Have you looked at all into the ACP-XML api? I have an old doc from 4.1 on it but haven't seen much since. Seems like it would be a great way to integrate larger scale Acme provisioning and management with a home grown system. On Sat, 2009-09-12 at 19:10 -0700, David Hiers wrote:
Acme is a victim of their own success on this one. It's so easy to manage the SDs over the CLI for a handful of boxes, and it plugs into our overall monitoring strategy so well that I've never thought of what I'm missing with the EMS. Size matters, so if we had a oodles of them it might be a different story.
Along these lines, has anyone ever cooked up a decent perl module to work with the selecting and such needed to modify the config? It'd be pretty sweet to can some module that can work with their CLI paradigm as well as expect or net::telnet.

We only use CLI. The only thing I can see that may be useful is the Fault and Performance management. And that is if you don?t already have something in place that reads SNMP traps, syslog, or something like MRTG. What I?ve found is that we have to do very little tweaking of the default settings for the various configuration elements. Once you create it and get it working, you generally leave it be and just add new and nearly identical items every so often. For instance: new SIP trunking customers. The ?core? side pretty much never changes unless we?re demoing equipment adding new equipment. I?ve never felt like I?m missing out and all our other equipment runs largely off GUI.

So for all the Acme users out there, is the huge cost for the EMS worth it to you?
How many people use CLI vs EMS for their day to day actions? Some things lend more towards CLI (linux, cisco, asterisk) and some things just lend more towards GUI (Metaswitch, Broadsoft, Sonus Insight).
