This Week in OpenNMS: May 16th, 2016

      It's time for This Week in OpenNMS!

In the last week we worked on ActiveMQ, Camel, Karaf, Minion, Topology
Maps, BSM, Newts, graphs, database access, Bamboo, and Compass.



      Github Project Updates

  * *ActiveMQ, Camel, and Karaf Updates*

    Seth has been working on updating our ActiveMQ, Camel, and Karaf
    infrastructure, to resolve a number of bugs found in testing.

  * *Minion*

    Chandra has been working on improving the minion code that
    communicates with OpenNMS. Also, I continued work on associating
    nodes with locations for future minion support.

  * *Topology Maps and Business Service Monitor*

    Markus, Dustin, and Jesse have also continued to work on Project
    Atlas, with the goal of improving navigation through support of
    topology layers, and support for moving node map functionality to
    the topology UI. Jesse also did some work on BSM data in events.

  * *Newts*

    Jesse created a Newts 1.3.6 release with a driver update to
    Cassandra 3.0.1 as well as support for setting the replication
    factor when initializing a schema. The download will be available
    soon. Newts support in OpenNMS has also been updated to take
    advantage of these changes and to provide better data on ring buffer
    usage.

  * *Graphs*

    Jesse added support for trending/forecasting in Backshift graphs,
    and integrated it into OpenNMS. He also switched NRTG graphs to use
    Backshift, and added a control for opening an individual graph in a
    separate window.

  * *Database Access*

    Alejandro did some work evaluating updated database code (JDBC
    drivers and C3P0 pooling).

  * *Bamboo Updates*

    We’ve been spending a lot of time trying to clean up our continuous
    integration environment. That work is still ongoing… ;)

  * *Compass 3.0.1*

    I released a small update to Compass with a few tiny cosmetic fixes
    and features. As always, you can download the latest version from
    the Google Play or Apple App Stores.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
