This Week in OpenNMS: GWT Goes to 11

by Benjamin Reed: December 21, 2010

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS. In the last few weeks we worked on reporting, IPv6, system feedback, JICMP, and surveillance views.

Project Updates

• 1.8: Current Release is 1.8.7 (Chuck-will’s-widow)
  1.8.7 is the current stable release, tagged 8 December 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.
• Donald, Jonathan, and Ronny did more work on reports, including support for parameters in the UI.
• Donald and Ben updated the GWT code to be twice as fast, using a complicated development technique called, “updating the GWT dependencies from 2.0 to 2.1.”
• Seth did a bunch more work on IPv6, and is approaching a point where we can attempt some integration-level tests.
• Ben wrapped up adding a web UI for the system report tool, as well as the ability to open OpenNMS support tickets from the UI.
• Matt has been working on rewriting JICMP to use JNA, which will get rid of a lot of platform-specific issues doing ICMP (especially Windows).
• Matt completely rewrote the queries used in surveillance views, resulting in massive performance improvements with large datasets.

Issues Fixed

• [NMS-4305] – “View Node Ip Route Info” link causes exception
• [NMS-4306] – Topo map error popup: Load Label Map failed
• [NMS-4307] – make it easier to open support tickets from the web UI
• [NMS-4310] – duplicate jars in packages
• [NMS-4315] – Serial Interface Utilization Report
• [NMS-4321] – PSQLException – Configure SNMP Data Collection per Interface

Upcoming Events

• January 11th: Tarus Balog will be presenting an overview of OpenNMS at ATLNSMTUG in Atlanta, GA.

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 or criticism that you’d like to share, don’t hesitate to say hi.
