Jorge, how many syslogs are you managing with your CiscoWorks?
Did you have to have all of the devices in the CiscoWorks database?
Performance limitations? How about compared to your homegrown?

Cordially,

Subject:  Re: [NV-L] cisco - router/switch configs and syslogs



I have been using Ciscoworks for Solaris for over 2 years now and just
applied the latest upgrades (CD one 4th Edition) The Syslog Analyser and
Configuration Manager applications from CW2K works just perfect, we are
thinking on stopping our in house made tools (expect and perl scripts) and
use only Ciscoworks apps as production tools. I'm not familiar with the NT
version of the product, but if you are having problems, open a tickect with
TAC if you haven't done it yet. They should provide support for the
product.
