Using Dia for auto network mapping tool ?

["T.J. Yang" <tj_yang hotmail com>]

I have Xymon(Hobbit) system monitoring tool to monitor thousands of machines in different LANs and WANs.
Dynamic generation of network maps upon adding and deleting of machines will be a great time saver.

Both the GUI(for human) and command line(for script) ability to create diagrams for network maps looks very 
feasible.

I am in the process of learning more about Dia and HOPING to write a perl script to call up network shapes of 
route,switch,machines icon to depict my networks and machines.

Writing this email is to call for advice and helps of computer administrators that has same wish/need.


Currently I am studying  mysql2dia.pl script at http://sql2dia.sourceforge.net/

The challenge is to parse host relationships in bb-host format and convert them into *.dia using network 
shapes.
