Just using nginx isn’t enough

I have a WordPress blog running which is using quite a common default debian LAMP setup. For all my reverse proxy and SSL stuff, I use always nginx – I love this piece of software. Probably I should also give tengine a try but I haven’t found a reason to leave the original So first [...]

OpenNMS community behind the scenes

Hi guys, long time ago I wrote my last article in my blog. Sorry, I know the only thing to see here, where just the tumble weeds passing by. Markus and me are quite in heavy load with OpenNMS projects, even commercial and community wise. I guess it is time to came back from the [...]

OpenNMS Devjam 2012 and The Art of Community

I had the pleasure to be invited by Markus Neumann, Ronny Trommer to come along and meet all the OpenNMS folks from the around of the world.

Migrating a JavaEE5 application from Jboss 4 EAP to Jboss 7

Disclaimer: I wrote this post some weeks ago but never got around to finish it. Sadly the migration project is currently delayed and in hibernation mode.

OpenNMS JMX Tooling extension

My friend and workmate Markus wrote a really nice tool to create massive JMX data collection configurations for OpenNMS. The basic idea is to have something like a SNMP walk for JMX. The really really cool thing is, the tool can generate the whole jmx-datacollection-configuration.xml and creates also RRD/JRobin graphs. So if you want to [...]

Update OpenNMS VM to 1.10

You can download the VM from the file section on Sourceforge. Unfortunately I got a request from a community member for a [...]

Once upon a time

there was blog, created to tell people working with and around open source software. It seems the author of the blog was sucked into a deep dark black hole and was never seen again, but wait … OpenNMS meets Puppet Ok, I’m quite back from a few really cool weeks or better months of work, [...]

WMI – Why Me! Idiot

Ich kann es einfach nicht verstehen warum es so kompliziert ist Microsoft Windows Systeme mit freien Netzwerk Management Tools zu monitoren. Ich habe hier gerade ein Netzwerk mit knapp 50 Windows 7 Enterprise x64 Betriebssystemen vor mir. Ich habe mich aus diesem Grund mit dem Thema Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) auseinandergesetzt. Als allererstes ist mir [...]
