My only beef with OpenNMS is that it is a polling type monitoring system which is fine for say network gear but I would rather have a client/server setup for servers that I want to monitor.
Polling is the best way to know if a service is actually working, but OpenNMS also listens for SNMP traps, syslog messages, or xmlrpc events if you want to send things to it.

what I can tell still does not give me the flexibility that I want or need that I get from other system such as Hobbit (BB) or Nagios.
Example? Stock SNMP will report most of the usual stuff (interface bandwidth/errors, memory/disk/cpu use, etc.) and there are ways to extend it to other values.
Though I will admit I had not know all that much about snmp other then to make sure that it is turned off on systems I install to give bots one less attack point if they make it past my iptable rules in some manner.
Don't turn read access off, just use a hard-to-guess community string. Usually you would block inbound access at your internet firewalls anyway.
