Back to my first email message when I thought you were already using
OpenNMS... You have to uncomment the Linkd service in
etc/service-configuration.xml, then restart opennms and give it some
time to probe. Then it should show from the 'View Node Link Detailed
Info' at the top left of a node page. The weakest part of the program
is the web admin section. While it does a lot, there is much more that
you can control via the xml config files.
