A cloud-enabled, simple solution to extend the reach of your OpenNMS monitoring system
Minion Virtual Appliance
The next step in distributed monitoring
The Minion Virtual Appliance is a virtual device that enables OpenNMS to collect data from hard-to access devices and services. It acts as both a proxy to process polling tasks and a receiver for SNMP traps, syslog messages, and network flow data to send back to your OpenNMS core.
