Doesn't do disk monitoring for shit on anything that isn't NET-SNMP or
Linux.

From Solaris, nada, zip.

From FreeBSD, nada, zip.

Windows?  Haha

when alerting happens, it doens't do anything but make a red colored
rounded corner box.  Yes, could be my virgin usage of it, but I can't
figure out how to set up any type of notification.

Loading Zenpacks is ... all I can say is WTF - loaded up Zenpacks for
doing NetApp disk monitoring, had to find the right one that is the
dependancy, loaded that, then loaded the NetApp one for disks.  Got
that done.

Guess what?  Nada, zip, nothing for disks.

Let's talk software configuration, it should be able to use the 2021
MIB tree to find hrStorage, hrSoftware, etc - and does not.

Even on Linux it can't find the software from the 8072 MIB.

What am I missing?

I am all for being shown the fool and that I am stupid, point me down
the correct path.
