Re: OpenNMS server requirements

>> Back maybe 5 years ago, we had a simple, 2U, RedHat linux server with two hard drives (mirrored) running OpenNMS, PostgreSQL, Tomcat, etc just fine. We are finally ready to stop using Sitescope and go back to OpenNMS but now I am getting concerned about the hardware requirements.

On most of these devices, we will probably just send SNMP Traps to OpenNMS and no SNMP polling. (If there is a lot of log data, I can probably store it on our file server/NAS.

OK! This makes life a bit easier for me. For now, we will just be doing monitoring with little or no data collection. My group is not managing the interfaces on (most of) our switches so this is not a major concern.
