+NOCOL/SNIPS (Network Operation Center On-Line) is a network monitoring 
+package that runs on Unix platforms and is capable of monitoring network and
+system variables such as ICMP or RPC reachability, RMON variables,
+nameservers, ethernet load, port reachability, host performance, SNMP traps,
+modem line usage, appletalk & novell routes/services, BGP peers, syslog
+files, etc. The software is extensible and new monitors can be added easily.
+
+The software consists of a number of individual, standalone monitoring agents
+that poll the various network and system parameters and put it into a common
+data format.  All the monitors have a common display and postprocessing
+interface (such as logging, notification, etc.). The design allows running
+just one set of monitoring agents and *any* number of display agents, and all
+of the displays see the same consistent set of data. Additionally, each event
+is assigned a severity (determined by comparing against user defined threshold
+values) which is gradually escalated, thus preventing false alarms and a
+customized priority notification based on the severity. There are four
+severity levels ranging from Critical thru Info, and each event typically
+steps through each one of these severities until it reaches its maximum
+allowed level.
