OpenNMS(1/4)


Company name

–
Sortova Consulting Group


NMS name

–
OpenNMS


Functionalities

–
High performance

•
A single instance of OpenNMS supports monitoring of a large number
of nodes from a single server

–
Automation

•

OpenNMS minimizes the amount of manual configuration and
reconfiguration needed by automatically performing tasks on a
regular basis, like discovering new nodes, detecting services on new
and existing nodes, and gathering response time and performance
data.

–
Rule
-
based configuration

•
Flexible rules can be used to specify what services are polled on
certain devices, which SNMP data is collected and how often, and to
whom various notifications should be delivered, without having to
explicitly identify and configure each host in the monitoring system.
