Introduction
Welcome to OpenNMS. It is hoped that this page will help you get started. We welcome new people and there are a number of places to get help.
Please remember, however, that OpenNMS is an open-source project, driven by a community of developers volunteering their time. No one gets paid to help you get started with OpenNMS, so please act courteously to those on the mailing lists. In fact, now would be a good time to review how to ask questions.
OpenNMS is designed to be an enterprise-grade network management platform, and thus can take a little time to get up and running. Please read the available documentation, especially the installation guide.
Your best source of information lies in the various mailing lists for OpenNMS. The opennms-install list is very friendly to new users, and the opennms-discuss list is the main list for general OpenNMS questions. If you decide to use OpenNMS, the opennms-announce list is a low traffic list for announcements on new releases, etc.
This wiki is here for you to use, so please check out About Using This Wiki if you want to know more about making this web site, and the documentation, better.
