS platform last year and it was "ok"=2C the interface just =
seemed a little clunky....
Setting up ManageEngine syslog was a breeze and now we get alerts based on =
what kind of messages
we want=2C it's pretty hands off=2C I'm sure you could fine tune it further=
...
But I hear that solarwinds NPM has syslog built into it=2C so I'm thinking =
of going with one product that covers
it all....

ManageEngine experiences. I don't have any interest in using ManageEngine =
as an NMS=3B I have a couple of tools that I use for that already. Can you=
use ManageEngine's syslog without having to set it up to monitor all of yo=
ur devices first? Have you looked at the TRAP support in ManageEngine?
