No worries cause your answer wasn't totally wrong :)
From my POV PRTG is nearly a 100% solution and you do not need much more to=
ols to get an good view of your running inventory. Beside PRTG we're only r=
unning some tools for flow analysis, NetApp storage analysis, etc. In sum w=
e're running <5 tools to monitor EVERYTHING (hardware, software, datacentre=
infra, etc).
