Glad to see that you were able to accomplish the OpenNMS integration with ease. If you grab one of our nightly trunk snapshots, you'll find there's a RESTful API (not yet complete but still quite useful) that allows you to get stuff without going to our database or having a presence inside the VM where we're running. There's some developer-level documentation on the API, which will be in the 1.8 release, on our wiki.

Hi Jeff,

REST API sounds great! I remember reading about the plans in DevJam posts but didn't realize that there was already progress there. As I mentioned, we aimed to come up with the first version of the integration as a tool to investigate what can be done, what makes sense, what doesn't etc. and get some feedback. Once we learn more about what (and if) people want from an integration, it certainly makes sense to use the API instead as much as possible. Thanks!
