Daemons

The Horizon service is composed of several daemon "sub-services" that each perform a specific set of tasks. You can enable and disable them via ${OPENNMS_HOME}/etc/service-configuration.xml.

See Daemon Configuration Files section for details on sending daemon reload commands.

List of daemons

Name	Description
Ackd	The acknowledge daemon is responsible for alarm acknowledgement.
Actiond	Generates Java actions based on received events.
Alarmd	Handles alarm workflows.
AsteriskGateway	Communicates with an Asterisk server for VOIP notification.
Bsmd	Processes updates of Business Service Monitoring availability.
Collectd	Collects data from nodes to persist performance metrics over time.
Correlator	Associates multiple related events.
Discovery	Provides network discovery functions to scan (either one time only or regularly) for nodes that should be added into the Horizon database.
Enlinkd	Discovers connections between nodes using data generated by various link discovery protocols.
EventTranslator	The event translator can transform and enhance the data from Horizon events that other daemons generate.
Eventd	Receives and writes event information.
JettyServer	The Jetty server provides the Horizon web user interface.
Karaf	The Karaf runtime is the framework that maintains all the other daemons running within the Horizon system.
KarafStartupMonitor	Used in startup script to detect if Karaf started properly.
Notifd	Sends notifications to other systems based on event UEIs.
PassiveStatusd	The Passive Status Keeper provides a mechanism to generate service outages based on events. This can be helpful for devices that cannot be directly polled to check service state.
PerspectivePoller	Handles Application Perspective Monitoring availability calculations.
Pollerd	Responsible for service availability monitoring.
Provisiond	Handles the node import and service detection processes.
Queued	Handles scheduling of tasks to run in the future.
Reportd	Generates and schedules reports.
Rtcd	Handles uptime percentage calculations.
Scriptd	Lets you configure Bean Shell script to run in response to events.
SnmpPoller	Checks SNMP interface admin status. It is separate from pollerd’s SnmpMonitor.
Statsd	Generates statistical reports from node data.
Syslogd	Allows retrieval and parsing of syslog messages to generate events.
Telemetryd	Collects sensor data sent from nodes to Horizon.
Ticketer	Enables Horizon to create trouble tickets in external systems.
Tl1d	Enables reception of TL1 autonomous messages.
Trapd	Provides an SNMP server that accepts SNMP traps that can be converted to events.
Vacuumd	Runs daily cleanup tasks for the PostgreSQL database.
