Cisco Works Monitoring Capabilities

Does CiscoWorks such as LMS support non-cisco devices such as HP Switches.  If it does then at what level.  If not, then perhaps we should look into some other Management Software such As SolarWinds.

Thanks

CiscoWorks supports non-Cisco devices in only the most rudimentary ways - very basic config management and sylogging is all I can think of. Versions prior to 4.0 will also count those non-Cisco devices against your license.It is really designed to exploit the capabilities and integrate with Cisco devices and the software they run.

If you have signifgicant non-Cisco installed base you may want to consider other products. If all you need is configurations, RANCID is fine in a multi-vendor environment. Solarwinds Orion and What's Up Gold (licensed commercial products) are often used for monitoring, as is MRTG and/or Cacti (open source).
