OpenNMS Horizon 17 Released

Posted on by Tarus

I am extremely happy to announce the availability of OpenNMS Horizon 17. This marks the fourth major release of OpenNMS in a little over a year, and I’m extremely proud of the team for moving the project so far forward so quickly.

There is a lot in this release. One of the major things is support for a new storage backend based on the Newts project. This will enable OpenNMS to basically store unlimited amounts of time-series data. The only thing missing, which should completed soon, is a way to convert all of your old RRD-based data to Newts. Since it will take people awhile to get a Newts/Cassandra instance set up, we didn’t want to hold the rest of the release until this was done. If you are installing OpenNMS from scratch and don’t have any legacy data, the Newts integration is ready to go now.

The team is also making great strides in improving the documentation. There is a better version of the Release Notes there.

Horizon 17 will form the basis for Meridian 2016, which we expect in early spring. The next Horizon release will contain the completed Minion functionality, which adds the ability to distribute OpenNMS so that, along with Newts, OpenNMS will have nearly limitless scalability.

Not bad for a free software product, eh? Remember you can always play with the latest and greatest of any OpenNMS development branch just by installing the desired repository.

Anyway, enjoy, and I’ll be sure to post when the RRD converter is available.
