Re: [nznog] Nagios vs. OpenNMS vs. SomethingElse

+1 for Opsview. I have a reasonable amount of experience with it of late, It ticks most of the boxes mentioned here. For those of you who aren't aware - it's basically Nagios on steroids. Full commercial support is available or there is a community edition with almost all of the features in the commercially supported version. It has a data warehouse built in, supports multiple distributed monitoring points, SNMP Traps can be handled via passive checks, a neat web interface, android client, built in reports and a REST API that works really well. The commercially supported version also integrates with RANCID, Jasper reports and has a service desk connector (integrates with RT and such). http://www.opsview.com/community/compare-opsview Oh they have a module for puppet too :) On 30 August 2011 22:28, Geraint Jones wrote:

Hi Folks,

If you had it all to do over again, what would you use for network monitoring: Nagios, OpenNMS, or something else entirely?

I care about availaility, latency, loss, jitter, and trap handling for interface up/down, loss of power, etc. Sensible behavior in situations where parent routers/links are flapping is also important.

I would very much appreciate input from folks monitoring 1000+ network elements.

Cheers,

Jon
