This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.6, Episode 6

It's time for another This Week in OpenNMS. I will be skipping next
week's, as I'll be too busy sunning myself in the caribbean and hanging
out with a bunch of rockin' bands on Ships and Dip V. Ahhhhh....

Project Updates
---------------

- Stable: Current Release is 1.6.2

1.6.2 seems to be holding up nicely, although there have been some
reports of issues with JMX thresholding that need to be investigated
more deeply still. If you're having issues and can add some details to
bug #2512, it would be appreciated:

  http://bugzilla.opennms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2512

- Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.0

Trunk is still moving crazy fast, so hopefully we'll be getting another
1.7 release out there soon when a few things settle down, so people can
help test. In the meantime, feel free to try the nightly snapshots (if
it's not on a production system, of course).

- Trunk: Acknowledgement Daemon

Dave continues to make progress on Ackd in between crazy days at the
TeleManagement Forum's Team Action Week (more on that later). Hopefully
it will be ready for folks to test it out in the next few weeks.

- Trunk: Inventory Daemon

Fresh off the heady high of getting WMI support in trunk, Matt Raykowski
has started work on on inventory daemon, which intends to provide a more
flexible interface to systems asset and inventory information than our
current (anemic) asset system.

- Trunk: Provisiond

Provisiond continues to progress towards something usable. Matt's been
working on finishing the scanning code, and Matt and I both have spent
some time this week making an optimized SNMP table tracker which will
let us perform operations on collected SNMP data as it comes in, so
scans of nodes with large numbers of interfaces will happen in a more
timely manner.

I also finished up this week a RESTful API to the Provisiond importer,
which will let you edit and create model-import and foreign sources. The
web UI is next, and will use this API for creating provisiond's
configuration.

- Trunk: RANCID Support

Guglielmo continues to flesh out the RANCID API. Work has begun on the
OpenNMS web UI side of the implementation, and small changes are still
being made to the RANCID java bindings.

- Trunk: Node Page Updates

Donald continued his work on making the node page more dynamic.

TeleManagement Forum's Team Action Week
---------------------------------------

OpenNMS, represented by OGP members Craig Gallen and David Hustace, is
participating this week at the TeleManagment Forum's (TMF) Team Action
Week (TAW) in Lisbon.

Craig is leading the TMF Interface Program (TIP) Reference
Implementation (RI) team and we will be creating open source
implementations of TIP interfaces starting with Service Problem
Management (SPM).

The artifacts created by the reference implementation team will be
libraries that can be used to develop NGOSS-compliant components in
service provider applications. OpenNMS has committed to working on the
Service Problem Management (SPM) interface (Alarms), Inventory,
Performance Management, and Trouble Ticket implementations. For more
information see the interface program page on TMF's web site:
