[opennms-discuss] Thresholds and Triggers

[Jesse M. <jm...@at...>]

In the past I have used a combination of OpenView and
Netcool for network management. This setup provided me with
two key features that I now need from OpenNMS.

-	Thresholds, the ability to generate an alarm after given
limits (such as CPU, disk, or memory utilization) have been
reached or exceeded.
  
-	Triggers, the ability to perform an action, or call an
external program based on criteria in an event.  This
enabled the NMS to communicate with an external system such
as a customer/contact database and send out personalized
notifications regarding managed devices.

I’m putting together a proposal to implement OpenNMS in our
environment. Any thoughts, or opinions on the subject would
be appreciated.
