It's now Veritas NerveCenter and has been for quite some time now. We use
it here to pre-filter events then forward them to NetView for now and will
be using it for event correlation in the near future. It is a good
product, not an easy one to learn and training is recommended from veritas
(of course).
Hope this helps.

Tom,
Seagate NerveCenter is a competing product to SMARTS. It works the
old-fashioned way, custom built filters and logic trees vs. SMARTS
codebook.
Both approaches have limitations, but SMARTS may have an edge in
out-of-the-box installation and setup. Both can operate stand-alone
(they
have there own status pollers) and pass events on to Fault Mgmt
platforms.
SMARTS is much more expensive, though (at least it was a year ago).
There are a couple new products out there, but IMHO, they are all
too
immature and limited in capability.

Does anyone have a good recommendation (for or against) a
solution to
"root
cause analysis" in NetView? I've read about SMARTS' InCharge and it
sounds
good. Are there any other solutions to consider. Thanks, Tom G.
