This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.8, Episode 6: We Be (Dev) Jammin'

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS <http://www.opennms.org>. In the last
week, we released 1.8.1, among other things.


  Project Updates

    * *1.8: Current Release is 1.8.1*
      1.8.1 is the current stable release, tagged July 12th. The second
      stable release in the 1.8 series, it adds a ton of bugfixes and a
      number of enhancements since 1.8.0. For a complete list, see the
      "New and Noteworthy" page on the OpenNMS wiki. As always, it is
      recommended that you back up your database before upgrading.
    * *1.8: Windows Installation Fixes*
      More work on WIndows installation has been going on this week,
      with an overhauled launcher setup which works properly on 32- or
      64-bit Windows, as well as a possible fix for the installation of
      PL/PgSQL on systems that don't have it enabled in their template1
      databases by default.
    * *1.8: Remote Poller Updates*
      When the remote poller fires events, it now includes the location
      monitor ID, so alarms can be processed based on the monitor
      reporting issues. Also, Philip updated the legend on the
      Distributed Status page to better reflect the various statuses
      shown. A few other UI bugs were fixed as well.
    * *1.8: Instrumentation Log Reader*
      Philip wrote a handy tool for debugging collection issues called
      the Instrumentation Log Reader. It's in the opennms-tools/
      directory of the OpenNMS source (as of what will be 1.8.2), and
      allows you to analyze your collectd.log to get statistics on how
      long collections take for various services. You can see a sample
      output in the source tree here
      <http://opennms.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=opennms/opennms;a=blob;f=opennms-tools/instrumentationLogReader/TestLogFile.out;h=HEAD;hb=HEAD>.
    * *1.8: SNMP Asset Adapter*
      Seth has been working on a Provisiond adapter for pulling SNMP
      data into asset records. He's still working on documentation, so I
      don't have a ton of details, I'll try to give a pointer to it next
      week. =)


  Bugs Fixed Since Last TWiO

    * #3836 <http://bugzilla.opennms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3836>: Unable
      to delete nodes with capsd disabled.


  Count Down to Dev-Jam 2010

Everyone is humming in anticipation with Dev-Jam 2010
<http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Dev-Jam_2010> just around the corner.
People will start arriving in Minnesota at the end of the week, and
we'll be kicking off the festivities with the ritual hazing initiation
welcoming our new OGP <http://www.opennms.org/wiki/OGP> members and
OpenNMS Group employees. We've got the monkeys, duct tape, leather
straps, pomade, pitchforks, and belt sander ready, so listen for the
screams of excitement about becoming part of the fold, you'll be able to
hear them wherever you're at!
Traditionally Dev-Jam is accompanied by a flurry of activity in the
OpenNMS codebase, so expect the next few weeks' TWiOs to be way cooler
than this one.


  Upcoming Events

    * July 21st, 2010: Tarus will be giving his "So, You Think You Want
      to Start an Open Source Business?" talk at OSCON
      <http://www.oscon.com/oscon2010/public/schedule/detail/13160>
    * July 26th-30th, 2010: OpenNMS Dev-Jam 2010
      <http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Dev-Jam_2010> will be held at the
      University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN

If you have anything to add to the events list, please let me know
<mailto:[email protected]>.


  Until Next Week...

As always, if there's anything you'd like me to talk about in a future
TWiO, or you just have a comment, criticism, or hazing rituals that
you'd like to share, don't hesitate to say hi <mailto:[email protected]>.
