This Week in OpenNMS: July 18th, 2016

      It's time for This Week in OpenNMS!

In the last week we worked on VMware monitoring, minion, packaging and
startup, topology maps and BSM, node and remote poller maps, and
documentation.



      Github Project Updates

  * *VMware Monitor*

    Christian fixed the VMware monitor against VMware vSphere 6.

  * *Minion*

    Chandra did more work on the Minion code, including blueprints for
    starting trapd with Kafka and more detector work. Jesse has been
    working on making Provisiond capable of remotely executing SNMP
    requests on a minion where appropriate.

  * *Packaging and Startup*

    Seth and I merged some changes to make it possible to have smaller
    installs by splitting out the source and remote poller code from the
    webapp, for people who don’t need them. I also changed the default
    startup scripts to not wait for startup (default START_TIMEOUT is
    now 0), and add support for a STOP_TIMEOUT for verifying when
    OpenNMS has shut down. Also, the bug with ulimit being set very low
    in restricted environments is now fixed.

  * *Topology Maps and Business Service Monitor*

    Markus and Jesse spent some time working on fixing jitter issues in
    the topology UI, and other bug fixes. Dustin added support for
    backshift graphing in the topology custom info panel.

  * *Node and Remote Poller Maps*

    Markus and I worked on fixing our OpenLayers-based maps to support a
    configurable tile server, as well as changing the default now that
    MapQuest is no longer supporting raw access to their OpenStreetMap
    tile servers.

  * *Documentation
    *

    Cyrille did some work on improving the ReST API documentation.
