This Week in OpenNMS: Hot enough for you?

by bcampbel: August 9, 2010

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS. We’re sweltering through a very warm and humid August in North Carolina, but it’s nothing compared to the record heat some of our friends in Europe and Asia are experiencing.  Wherever you are in the Northern Hemisphere, stay hydrated and keep cool!  (Those of you in the Southern Hemisphere should feel free to stay warm and drink hot chocolate, as required.)

Project Updates

• 1.8: Current Release is 1.8.1
  1.8.1 is the current stable release, tagged July 12th. The second stable release in the 1.8 series, it adds a ton of bugfixes and a number of enhancements since 1.8.0. For a complete list, see the “New and Noteworthy” page on the OpenNMS wiki. As always, it is recommended that you back up your database before upgrading.
• Enhancements to remote map poller logic: Enhanced the GUI for the remote poller maps and improved MapQuest integration support.
• Simplifying scheduled outages: We’re working on making it easier to set up scheduled outages in OpenNMS.
• Work continues on iPhone app: We should have an updated beta release for the iPhone app in the next few days.
• Improved Force10 Ethernet switch support: Identified a configuration workaround to enable OpenNMS to collect data from a problematic SNMP agent on Force10 Ethernet switches.  A working configuration for these devices will be included in a future release.

Bugs Fixed Since Last TWiO

• #4004: Fixed misspelling of a setting name in opennms.properties
• #4022: OnmsMonitoredServiceResource now uses the EventUtils calss to build the NodeGainedService event

Upcoming Events

• We’ll be heading to Ohio LinuxFest from September 10-12, 2010 in Columbus, OH.
• The next OpenNMS training classes are scheduled for the week of September 20, 2010 in Pittsboro, NC.  The basic class will be offered from September 20-22, and the advanced class, from September 23-24.
• If you have anything to add to the events list, please let me know.

Until Next Week…

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