It's time for This Week in OpenNMS!

In the last week we did a lot of work improving recent feature additions including netflow and topology support, as well as UI refactors and other GUI improvements.

Github Project Updates

  • Internals, APIs, and Documentation
    • Markus and Dustin did some wrap-up work on the multi-protocol netflow support.
    • Jesse fixed a timing bug in Kafka alarm sync.
    • Chandra did more work on moving detectors and pollers to use the integration API.
    • Antonio and Markus continued work on the project to move topology data to a backend service.
    • Chandra added support for larger Kafka buffer sizes.
    • David fixed a bug where alarms can be correlated to multiple situations.
    • Markus did some work on the daemon reload refactor.
    • Matthew added support for parsing a number of additional syslog formats.
    • Jesse did more work on indexing alarms in Elasticsearch.
    • Dustin worked on adding Carbon support to Telemetryd.
    • Matthew worked on making it possible to use OCE directly in OpenNMS core without Kafka.
  • Web & UI
    • Sebastian worked on the Bootstrap 4 UI migration.
    • Markus did more work on the Vaadin 8 migration.
    • I added support for getting managed object data from alarms in opennms.js and displaying it in the alarm details in Helm.
    • Christian made a number of alarm/severity-related UI changes, including fixing pagination, bugs in the alarm details, and situation display on the front page.
    • Patrick continued his work improving the performance of the topology UI.
    • I worked on a couple of Helm bug fixes and enhancements, including honoring the "style with severity" setting in the alarm details page, and grouping a severity's "related alarms" in the alarm details page by node.
    • David did more work on a GraphML exporter for OCE data.
    • Brynjar Eide fixed drag & drop support in IE, Firefox, and Safari when editing column order in Helm.
    • Ronny added nicer favicons for the web UI.

Upcoming Events and Appearances

Until Next Week…

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