Dear all,<br />
<br />
If I were to design a system that would be used for monitoring over a network, do you think tailoring SNMP or creating bespoke web services would be more suitable?<br />
<br />
The application would monitor both processes (Win XP and Unix) and machine statistics (CPU usage etc). &nbsp;I could therefore write my own processes that would do the monitoring, which would be talking to a central application via SOAP - but if I can lever anything off SNMP it would obviously be better.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts? &nbsp;Much appreciated.<br />

SNMP vs Web Services

Programming theory deals with the design, implementation, analysis, characterization, and classification of programming languages and their individual features, along with introductory programming concepts like program structure, variable declaration and conditional and looping constructs. Sub-disciplines include the formal semantics of programming languages, type theory, program analysis and transformation, comparative programming language analysis, metaprogramming, domain-specific languages, compiler construction and run-time systems.
