OpenNMS was registered on Sourceforge in March of 2000, two month after NetSaint, which is now Nagios. While both products are about the same age, they took totally different paths.
OpenNMS aimed from the start to be enterprise-grade - to be able to manage hundred of thousands of devices from a single installation. In addition to monitoring, OpenNMS also focuses on provisioning (both automatic and directed), data collection and event management.
This presentation is aimed to introduce people to OpenNMS, and it will cover installation, basic discovery and an overview of features.
