OpenNMS

Summary
OpenNMS is a free and open-source enterprise grade network monitoring and network management platform. It is developed and supported by a community of users and developers and by the OpenNMS Group, offering commercial services, training and support. The goal is for OpenNMS to be a truly distributed, scalable management application platform for all aspects of the FCAPS network management model while remaining 100% free and open source. Currently the focus is on Fault and Performance Management. All code associated with the project is available under the Affero General Public License. The OpenNMS Project is maintained by The Order of the Green Polo. The OpenNMS Project was started in July, 1999 by Steve Giles, Brian Weaver and Luke Rindfuss and their company PlatformWorks. It was registered as project 4141 on SourceForge in March 2000. On September 28, 2000, PlatformWorks was acquired by Atipa, a Kansas City-based competitor to VA Linux Systems. In July 2001, Atipa changed its name to Oculan. In September 2002, Oculan decided to stop supporting the OpenNMS project. Tarus Balog, then an Oculan employee, left the company to continue to focus on the project. In September 2004, The OpenNMS Group was started by Balog, Matt Brozowski and David Hustace to provide a commercial services and support business around the project. Shortly after that, The Order of the Green Polo (OGP) was founded to manage the OpenNMS Project itself. While many members of the OGP are also employees of The OpenNMS Group, it remains a separate organization. OpenNMS is written in Java, and thus can run on any platform with support for a Java SDK version 11 or higher. Precompiled binaries are available for most Linux distributions. In addition to Java, it requires the PostgreSQL database, although work is being done to make the application database independent by leveraging the Hibernate project. OpenNMS describes itself as a "network management application platform". While useful when first installed, the software was designed to be highly customizable to work in a wide variety of network environments.
