Pre-configured demos would not be of any use, we can certainly imagine what/how a fully configured system might work. Where we are having problems is getting a new, clean system to work properly and so would need to be confident that we could get it up and running quickly and successfully without having to commit hundreds of hours of configuration and debug time. I have installed Hyperic now on multiple machines at different locations and each time behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes monitored systems all work out of the gate, sometimes they partially work, and other times not.
For example, I had a mostly working system with 3.05 but had some strange behavior where some of the metrics would show up and others would not. So I removed and installed a fresh 3.1 and now some of those metrics that didnt work before, work fine now, and many that worked fine before, do not. And NOTHING else has changed. This inconsistent behavior causes me great concern with regards to reliability.
I need to show the client a working system in their environment and with their mixed bag of Win2k, Win03 and Linux clients. I will try the sales email address you suggested.
