I have used OpenNMS for a few years and have a love/hate relationship
with it. I like the UI and that trend graphing is built in (not an add
on like Nagios). I suspect most of my problems with it are because I do
not have a really good understanding for tomcat and java. One problem
was that because it can take a period of time to start to collect data
from a device I never knew if there was a problem or not (I needed more
immediate feedback and better ways to parse the logs). Another is that
is scans everything when doing auto discovery so I spent a lot of time
telling it I did not care about XYZ device or interface. I also did
not like editing xml files all the time to make any changes.
I am planning to move to a system that I can configure with my
configuration management system instead of auto discovery (probably
Nagios as I have used it before).
Just my two bits.
cheers,
ski
