If you look at the OpenNMS documentation, you’ll notice a change. Yes, it has a more polished appearance thanks to our new corporate branding, but it also has improved content and functionality as a result of our recent migration from AsciiDoctor to Antora for building the documentation. Migrating the [...]
OpenNMS is an “old school open source project” in many ways. We’ve been around for 20 years, spent most of that time hacking on code, and our community feels like family. Typical of early open source projects, marketing and branding haven’t always been a top priority at OpenNMS. We’ve always [...]
Large, distributed networks can be difficult to reach and monitor from a central location, with challenges like firewalls, network address translation (NAT) traversal, overlapping IP address ranges, and locked-down environments. The OpenNMS Minion component extends the reach of Horizon/Meridian, so you can monitor systems and networks that would otherwise be [...]
When you want to store large amounts of non-aggregated data (such as performance metrics), the round robin database (RRDtool) in OpenNMS may not be enough. OpenNMS provides a time-series data store (Newts) that works with Apache Cassandra or ScyllaDB to group metrics for more efficient storage and retrieval. It removes [...]

Based on Horizon 26.1.3, here’s a preview of some of the features we’re excited to bring to Meridian 2020: Enriched Flows, Better Messaging with Kafka Configure flows to include node metadata before forwarding to Kafka so that you can aggregate flow data or integrate it with your own custom database [...]
The problem: Device design prevents auto-discovery Windstream deploys Calix C7 Multiservice Access Systems (C7s) in its network. C7s work in clusters, where all members of the cluster share the same IP address. Data collection from C7s is complicated, as each device has multiple internal SNMP agents, each of which has [...]
