Re: OT: Nagios/ OpenNMS

We use both to some extent. I find nagios great for setting alerts but not
really a full NMS. OpenNMS is ok. It can monitor and provide graphs but
unless you spend a long time building custom views it is hard to use it
from a network perspective. Our systems guys like it because they can
easily drill down on one host. From a network perspective though I couldn't
find any good views to give me stats on the various uplinks etc. Basically
if I was hunting an issue I would have to go look link by link.

I have purchased Solar Winds and it is much more useful from a network
perspective.
