This Week in OpenNMS: You are now free to move about the cabin

by bcampbel: August 23, 2010

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS… though I must admit, it’s awfully tempting to grab a couple of beers, activate the emergency slide and drive straight home.

Project Updates

• 1.8: Current Release is 1.8.3-1
  1.8.3-1 is the current stable release, tagged 12 August 2010. For a complete list of changes and updates, see the “New and Noteworthy” page on the OpenNMS wiki. As always, it is recommended that you back up your database before upgrading.
• On the Linkd config issue: Between OpenNMS 1.8.1 and 1.8.2, a new, mandatory element was added to the Linkd configuration file.  We try never to let this happen between stable releases, but this one snuck in.  We’ll fix the code to make the new element optional ahead of the next scheduled stable release (1.8.4), but in the meantime users upgrading from a pre-1.8.2 release to either 1.8.2 or 1.8.3 need to be sure to incorporate the <iproute> element from the version of linkd-configuration.xml that comes with the newer release.  If you’re using the official Debian or RPM packages and haven’t modified this file on your system, you won’t need to take any action.  Here is a link to the pristine 1.8.2 / 1.8.3 version of this file for use as a reference by those who have local changes: http://ur1.ca/15m5o
• We continue to lay the groundwork for IPv6 support in OpenNMS.
• Work continues on the iPhone/iPad app, which we expect to move into testing shortly.

Bugs Fixed Since Last TWiO

• #1225: Performance in the outage editor has been improved.
• #4034: The “move up” and “move down” buttons in group modification were broken.
• #4045: Fixed problem where remote polling was creating excessively verbose event logging.

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 personal emergency escape plan that you’d like to share, don’t hesitate to say hi.
