    IPAM

    I've mentioned this in another thread, but I'm throwing it in here for tracking purposes.
    IP Address Management tool has tons of potential if:

    1. It can run as a service (I currently must leave an account logged into the console to keep this app running, as I publish it to the Orion page every 5 minutes).
    2. It can be paused or stopped when adding or editing networks (it hangs the GUI when polling a network)

    These are 2 major enhancements which would put this tool in another class.

    A further enhancement or perhaps a new tool request:

    Ping scan a subnet/network at regular intervals & record the total number of responses, average latency & packet loss in a DB.
    Graph the results similar to Orion charts:

    1. Total number of connected users every 15 minutes
    2. Average latency of all connected nodes/users (and ability to drill down to individual nodes)
    3. Average packet loss of all connected nodes/users (and ability to drill down to individual nodes)

    This could be used to track the number of concurrently connected VPN users, or the number of PC's in a call center environment throughout the day.

    Re: IPAM

    Those are some really well thought out feature requests. I second them,

    I would really like to see IPAM as a service also.
