Re: Questions about minions

Hello David,
 
OK, thank you, it's clearer now.
 
Here are the links:

https://www.adventuresinoss.com/2016/01/22/opennms-at-scale/
https://www.adventuresinoss.com/2015/06/03/opennms-grafana-and-the-internet-of-things/
https://www.adventuresinoss.com/2018/01/04/welcome-to-2018/
 
The last two articles would not be misleading if combined with Sentinel.
 
Thank you,
 
Fred
