This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.6, Episode 54: At the User Conference

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS. In the last week, we spent more time
fixing bugs, working on maps, and working on Provisiond.


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

- Stable: Current Release is 1.6.10

1.6.10 is the current stable release, tagged March 9th.  It adds a few
small features and fixes a few bugs.  For a full list, see the bugzilla
1.6.10 milestone. This is a non-critical but recommended upgrade for
anyone on OpenNMS versions older than 1.6.10.

- Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.10

1.7.10 is the current unstable release, tagged March 9th.  Since 1.7.9,
there have been quite a few bug fixes, and a few new features, including
allowing the remote monitor to phone home over HTTP, pushing data
collection to a TCP daemon, and integration of the Jasper reporting
engine.  A full list of changes is in the release notes.

- Unstable: Remote Poller Maps

We’ve done a lot of wrapping up on the first round of remote poller map
work.  As of this morning, the remote poller maps are now merged into
master, and will be showing up in nightly snapshots by tomorrow.
Some details on what’s changed since the tech preview that went into the
snapshots a month or two ago:

  - moving the opennms-remote-monitor-ui webapp into the main webapp
  - complete Google Maps and Mapquest map implementations
  - modal interface, for showing location- or application-based data
  - support for geocoding monitoring-locations entries and storing
    them, at startup, using multiple APIs (Google, Mapquest, OSM)
  - pageable location list
  - and a whole lot more! (just 2 easy payments of $19.99)

- Unstable: Map Updates

Antonio did more work on the SVG map updates, including a few new minor
tweaks and some bug fixes.

- Stable/Unstable: Thresholding Updates

Alejandro, the OGP thresholding god, did more work on thresholding,
including some work on handling reloading of filter rules. The behavior
changes depending on a new property that can be set in
opennms.properties: org.opennms.thresholds.filtersReloadEnabled. For
details, see the bug:

- Unstable: Provisiond Updates

Matt has been doing more refactoring of provisiond in the process of
working on finishing the Capsd replacement work.
