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

  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.
