We are currently using Fidelia's NetVigil product to query over 10000 SNMP
OIDs every 5 minutes. This is running on a Pentium 3, 1GHz Linux box with
plenty of resources to spare.
In addition to NetVigil fulfilling our enterprise monitoring requirements,
it has saved us hundreds of man-hours that would have been spent customizing
NOCOL.
Fidelia's support has been tremendous.
If anyone has any questions regarding my experiences with NetVigil, please
feel free to contact me.

Jerry-
If you need such a fast multi-threaded SNMP monitor (for a very large
number of devices), see if you want to try the Fidelia NetVigil product (it
is a commercial product, but we are running specials for NOCOL users).
It has a *very* fast multithreaded SNMP poller which also sends multiple
requests to the same host in the same packet. It is capable of polling
about 50k SNMP tests on a single P3 or equivalent machine at 5 minute
intervals.
If you have custom monitors that you have written for NOCOL/SNIPS, you
should be able to port them to NetVigil easily.
For more information on the NOCOL program from Fidelia, please go to:
http://www.fidelia.com/nocol/
NOTE: I work for Fidelia, and I hope that the various nocol programs
(including a free program for pingmon/hostmon users) will compensate for
the lack of active and periodic NOCOL releases.
