This release fixes Antora documentation versioning, and includes some minor dependency updates plus a bump to use TypeScript 5.0.

This is a code-identical release to 2.5.3, with some build cleanups under the covers.

This release contains only dependency updates and a very minor compile fix to make TypeScript happy.

This release updates a number of dependencies, notably Axios, which required a few small changes to the AxiosHTTP adapter.

Release 31.0.4

Release 31.0.4 introduces one breaking change (see below). It also brings a handful of containerization improvements, fixes several security vulnerabilities, upgrades many potentially vulnerable dependency libraries, fixes one bug in the BSM daemon, and fixes many non-security bugs.

Breaking changes

• The GpDetector and ScriptPolicy now require that their scripts be located beneath $OPENNMS_HOME and beneath $OPENNMS_HOME/etc/script-policies, respectively. If you are using either of these classes in your foreign-source definitions, please address this requirement before upgrading to this release.

Known issues

The following known issues impact Horizon 31.0.4; we expect all to be fixed in the next micro-version release:

• Regular users are unable to acknowledge or clear alarms from the geographical map’s integrated alarm browser. Until we identify a fix, it is possible to work around this problem by adding ROLE_REST to a user’s set of assigned roles. See NMS-15080 for details. Thanks to Ricardo Monteiro for bringing this problem to our attention.
• On systems where dual-write time series persisting is enabled, an intermittent startup problem may cause either a delay in data starting to be persisted, or a hard failure necessitating a restarting of the core. See NMS-15326 for details.
• The ALEC plugin currently cannot be successfully installed on a Sentinel node. At release time, it is unclear whether the problem lies in Sentinel or in ALEC. Some details are captured in NMS-15396.

Shout-outs and errata

• Thanks to researcher Baharuddin Zulkifli of NetbyteSEC for reporting several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
• Thanks to researcher Stefan Schiller of SonarSource for reporting a pair of authenticated command-injection vulnerabilities.
• Thanks to Ricardo Monteiro for bringing the geo-map alarms problem NMS-15080 to our attention.
• The release notes for 31.0.3 incorrectly stated that NMS-15124 was fixed in that release. In actual fact, the fix is in this release (31.0.4).

Story

• Add search term highlight functionality in documentation (Issue NMS-13540)
• Geo Map node groups should split into individual markers (Issue NMS-15150)
• Meridian container images are signed (Issue NMS-15341)

Release 31.0.1

Release 31.0.1 is a small out-of-band release to address some issues found during 31.0.0 testing.

It contains a few small changes including a fix for unusually large docker images and some other small bug fixes, as well as some updates to the new Quick Start Guide and a fix to the installation instructions for the Cortex plugin.

Please note there is a known issue that only one plugin entry shows up in the navigation bar’s "Plugins" menu, even if multiple plugins are installed. Only ALEC users who install the cloud connector are impacted. ALEC users therefore should avoid the Cloud Services Connector plugin until a new release fixes the underlying bug.

The codename for Horizon 31.0.1 is Oreo.

Coming Soon: JIRA Migration

We will be migrating our JIRA issue-tracker from a self-hosted version to Atlassian's cloud version.
I don't have a timeline for this yet, but expect it in the coming months.

If you currently have an account at the OpenNMS issue tracker your account should already be migrated to JIRA Cloud, but you will need to perform a password reset with the "Can't log in?" link before you can log in.

Hacktoberfest

It's that time of year again!

Hacktoberfest 2022 has started, and it is once again time to make open source projects better and maybe get a t-shirt in the process. ;)

OpenNMS is participating and we've got a bunch of issues marked quickwin or quickwindoc in our issue tracker if you'd like to play along.

Feel free to join our Mattermost chat server and pop in to the OpenNMS Development channel if you have any questions or want some guidance on where to start.

Happy hacking!

Next Meridian: 2023 (Q1 2023)

Meridian 2023 is still reasonably early in its development cycle, but you can expect it to contain, at the very least, the work that's going into Horizon 30.

Meridian 2019 EOL in November

Meridian releases are supported for 3 years.
The initial Meridian 2019 happened pretty late in the year, so its 3-year birthday will be November 6th, 2022.
The November 9th release cycle will be the final release as it rolls out of active support.

• more stuff, which I haven't had a chance to go back and enumerate yet, watch this space :D

Next Meridian: 2023 (Q1 2023)

Meridian 2023 is still reasonably early in its development cycle, but you can expect it to contain, at the very least, the work that's going into Horizon 30.

Coming Soon: JIRA Migration

We will be migrating our JIRA issue-tracker from a self-hosted version to Atlassian's cloud version.
I don't have a timeline for this yet, but expect it in the coming months.

If you currently have an account at the OpenNMS issue tracker your account should already be migrated to JIRA Cloud, but you will need to perform a password reset with the "Can't log in?" link before you can log in.

The post OpenNMS On the Horizon – September 6th, 2022 appeared first on The OpenNMS Group, Inc..

The post OpenNMS is now a CNA! appeared first on The OpenNMS Group, Inc..

This is just a rerelease to fix an issue with artifact generation in 2.4.0.

This release includes a ton of dependency updates, as well as an enhancement to specify whether a remote OpenNMS system supports the newer, more efficient, query API for selecting resources.

