I've recently had the exact discussion internally regarding EOC. Aside from teh fact that EOC seems to have been left behind a little with the newer views/resources, the feeling is that the constant polling/refreshing of each remote instance potentially leaves EOC "out of sync for too long. With the new functionality in core > 10.4 with subscriptions, could EOC be updated to leverage these in the same way Alert Central does, but for other areas, such as up/down status etc?
bmrad - Would welcome the chance to discuss in greater depth...
