I agree, that wasn't a very good description of the package. Sorry.
How about this one?
OpenNMS is a highly-customizable network management platform. It
provides three main functional areas:
* Service Polling: the system monitors services on the network and
reports on their "service level".
* Performance: data is collected from the remote systems via SNMP in
order to measure the performance of the network.
* Event Management and Notifications: OpenNMS includes a robust
notification system, including escalations, that can be generated by
network events.
