This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.6, Episode 56: All Prepped Up with No Place to Release

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS. In the last week, we did more bug
fixing in map code, Provisiond work, and a few other things.  We expect
to be doing the 1.7.90 release candidate this coming week, if all goes well.


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: Provisiond Work Continues

Matt and Donald continued working on Provisiond, it now has basic
support for handling newSuspect events and provisioning null
(requisitionless) nodes, which was previously the purview of Capsd.
There’s still a bit of work to do on bugs and corner cases, but it looks
like it’s progressing well.

- Unstable: SVG Maps

Antonio did more feature and bug fix work on the SVG maps.

- Unstable: Remote Poller Maps

Donald and I continued work on the remote poller maps, fixing bugs and
tidying things up.  The remote poller now properly handles configuration
changes (including dynamically getting node/interface/service adds and
removes).

- Unstable: Logging Cleanups

Seth has been working on evaluating our current logging infrastructure
and looking at how we can update it to be cleaner and more useful.
