This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.8, Episode 16: Now with even cooler wallpaper

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS.

(We don’t have OGP member Ronny Trommer’s presentation slides available yet – a number of you have asked, and we’ll link to them as soon as they’re posted – but isn’t this one of the coolest desktop/wallpaper graphics you’ve seen in a long time?)

Project Updates

1.8: Current Release is 1.8.4
1.8.4 is the current stable release, tagged 13 September 2010. For a complete list of changes and updates, see the “New and Noteworthy” page on the OpenNMS wiki. As always, it is recommended that you back up your database before upgrading.
We’re adding support for improved time management for remote pollers; soon, they won’t care whether local time is set correctly.  When this feature is complete, it will require remote pollers to be upgraded.
Our code-spelunking trip through KSC reports is complete. If you have issues related to KSC reports, significant changes and fixes have been incorporated into 1.8.5, scheduled for release this week. many of these changes have already been committed, so please try a recent snapshot.
This week’s bug-hunting adventure: linkd, pursuant to chasing down the trailing issues from bug 3969.  We’ll be adding some related new unit tests, too.
Other Updates

Many OpenNMS users had reported a problem with Net-SNMP 5.5, in which the “sysObjectID” MIB object was passing incorrect, truncated values. OpenNMS Group Senior Consultant (and OGP member) Jeff Gehlbach filed a bug report and proposed patch against the Net-SNMP agent in Fedora 13 / 14 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 to make systems running these distributions usable with OpenNMS (and other SNMP management applications) without having to resort to a distasteful workaround.  The Fedora report is now in QA and an update is available in the “updates-testing” repositories for Fedora 13 and 14.  Links are in the Fedora bug report history here.
Bugs Fixed Since Last TWiO

#3989 – Fixed an issue where linkd would generate errors when a vlan did not have a specified name
#4051 – IpCidrRouteTable was crashing on Ubuntu 10.04; this fix ties in with #3989
#4146 – Web interface produced errors when there was an invalid IP address in the ipinterface table
#3990 – Fixed an error with dropdowns in the KSC reports.
#4133 – Corrected linkd behavior following link to unknown nodes
#4149 – Fixed Web interface error viewing node bridge/STIP info results
Upcoming Events

We’re going to be scheduling at least one training week in Europe before the end of 2010.  If you’d be interested in attending a European training course, drop us a line.
If you have anything to add to the events list, please let me know.
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 or criticism that you’d like to share, don’t hesitate to say hi.
