I have to rebuild a new Nagios box and thought this might be a good time
to migrate away. I use snmp mostly for everything but with the fork Nagios
endured I wonder about putting any more effort into the project.
I probably should look at OpenNMS again, but the other options I think might
work are
I'd try Zenoss. I wrote a big paper comparing Nagios, OpenNMS and
Zenoss (
http://www.skills-1st.co.uk/papers/jane/open_source_mgmt_options.html )
- it's nearly 2 years back now but many of the basics are the same.
At that time, I plumped for Zenoss but, to be fair, my main negative on
OpenNMS

Try Zabbix.
It is very responsive. in forums, mailing lists, bugzilla, etc.
Important: try trunk

We recently moved a 150 node network from cacti / nagios / monit to
Zabbix; Its been an exceptional mixed bag. The API is extremely basic,

The other problem with Zenos is that its extremely slow, regularly fails
to guarantee schedules and needs lots of resources.
I'm a firm believer in

The forums are nearly dead, doesn't look like much of the Nagios
folk jumped ship yet. Archives show next to no activity.

to put any effort into a significant improvement like Zenoss or O
