Ken,
One thing which has helped minimize the false-reports for us
on NetView NT... is to set the ping timeouts to something like:
1st = 5 sec, 2nd = 30 sec, 3rd = 7 sec.
The thought behind this is to give the network and/or router a
chance to free-up a little between the 2nd and 3rd retry.
Regards,
Gary Boyles, Intel

Since you have Essentials, check out the Availability reports that it has.
They're pretty "primitive", and Essentials has to poll the device just like
NetView, so it may not be any more reliable. As a positive, it IS
web-based.

Subject: [NV-L] Interface Availability on Routers
Does anyone have suggestions on providing interface availability data for
Cisco routers. The remote polling from NetView has not been very accurate
due to heavy network traffic and router utilization. We get 3-4 false
outages per day on the heavily used links. We have NetView v6 and
CiscoWorks 2000 Resource Manager Essentials installed on an NT server
monitoring the 20 our so routers in the network.
Ideally I would like to be able to create a nice report (web enabled) with
the interface availability information. Any suggestions?