This release adds support for querying SNMP interfaces, monitored services, and outages.

This release bumps a bunch of dependencies, plus it adds support for the api/v2/ipinterfaces API.

This is a rerelease of 2.1.0 with a fix for documentation generation.

This release adds support for some flow APIs coming in OpenNMS Horizon 28, as well as a documentation rework and tons of dependency updates.

Just a small bugfix release to facilitate OpenNMS Helm fixes.

Bug Fixes

• rest: fix response type handling in grafana 6.7 (HELM-232) (874cd80)

This is a small release with some dependency updates and a fix for handling of ReST data that is missing a response.

• dao: handle .fromData when data is undefined (JS-45) (efe6858)
• dao: warn if lastEvent is missing on an alarm (JS-45) (e4af27d)

OpenNMS.js 2.0 adds a few new APIs, contains a ton of refactoring and build system updates, and has a number of breaking changes.

Notable Changes:

• updated CLI libraries to fix/improve table output
• better, faster build system to improve generated code
• improved handling of authentication in HTTP implementations
• support for HEAD requests has been added to the HTTP implementations
• a number of metadata objects (notably OnmsServer) support .equals() for comparison now
• property caching on v2 API calls is fixed when interacting with multiple servers/DAOs
• filter API now supports orderBy and order (and the alarms CLI list command supports it)
• HTTP parameters in OnmsHTTPOptions can now have multiple values -- for example a parameter with value [ 1, 2 ] will serialize to &foo=1&foo=2

Breaking Changes:

• The api/Log module now only exports a single, simplified log object; typescript-logging was overly complicated and not really adding much in the way of value. Use .setDebug(), .setQuiet(), and .setSilent() to change the logging level instead.
• A number of the TypeScript APIs have been clarified to be explicitly nullable (and/or undefined-able) to make strict null- and type-checking validation pass.
• PropertiesCache and its associated interface, ISearchPropertyAccessor are gone. This only affects you if you have implemented custom DAOs, which is very unlikely. :)
• The previously deprecated timeout property in AbstractHTTP (and sub-classes) has been removed. Access the AbstractHTTP.options.timeout property directly.
• The Client no longer keeps a separate copy of the server object. Instead you should access the http.server sub-property directly.
• A number of API objects are now immutable/read-only to reduce side-effects: OnmsAuthConfig, OnmsEnum, OnmsError, OnmsHTTPOptions, OnmsResult, OnmsServer, Operator, SearchPropertyType, ServerMetadata, TicketerConfig.
  The OnmsHTTPOptions and OnmsServer objects now have builders (use .newBuilder() to create) rather than constructors with a bunch of arguments.
• The id property on OnmsServer is no longer generated, it is computed based on the contents of the server object and should be repeatably equal if the contents are equal.

This is a small release which adds support for a default timeout in GrafanaHTTP, as well as adding X-Requested-With headers to requests (NMS-9783).

Bug Fixes

• http: add timeout to GrafanaHTTP (22bdd70)

Features

• rest: NMS-9783: add X-Requested-With header to requests (e803726)

This release includes support for some additional flow queries, as well as a few security updates and a fix for CLI formatting.

Bug Fixes

• cli: fix broken table formatting in prod cli build (JS-33) (db50724)
• security: update handlebars, js-yaml, and marked (f5f4ad2)
• security: upgrade to Axios 0.19.0 (a731c60)

Features

• drift2: Support querying traffic for applications, conversations, and hosts (9b684cf, 8afd6a2, 1f0fd21, 77b094d)

This is a small feature release with a few changes targeted primarily to Helm.

Features

• alarms: HZN-1492 : Add RootCause and Tags to SituationFeedback (#35) (3790072)
• dao: JS-29 - add support for "isAcknowledged" on alarms (ff1515a)

This is a minor release with a fix for the properties cache and a cleanup of dependencies.

Bug Fixes

• build: JS-28 - don't mangle function names (07100ca)
• build: JS-31 - fix all outstanding audit warnings (ace9779)
• cli: fix alarm cli when no alarms are returned (75c6a9a)

Features

• api: JS-30 - reconstitute Filter/Clause/Restrictions from JSON (891bbd1)

This release contains a number of new features and a few bug fixes, including support for correlation alarms and feedback, and additional metadata for Helm 3.

Bug Fixes

• api: support flow data (bd8c5b9)
• feedback: Serialize the enum as a string (3c2f997)

Features

• alarms: HELM-110: store managedObject* if present (2b86722)

• api: add flow and situation metadata APIs (42d7a58)
• api: Add more test assertions for AlarmSummaryDTO (0f45e79)
• api: Add test for AlarmSummary and reductionKey (3329cf7)
• api: HZN-1357 expose FeedbackDAO (d354040)
• api: HZN-1357 Pass data and set accept header (0bf0bdd)
• api: HZN-1357 tests for uri.js (e98cfa4)
• api: HZN-1357 use AlarmId for Situation (3d9f172)
• api: Initial work (fa62503)
• api: Move from 'impacts/causes' to 'relatedAlarms' (3bc5b6e)
• api: OCE-REST extend Alarm and summary (e855134)
