OpenNMS
OpenNMS is an
enterprise grade network monitoring platform developed under the Open
Source model. It consists of a community supported open-source project
as well as a commercial services, training and support organization.
OpenNMS aims to be a truly distributed, scalable platform for
all
aspects of the Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security
(FCAPS) network management model, and to make this platform available
to both open source and commercial applications.
It has a configurable, event-driven messaging subsystem that
allows you to plug-in event
streams from other sources, such as vulnerability information from
Nessus, tailed log files, and /proc-based monitors.
OpenNMS has a wide variety of monitors available.
It is written in Java.
Features include:
- Service Polling - determining service availability
- Data Collection - collecting, storing and reporting on
network information
- Event and Notification Management - receiving events, both
internal and external
- Thresholding - evaluating polled latency data or collected
performance
data against configurable thresholds, creating events when these are
exceeded or rearmed
- Alarms and automations - reducing events according to a
reduction key and scripting automated actions centered around alarms
- Notifications - sending notices regarding noteworthy events
via e-mail, XMPP, or other means
