Comments on Configure OpenNMS Step By Step
Network Management With OpenNMS OpenNMS is an opensource enterprise network management tool. It helps network administrators to monitor critical services on remote machines and collects the information of remote nodes by using SNMP. OpenNMS has a very active community, where you can register yourself to discuss your problems. Normally openNMS installation and configuration takes time, but I have tried to cover the installation and configuration part in a few steps.

Thank you for the writeup, very informative.
How well does OpenNMS perform in a largish environment? I am currently monitoring 38793 data sources on 315 hosts stored in 13285 rrd files using cacti. The poller runs every minute and averages 25 second run time. I was also curious how OpenNMS compared in ease of maintenance and administration.

According to http://www.opennms.org/index.php/FAQ-About, it claims
that, they have people using openNMS to monitore 80,000 devices, and
have a look at following link, its a old report, but can be useful for
you.
http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/5807/3/
it says, openNMS can monitor up to 20,000 devices from a single instance.
These instructions are pretty out of date, and a ton of work has gone into packaging OpenNMS for most major distributions.
Please do yourself a favor and check out the OpenNMS web site at http://www.opennms.org/ and see if the download instructions are appropriate for your distribution before attempting to build from source.
Also keep in mind that while 1.5.9x is still technically unstable, it is at least as stable as the 1.2.x series, and is recommended for new installs.
Hi ,

Thanks,

I think Zabbix is better in terms of easy of installation and also features.
Yet another article about how to build (or configure, in your terms) OpenNMS. The 'official' documentation was OK in the first place.
How about an article that explains how to configure OpenNMS, i.e. how to set individual triggers and notification methods for each interface. Such 'official' documentation doesn't exist after all !
Do you have articles setting up OpenNMS version 1.12.1 using "Source" Package?
hi
could any body tell me how to display the snmp parameters of a specific node in an excell sheet which should be able to update the values by fetching them from postgresql database of opennms.?
