This Week in OpenNMS: The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly on the… Map?

by Benjamin Reed: July 6, 2010

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS. In the last week, we did some more work in preparation for 1.8.1, SNMPv3 fixes, and remote poller map updates. I’ll be headed to Girona, Spain for State of the Map to talk about how we implemented mapping in the remote poller maps. If you’ll be around, let me know.

Project Updates

• 1.8: Current Release is 1.8.0
  1.8.0 is the current stable release, tagged June 7th. The first major stable release in the 1.8 series, it adds a whole slew of new features compared to 1.6. For a high-level overview, see the “New and Noteworthy” page on the OpenNMS wiki. While we consider this release to be stable, a ton has changed. It is recommended that you back up your database, and test an upgrade on non-production hardware before moving to 1.8 in production.
• 1.8: SNMPv3 Fixes
  Seth has been working on updating our SNMP code to deal with the latest SNMP4J and fix some issues with SNMPv3 eventually failing.
• 1.8: Remote Poller Map Refactoring
  Matt finished up our major refactoring of the remote poller maps. It is now orders of magnitude faster, loading large (2800-poller) datasets in only a few seconds, rather than 20 or 30.
• 1.8: Remote Poller Map Updates
  The remote poller maps have been updated to explicitly show DISCONNECTED and STOPPED locations differently. Additionally, the boxes for selecting which status types are shown has been moved to the top, and UNKNOWN (never reported in) locations are no longer shown by default.
