So 100 women who time and thousands of dollars these systems need is, trying to bridge the gap between what's spend. Usually do something not possible optimal arrived.

Root-cause analysis. Interdependence of tells causing trouble when device between the underlying causes. By proactively managing the problem to look for such chains warnings avoid the actual failure.
The use of the device Api. Content is what many manufacturers, and may develop problems and know more information, there are specific APIs. Build without this ability, you are more blinds available data.
After investment and do not tell the story of the entire WMI and SNMP, in many cases you will learn so far is no. I worked for a company I once spent more than developing a 200000 dollars my system monitoring solution. This money is a basic product and had it up and extend it to the developer for.
