At my job, we're using two primary tools for network monitoring - Hobbit
and OpenNMS.  Hobbit is primarily for system monitoring, and OpenNMS for
network monitoring. 
You mean for SNMP polling?

If I put enough work into OpenNMS, it would be able to replace Hobbit
and leave it in the dust, but I don't have any reason to spend the time.
What features specifically would you use from OpenNMS (and aren't available 
with Hobbit+devmon?).

(I haven't gotten around to trying OpenNMS, though I have been meaning to for 
some time - probably spent most of that time on improving devmon).
