Omegamon need to start to support the use of SMF

Omegamon is dependent on NMI. This prevent other vendors to send important information to Omegamon. 

A simpel exempel is the sftp server from CO:Z. It can not use the NMI but can generate SMF 119 records. It is the same information as the FTP server generates through  NMI. More and more transfers are done by sftp and Omegamon is not monitoring it, it is a block hole of information..... 

Omegamon needs a way to add the missing information to the NMI data. Or stop use the NMI completely and only use SMF. One last option is to open the NMI interface to vendors.
