This Week in OpenNMS: October 1st, 2018

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS!

Last week we fixed the Android Compass crash, did more work on OpenNMS
proxy, daemon, link, and collection infrastructure, and fixed a number
of issues with the OpenNMS Docker images. We also worked on a number of
web UI improvements.

    *Internals, APIs, and Documentation*

      o Sebastian fixed the daemon tools to always produce success and
        failure events.
      o Dustin continued his work on single-port flow support.
      o Chandra fixed the |collections:collect| command to support
        setting the TTL on minions.
      o David worked on documentation for the new situation feedback UI.
      o Patrick did more work on unified HTTP proxy support for monitors
        and such.
      o Christian did some work on getting OpenNMS builds working with
        newer JDKs.
      o Jan Papež fixed a bug in our Docker container image, where the
        database name was not properly configured if your database
        wasn't called |opennms|. Images for 22.0.4 and higher should
        contain the fix.
      o |opennms-plugin-protocol-cifs| was added to the default Docker
        image in 22.0.4 and higher.
  *

    *Web & UI*

      o Patrick worked on fixing the "change icon" feature in the
        topology UI.
      o For users with sufficient rights, Christian added support for
        linking from the node page to the relevant requisition editor page.
      o Antonio worked on refactoring Enlinkd and topology code.


    <#compass-321>Compass 3.2.1

OpenNMS Compass, the OpenNMS mobile app, was updated to version 3.2.1
<https://compass.opennms.io/>. This version fixes the crash-on-launch
bug when running on Android 8 (Oreo) and higher, as well as adding
support for setting a timeout for slow connections or OpenNMS servers.
