I run OpenNMS currently, and the one problem I have is it's very peculiar -- one might say academic -- terminology and structure. It's not a point-and-click interface, despite being web-based. Instead, you must wrangle with pollers and responders and notifiers. Eventually I got my head around it, but it's still pretty painful to use.
I run a mix of Cactus, Intermapper, and PRTG, with PRTG a very nice commercial product that offers a free version supporting up to 100 sensors. -mel ________________________________ From: NANOG <[email protected]> on behalf of Daniel Lacey <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2018 10:04:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: What NMS do you use and why? Take a look at opennms.org Scales very well. Lots of API hooks for integration with other data sources and applications. It is open source and they offer paid support services, one-time (e.g. setup and training) or on-going support contracts.
