OpenNMS doesn't have a collector for this purpose but if you can expose the data through Apache, you can use the HttpCollector, or the XmlCollector.

In terms of polling you can use:

Another possibility is using the following (which performs better because it doesn't require to execute a different process, but require to re-implement your tasks):
