Integration of OpenNMS with Junos Space Network Management Platform

Starting in Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 24.1R1, OpenNMS is not bundled with Junos Space Network Management Platform. You must install OpenNMS on a separate system.

After you integrate Junos Space Network Management Platform with OpenNMS:

• When you add or delete any device from Junos Space Network Management Platform, the device list gets updated to the OpenNMS database.

• You can set SNMP v3 OpenNMS IP trap target on devices managed by Space Network Management Platform.

1. Log in to the CLI of the Junos Space node on which the VIP or the eth0:0 interface is configured.

   The Junos Space Settings Menu is displayed.

2. Enter 7 at the Junos Space Network Management Platform settings menu prompt to run shell commands.

   The following is a sample output:

   You are prompted to enter the administrator password.

3. Enter the administrator password.

4. Integrate OpenNMS server through Junos Space Network Management Platform by running sh /var/www/cgi-bin/OpenNMS_Setup.sh command on the JBoss VIP node.

   The following is a sample output on a cluster environment:

   start to configure OpenNMS in current server

   • Provide the host and credential details for OpenNMS as per your setup.

     Note:

     • The OpenNMS host NameServer returns the information in the nslookup command output.

     • The DNS of OpenNMS must be same as the CN entry in point 1.

     The following is a sample output:

     content_copy zoom_out_map

     Enter IP of OpenNMS host [Mandatory]: 10.204.250.150
     Enter DNS of OpenNMS [Mandatory] : your-hostname-example.net

     Enter Port for HTTPS access [8443]: 8443
     Enter User name of the OpenNMS admin user [admin]: admin

   • To enable throttling of sync to OpenNMS:

     Note:

     When throttling is enabled, sync between the Junos Space Network Management Platform and the OpenNMS happens every hour.

     It is recommended to have throttling enabled, but it is mandatory when Junos Space Network Management Platform manages more than 1000 devices.

     The following is a sample output:

     content_copy zoom_out_map

     Do you want to enable throttling of sync to OpenNMS (Recommended for very high device count) ? (y/n):y
     Configuring and checking connectivity to OpenNMS.Please wait....
     
     Credentials are valid.

5. If you select Y for JBoss restart, services stops and restarts on all the nodes.

   After completion, you can log in to the Junos Space Network Management Platform GUI and use Network Monitoring.

   Junos Space Network Management Platform provides an option to redirect to OpenNMS application on the Network Monitoring window.

6. If you select N, you must manually restart JBoss on all the nodes before using Network Monitoring.
