OpenNMS 2.0

The plan is to make the next stable release OpenNMS 2.0. Before that happens there is a lot of clean up that should be done to make OpenNMS easier to use. Here is a list of some ideas. They should be updated with a link to a Jira issue for tracking the task once it is agreed upon. Please use the talk tab for discussion.

Deprecation

• Deprecate vacuumd. All of the required functionality can be done with alarms and no trigger.
• Deprecate actiond. It is seldom, if ever, used. Functionality is supplied by notifd
• Deprecate ad hoc reports in lieu of the real time grapher
• Deprecate the maps.enable file

Configuration

• Rename snmp-graph.properties to just graph.properties and combine it with response-graph.properties.
• Rename datacollection-config.xml to snmp-datacollection-config.xml
• Standardize on a way to include/exclude configurations. Either use "include" tags like in datacollection-config and eventconf or an include directory like snmp-graph.properties.d

ReST

• Add a ReST command to turn notices on and off.

Usability

• Make sure manage/unmange services just work.
• Create a superuser ROLE that can restart daemons from the webUI
• Make sure all daemon configs can be reloaded without restarting OpenNMS
