RuggedNMS™
Network Management Software
RuggedNMS™ is fully-featured enterprise grade network
management
software based on the OpenNMS platform.
Specifically for the rugged communications industry,
RuggedNMS™ provides a comprehensive platform for
monitoring, configuring, and maintaining mission-critical
IP-based communications networks, such as those found in
substation automation and “Smart Grids” for electric utilities,
intelligent transportation systems, and advanced control and
automation for industrial processes.
RuggedNMS™ Features:
Product Features:
.. Centralized management and monitoring of network and
networked devices to achieve desired level of network
availability performance and operational efficiency
.. Greater network visibility to enable proactive corrective actions
and improved capacity utilization
.. Web based UI with graphical network view
.. Configurable auto discovery and polling subsystem
.. Rich set of pre-packaged reports
.. Event handling via polling and SNMP trap support
..I nterfaces for equipment configuration via external applications
such as Web Browser and TELNET
.. Supporting the use of SNMP v1, v2c and v3 (SNMP Security)
Web Based User Interface
.. Customizable Dashboard per customer requirements
.. Easy navigation to events and nodes with issues
.. View and edit Asset information
.. Multiple report selections
.. Administration and configuration of many parts of RuggedNMS™
Automated Network Discovery
.. Discovers all the devices on a network or devices in a selected
range of IP addresses through ICMP pings
.. Once a device is discovered RuggedNMS will start polling the
discovered devices on a configurable time basis
.. Discovers and displays links; active, down and blocked
.. Uses LLDP information to quickly map network links.
Polling
.. The polling sub-system is used to monitor all
discovered devices
.. Through the use of device polling, SNMP MIB data will be
captured, stored in a database and presented in reports
..I f communications to a device is lost the polling sub-system will
intelligently attempt to re-establish communications
Scalable, Distributed Architecture
.. Real-time monitoring and calculation of availability of services
such as SNMP, SSH, Telnet and HTTP
.. Provides clear and concise view of services right from the
main screen and on each node screen
Monitor and Report Interface Statistics
.. The NMS pollers can be centrally or remotely deployed
to reduce network traffic
.. The central data retention and reporting system is able to
communicate with multiple pollers
.. The Web interface and database can be deployed
on different machines
Events
.. Tiered event Notification (Critical, Major, Minor, Warning,
Indeterminate, Normal, Cleared)
.. Notifications based on any event (nodeUp/nodeDown,
service Up/serviceDown, SNMP traps, thresholds, etc.)
can be generated
.. Display the events currently in the database via the web-based
User Inter face
.. Notifications can be sent via email, pager, custom programs or
shell scripts, XMPP (Jabber instant messaging), SNMP traps,
HTTP or XML-RPC requests, and user-defined notification
methods can be written in Java.
Reports
.. View pre-defined graphs of the various data obtained
by the RuggedNMS™ Data Collection features (including
Response Times)
.. Create ad-hoc graphs on arbitrary collected data values
using a simple web-gui
.. Reports in a graphical format can be generated on the fly
.. Historical information will be included in the reports for
comparison and decision making purposes
Monitor Availability
..Quick detection of network failures at the port and device levels
