Monitoring network device and its interfaces

Gurus, I have read the SNMP series for OpsMgr 2007 here on the site and seen some of the sample SNMP packs on MP catalog, but it all seems somewhat painful to me.  Is there a way to monitor a network device without spending money on third party add ins AND without getting into the depths of XML?

Hi Mattie,

I wrote an article on how to perform basic SNMP monitoring using OpsMgr just using the console, no third party products or XML required.  Check it out on this link and let us know if that provides what you need and if not I'm sure we can help further !

David, thanks for the quick response. I had actually found a link to your SNMP Probe-based Monitors article here on the site but on another thread. Not the magic bullet I hoped for, but confirms what I feared. I have some work ahead of me creating a bunch of unit monitors. Thanks again.

Almost every network device I discover, I get hit with bunch of EventID 11052 on the assigned MS. Is this because I don't have any monitors for the network devices? I just wanted know before I look at this solution. Thanks...
