[K12OSN] Re: build your own thin client

[Mike Oliveri]

I know a few guys who installed OpenNMS following this guide without
undue difficulty:

I don't have any direct experience with OpenNMS myself, but I hear it's
slick.

Some of the stuff I need to display is home-grown and specialized and
I'd just like to replace the multi-headed windows boxes with thin
clients.  But, some is cacti and some is a program called 'spong' that I
found many years ago.  It is still around at
http://spong.sourceforge.net/ but I'd probably use nagios or zabbix for
small-scale things that do notifications if I were
starting now.   However I need something that scales up and does
both snmp and other probes and does historical graphs along with
notifications.   I think that's going to be opennms although
it is more difficult than some of the others to install since it needs
the Sun jdk and tomcat as the web server installed first.
