This Week in OpenNMS: March 14th, 2016

      It’s Time for This Week in OpenNMS!

In the last week we released a new stable version, worked on the
Business Service Monitor, Minion, Compass, Enlinkd, ReST APIs,
Requisitions UI, and the Smoke Test rework.


        OpenNMS Horizon (Glenmorangie) 17.1.1 Released

OpenNMS Horizon 17.1.1 — codenamed Glenmorangie — was released last
week. It was a maintenance/stable release containing a few bug fixes and
updates.

For a complete list of changes, see The 17.1.1 release notes:

        Github Project Updates

  * Business Service Monitor

    The BSM is getting closer to release, with work being done on
    look-and-feel (icons), bug fixes, and smaller feature work.

  * Minion

    Good progress is being made on supporting syslog and traps in the
    minion, as well as packaging updates and support for running in Karaf 4.

  * Compass

    Compass 2.1 has been picked up again for active development, and is
    currently being cleaned up and readied for another round of beta
    testing. 2.1’s main features over 2.0 are support for multiple
    OpenNMS servers, and graphing (using the Measurements API on Horizon
    15 and up).

  * Enlinkd

    Antonio has been working heavily on cleaning up Enlinkd bugs and
    fixing performance issues. His changes are expected to drop in
    OpenNMS Horizon 18’s codebase in the develop branch soon.

  * Smoke Tests

    Over the last month, I spent a considerable amount of time rewriting
    our Selenium-based smoke tests in CasperJS. This gives us more
    flexibility in testing the OpenNMS UI, and fixes some long-standing
    timing/flapping issues we had with the old smoke tests.

  * ReST API

    Alejandro has been completely reworking the ReST API to avoid some
    mistakes introduced into the APIs when we made them — most
    specifically, POSTs returning a 303 redirect which causes clients to
    make a subsequent request. The current state of the ReST API
    requires many workarounds in our browser-based ReST calls, and makes
    some features impossible. This cleanup will go into OpenNMS Horizon 18.

  * Requisitions UI

    Alejandro has been working on cleaning up and improving the
    Requisitions AngularJS UI. Some major refactoring has been going on,
    but it is going on hold for a bit until the ReST work is finished.
