OpenNMS is a free software under the GNU General Public License. It's an all-in-one monitoring and performance management tool for networks, systems and services. The goal for OpenNMS is to be a truly distributed, scalable platform for all aspects of the FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security) network management model, and to make this platform available to both open source and commercial applications.
Currently, OpenNMS focuses on three main areas: - Service Polling : determining service availability and reporting on same.
- Data Collection : collecting, storing and reporting on network information as well as generating thresholds.
- Event and Notification Management : receiving events, both internal and external, and using those events to feed a robust notification system, including escalation.
The OpenNMS Group is the commercial entity that funds the OpenNMS application development. |
