We're in the middle of a project with a customer to replace StatSeeker
with OpenNMS. That's a very realistic goal now that Cassandra is an
option for our time-series metric storage.
StatSeeker can definitely get expensive, but I can't speak to ease of
setup or operation.

Glad to hear we got the job done. I'm the first to admit that custom
graph configuration in OpenNMS itself is still pretty crap (it amounts
to editing RRDTool graph definitions).
That's a big part of why we now have a Grafana data source plugin:

I'm the person responsible for making the support experience far above
"decent". I'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can improve; please
contact me off-list if you have the time and inclination.
