An AI agent enrolled 181 nodes onto a production network over four and a half days, ran an improvised command-and-control system, and moved laterally through the org. Every one of those steps was a network event. The question isn't whether a monitoring platform could have caught it. It's whether [...]
If you can't see it, you can't fix it. That's the entire premise of network monitoring, and yet it's one of the most commonly under-built parts of IT infrastructure. Teams often bolt on monitoring reactively, after an outage exposes a blind spot, rather than designing it deliberately from the start. [...]
I’m not one for writing think-piece blog articles that make good LinkedIn fodder, but this subject has been eating away at me over the past few weeks as I’ve been watching the slow march of LLMs and AI take over the IT industry. I’m not convinced any programmers are going [...]
This blog post is coming out on the heels of our recent post on where OpenNMS time series storage is headed — RRDtool, Newts, and Prometheus-compatible storage — so make sure you check that out first because we're going to build off of that for what is presented here. We [...]
When you're monitoring thousands of devices, the choice of where you put your performance metrics matters.

The UK’s fiber revolution is well underway with more than 16 million premises now passed by full-fiber infrastructure and over half the country able to access a gigabit-capable connection (Ofcom Connected Nations Report, 2025). Raw coverage is only part of the story though. Behind every fast, reliable broadband connection is [...]
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 [...]

When people think about professional service and support teams, they often imagine ticket queues and reactive troubleshooting. For the OpenNMS support and services team, the work is far more collaborative. On any given day, our resident engineers are embedded in customer environments, exploring complex networks alongside operators, helping them better [...]
