If your team is among the 63% of organizations fielding more than a thousand infrastructure alerts a day, the problem usually isn't your monitoring platform. It's the gap between a default configuration and one that actually reflects how your environment runs.

That gap is what our new Professional Services are built to close.

We're excited to announce Installation and Integration engagements starting at $500 per project. These services are designed to get OpenNMS deployed the first time correctly and tuned to surface signal instead of noise.

What's Included

Installation

The Installation track covers what most teams want help with up front:

  • Deploy Core — Stand up OpenNMS Core, Minions, and Sentinels with secure communication and validated health checks, so you're production-ready from day one.
  • Upgrade (Config Merge) — Merge your custom configurations cleanly into a newer release, reducing risk while preserving the tuning your team has already done.
  • Node Provisioning — Provision up to 1,000 nodes through PRIS, discovery, or whichever method fits your inventory.

Integration

The Integration track is where OpenNMS starts to look less like a generic monitoring tool and more like part of your stack:

  • Kafka & Prometheus — Connect OpenNMS to your existing data infrastructure for broader observability and external metric consumption.
  • Custom Authentication — RADIUS, LDAP, Active Directory, Kerberos, and SSO/OAuth via third-party modules.
  • Alarm & Event Forwarding — Route alarms and events through any of our northbounders: BSF, Drools, email, trap, syslog, the Kafka Producer, or Elasticsearch archiving.
  • Custom Events & Traps — Scripted event translation and custom trap configurations for the SNMP devices that don't fit a standard MIB.

Why It Matters

The value is straightforward. You get a faster path to a production-ready setup, fewer false positives once you're live, and a configuration our team can stand behind: because we built it with you.

Each package is scoped and priced per project, so you know exactly what you're getting before we start. No surprises.

Ready To Close The Gap?

If you've been putting off a deployment, an upgrade, or that integration backlog because the team doesn't have the cycles, reach out, and we'll put together a plan tailored to your environment.
