I built a dashboard (very pretty if i do say so myself!) using the ITRS Geneos product. Management love it. The operations guys, not so much. Why?

We have plenty of tasks we could constructively spend our time on rather watschen der blinkenlichten.

If no one's going to watch your dashboard, why build it? If occasional glances at a dashboard is your monitoring strategy, why monitor at all?

Our monitoring system has to not only interrupt and alert us, it also has to be capable of some interventions on our behalf occasionally.
