This Week in OpenNMS: March 28th, 2016

      It’s Time for This Week in OpenNMS!

In the last week we worked on Compass, smoke tests, BSM, requisitions,
usage statistics, Enlinkd, Karaf integration tests, and Ansible.


      Github Project Updates

  * Compass

    Compass 2.1.0 beta, build 396 was released last week. If you wish to
    join the beta test, see the Compass web site:
    https://compass.opennms.io/#beta

  * Smoke Tests

    We’re still having issues with our CasperJS/PhantomJS tests, so I’ve
    been working on putting the Selenium tests back. Our original reason
    for switching was how brittle Selenium gets with Firefox updates. I
    have since spent some time into making sure our Bamboo CI machines
    are pinned to a specific Firefox version and that they have
    auto-update disabled, so this will hopefully fix most of the
    intermittent issues we had with Selenium testing in the first place.
    Fingers crossed…

  * Business Service Monitor

    Markus, Christian, Dustin, and Jesse have been continuing work on
    polishing up the BSM codebase and doing more work on related
    performance and features, including adding a lot of useful data to
    the “info pane” on the left side of the topology UI. Jesse has also
    been working on adding a “simulator” to the BSM so you can test out
    workflows. We also spent some time thinking about color blindness in
    the UI and how to better represent alarms in the topology UI for
    color-blind users.

  * Requisitions UI

    Alejandro’s requisition improvements went feature-complete last week
    and have been merged into foundation-2016 for inclusion in OpenNMS
    Horizon 18 and Meridian 2016.

  * Usage Statistics

    To get a better idea of how to estimate hardware requirements and
    the performance characteristics of OpenNMS, Jesse has written an
    opt-in tool to occasionally submit diagnostic information about your
    OpenNMS install. It will submit information like the number of
    nodes, alarms, etc. as well as some basic system information to our
    servers for statistical reasons.

    Some of these statistics are visualized on stats.opennms.org
    <https://stats.opennms.org/>.

    You can opt-out by clicking “opt-out” the first time you log into
    the OpenNMS web UI, or proactively by setting enabled=false in
    $OPENNMS_HOME/etc/org.opennms.features.datachoices.cfg. For more
    details, see the “Data Choices” section of the admin guide:
    https://docs.opennms.org/opennms/branches/develop/guide-admin/guide-admin.html#ga-admin-datachoices

  * Enlinkd

    Antonio has continued to work on Enlinkd bugs and fixing performance
    issues, due in OpenNMS Horizon 18’s codebase in the develop branch soon.

  * Karaf Tests

    Seth has been working on resurrecting his work to test the
    full-stack of our OSGi modules with Karaf integration tests using
    Pax Exam.

  * Ansible

    Jeff and Devyn have been working on a number of Ansible roles and
    modules related to OpenNMS, automating tasks like installation of
    OpenNMS and interacting with OpenNMS via ReST. These will be
    published in the appropriate places when they’re ready. :)

      Until Next Week…

If there’s anything you’d like me to talk about in a future TWiO, or you
just have a comment or criticism you’d like to share, don’t hesitate to
say hi.
