This Week in OpenNMS: Keepin’ On Keepin’ On

by Benjamin Reed: April 13, 2010

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS. This week was a bit quiet. We did more bug fixing, cleaned up some build system issues, did more work on the map code, and merged a few other handy features.

Project Updates

• Stable: Current Release is 1.6.7
  1.6.7 is the current stable release, tagged October 5th. It adds a few small features. For a full list, see the bugzilla 1.6.7 milestone. This is a non-critical but recommended upgrade for anyone on OpenNMS versions older than 1.6.7.
• Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.7
  1.7.7 is the current unstable release, tagged October 5th. Since 1.7.6, there have been a ton of bugfixes, as well as a number of new features, including the DNS provisioning adapter, mobile sequence monitor, and the map adapter. A 1.7.x overview is available in the release notes on the site.
• Unstable: Map and Link Updates
  Antonio and Donald have been doing more work on the map code, fixing bugs and adding a bit more polish.
• Unstable: Transitioning to a DVCS
  I’ve solved most of my issues on doing some interesting rewriting of history to finish up the Git merge, and will hopefully be wrapping up the project soon. Next up: documentation. =)
• Unstable: New Plugins
  I finally had a chance to merge a couple of spiffy new plugins that Jason Aras added and that people have been interested in for a while:
  • JDBC query monitor: This differs from our existing JDBC polling code in that you can run arbitrary SQL and perform some form of operation on it.
  • BSF monitor: This allows you to create your own monitors using any language that the Bean Scripting Framework supports.

Upcoming Events

• January 25th-29th, 2010: OpenNMS training will be available through The OpenNMS Group at the OpenNMS training facility in Pittsboro, NC.
• February 19th-21st, 2010: OpenNMS will be attending the Southern California Linux Expo.

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 extra monitors you’d like to share, don’t hesitiate to say hi.
