This Week in OpenNMS: Seaso n 1.8, Episode 4: The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly o n the… Map?

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS <http://www.opennms.org>. In the last
week, we did some more work in preparation for 1.8.1, SNMPv3 fixes, and
remote poller map updates. I’ll be headed to Girona, Spain for State of
the Map <http://stateofthemap.org/> to talk about how we implemented
mapping in the remote poller maps. If you’ll be around, let me know
<mailto:[email protected]>.


  Project Updates

    * *1.8: Current Release is 1.8.0*
      1.8.0 is the current stable release, tagged June 7th. The first
      major stable release in the 1.8 series, it adds a whole slew of
      new features compared to 1.6. For a high-level overview, see the
      “New and Noteworthy” page on the OpenNMS wiki
      <http://www.opennms.org/wiki/New_and_noteworthy#New_in_OpenNMS_1.8>.
      While we consider this release to be stable, a ton has changed. It
      is recommended that you back up your database, and test an upgrade
      on non-production hardware before moving to 1.8 in production.
    * *1.8: SNMPv3 Fixes*
      Seth has been working on updating our SNMP code to deal with the
      latest SNMP4J and fix some issues with SNMPv3 eventually failing.
    * *1.8: Remote Poller Map Refactoring*
      Matt finished up our major refactoring of the remote poller maps.
      It is now orders of magnitude faster, loading large (2800-poller)
      datasets in only a few seconds, rather than 20 or 30.
    * *1.8: Remote Poller Map Updates*
      The remote poller maps have been updated to explicitly show
      DISCONNECTED and STOPPED locations differently. Additionally, the
      boxes for selecting which status types are shown has been moved to
      the top, and UNKNOWN (never reported in) locations are no longer
      shown by default.
