Quick disclaimer I am a long time user and contributor to OpenNMS. I would post your questions to the OpenNMS discuss list there are many ways to tackle your requirements. Some using SNMP, some with other solutions. You'll find that the OpenNMS community is very very resourceful.

OpenNMS beat out the established players of Hewlett-Packard's OpenView and IBM's Tivoli. This was based on a user survey of all IT solutions, not just open source; it demonstrates that open source software is indeed making inroads into the enterprise.
