OpenNMS appears to have some significant shortcomings for what I need it to do. That's not to say it isn't good competition for Openview. I need to be able to import, or install, MIB information to be used when traps are collected. With OpenNMS you have to manually create an XML doc with all of your OIDs. I have thousands of devices and many, many MIBS, so this would be a daunting task.
I also need de-duplication, meaning if the same host is sending multiple traps for the same issue, I do want a separate event for every one of those. I need this because I need to create Helpdesk tickets for some of these events. Obviously I don't want to create many tickets for the same problem. Please correct if I'm wrong on either of these points, but this is based on what I received on the OpenNMS mailing list. Are there any other (free or low cost) products that can collect SNMP traps? Will NetSaint collect traps? I haven't seen anything about SNMP on their web site.
