Notifying when server inaccessible

[morrisos]

Hello, What is the best way to use CIM to poll and notify if a server becomes inaccessible? I just want to be aware if something goes "down" in terms of network connectivity. Or is What's Up Gold a better tool for this?

THanks for any help.

We use Insight Manager (The new HP version) and it is a wonderful tool (AND FREE) if you run mostly proliant hardware. I know you can import other MIBs but I have not played with it (no need). We both poll and send traps from the monitored node.
