After finally getting discovery working, I do have some questions that I can't seem to find answers for. On our network, I need to not only see what devices are online, but also to know what they are and the names. I also need to be able to inventory PC's and servers to know things like disk space, memory usage and newly installed software. I don't see an option for active directory in any of the configurations. Am I correct in assuming there is no support for this? Makes it kind of useless in managing a network if it does not.

Wow, I gotta say the responses to my questions so far over the last couple of days is quite astounding. Out of all the open source apps I have been testing, zabbix and OpenNMS are by far the worst when it comes to responsiveness as it applies to asking for help. Such a shame because I had hoped this system would work! -
@chillyw13 : try being less agressive on most of your posts, it may help. You're being ironic, sarcastic and impatient most of the time. This is a community forum, not a "clap your fingers and get an immediate answer" system.
If it's not going fast enough, I'm pretty sure Zabbix LLC will be more than pleased to help you through their paying support.Comment

Now its you who is sarcastic with the above. Do you realkly think someone is going to pay for (crappy) support of this (crappy as well) product?
BTW: Zabbix is FREE so maybe we will introduce race segregation as well; if they divide customers between non-paying (they will get lower quality support) and paying ones (first-class support)??
Its like saying to no-paying ones: hey you know what? Fuck you. Just that.Comment

This is why most Linux and open source products aren't main stream. The attitude of people and lack of accurate documentation frustrate people who would love to support such projects. I've been in the IT field for over 20 years and with very little exception I have not found any Linux or open source products to be even remotely close to ease of use and configuration like commercial products. The idea that someone is going to build a product and give it away but charge for support is a great business model. However, I can see no benefit in paying for support if I cannot even get the damned thing to work according to the documentation. It's not a good business model to say "here, let me give this to you for free. What, it doesn't work as advertised? Well, if you pay me I will make it do so".Comment
