Someone pointed out that the Node Details (nodedetails.cgi) report would be more useful if it only displayed services that are being monitored on a node, as opposed to all the services that have been discovered by OpenNMS. After running this by a few of my users, all agreed that it was better to hide services that are [...]
I’ve been asked a similar question by two different people so I figured a public response was in order. After looking at the scripts on this site they noticed that some of them could be changed to run much faster. Most of the speed increase would come from performing a single large SQL statement and parsing the [...]

Also, I recommend reading the information on this site before installing. It’s not required to install the scripts in this way. If you only want a small subset, the scripts can be [...]

I’d like to thank Tarus and everyone who took the time to visit. I’ve enjoyed meeting several new people, such as Ronny Trommer who maintains the German blog www.open-factory.org. [...]

There’s no point in having a monitoring system if it goes down as part of another failure. Although it will not reduce your workload, running OpenNMS on a stand alone system [...]
There is a lot of information I could post right away but I will try to make sure each post is clean and as generally applicable as possible. So things may come in bits and pieces but once complete, I hope they will provide a set to tools that will help anyone implementing OpenNMS. If you have not yet [...]
