Objectives

Our plan is to create a network managenemt suite for GNOME under the GNU public license (GPL).

The suite will be devided into a server part and a GUI part. The server part is responsible for discovering the network into a database and keeping the database up to date. It also listens for traps or notifications of the network devices and checks if the devices are alive.
The GUI part is responsible for drawing maps, MIB browsing, SNMP applications, traffic graphing. It will use the information gathered by the server part by connecting to the database. Most of the GUI part will me implemented as bonobo objects.
