Introduction

NMIS is a complete management system which collects fault, performance and basic inventory/configuration data from routers, switches, servers, firewalls, facilities (UPS, AC/CRACK, Sensors), and anything which has an SNMP agent.  NMIS is highly extensible, using device models to define what is collected from devices, and how events are handled.
