I've got my Sun Net Manager implementation almost to the point where it is
starting to get useful and have been thinking about the sort of things that
I'd like to do with it, one of the ideas is that it would be really nice to
be able to monitor disk errors and retrys on my file servers around the
country. We still have a lot of old SMD disks that are starting to die on
a regular basis. What I would like to know is, is there a structure in the
kernel or device driver that keeps track of the number read and write retries
and failures? And is it difficult to write your own agents for SNM? Also has
anyone implemented a shell script or perl interface, so that you can generate
traps from scripts?

Other ideas i have in mind as SNM extensions are:

o A watchdog process that checks up on our back up systems and generates
  events if a backup fails.

o An agent that watches logins to modems and reports on failures, etc.

If anyone has any ideas or experiences that they would like to share please
send me some email.
