Antarctic's First Plane, Found In Ice 110
Arvisp writes "In 1912 Australian explorer Douglas Mawson planned to fly over the southern pole. His lost plane has now been found. The plane – the first off the Vickers production line in Britain – was built in 1911, only eight years after the Wright brothers executed the first powered flight. For the past three years, a team of Australian explorers has been engaged in a fruitless search for the aircraft, last seen in 1975. Then on Friday, a carpenter with the team, Mark Farrell, struck gold: wandering along the icy shore near the team's camp, he noticed large fragments of metal sitting among the rocks, just a few inches beneath the water."

I thought that the snmp poller only polled interfaces status, if so it doesn't fit the bill.
If it can poll any oid and test the result against arbitrary values i should look harder, i'm afraid that passive status check could be a serious performance hit.

I'm following OpenNMS with some interest. (mostly for network)
In the backend, I think it miss a way to monitor via snmp the status of modules in a network chassis
