SASL Failure with jabber-net

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 14:42:02 -0500

XMPP Notification From OpenNMS

Sat, 7 Jan 2006 23:31:03 -0500

OpenNMS is a sophisticated and feature rich enterprise ready network monitoring solution (NMS). OpenNMS will monitor your systems via SNMP for performance information as well as availability by performing actual service requests such as HTTP requests. One of the most important features of any NMS is the ability to notify administrators when something has gone wrong either by e-mail, page, or some other means. OpenNMS supports a variety of notification methods (and you can add your own), and since version 1.2.1 this includes XMPP (aka "Jabber").
