NINO

If you're looking for a product that is rich in features and glitz, look no further. NINO (which stands for Nino Is Not OpenView) contains the usual features you've come to expect from NMS software: polling, event console, auto-discovery, support for MySQL databases, reports, and more. However, we'll discuss some standout features that set NINO apart.

You'll find a demo at the NINO web site, http://nino.sourceforge.net/nino/index.html. Though it is not all live, it gives a nice overview of all the features and allows you to work with a few active items. Most of the screenshots were captured on a test network.

NINO offers an interactive Java graph that allows you to click and drag the time interval, not only to the left and right, but also up and down to change the scale.
