edit capsd-configuration.xml for the service your want to monitor

your can finish here if u do not want to enable snmp & notification.


Enable SNMP in a server that you want to monitor. Then...

edit datacollection-config.xml to enable more monitoring graph in opennms.

edit the snmp-config.xml to track servers with snmp

snmp-config.xml
