FUNCTIONAL RUNDOWN

What does OpenNMS actually do?

© 2016 The OpenNMS Group, Inc.

OPENNMS FUNCTIONAL AREAS

●Provisioning : getting nodes, interfaces, services into and out of the system. Flexible, API-driven life-cycle management; push and pull modes of operation

© 2016 The OpenNMS Group, Inc.

OPENNMS FUNCTIONAL AREAS

●Provisioning●Fault Management : multi-protocol service-assurance polling

© 2016 The OpenNMS Group, Inc.

OPENNMS FUNCTIONAL AREAS

●Provisioning●Fault Management●Performance Management : multi-protocol metric data collection; in-line thresholding; reporting via measurements ReST service

© 2016 The OpenNMS Group, Inc.

OPENNMS FUNCTIONAL AREAS

●Provisioning●Fault Management●Performance Management●Event Management : event-driven platform; intake from without; de-duplication; correlation with JBoss Drools Expert; notifications with reusable destination paths and escalations

© 2016 The OpenNMS Group, Inc.

OPENNMS FUNCTIONAL AREAS

●Provisioning●Fault Management●Performance Management●Event Management●Topology : Pluggable providers. Link discovery via SNMP for LLDP, CDP, OSPF, IS-IS.

HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE

●Sample data stored in RRD files●Operations fairly centralized●Platform running in monolithic JVM(s)●Not really cloud- or controller-aware

© 2016 The OpenNMS Group, Inc.

ARCHITECTURAL DIRECTION

●NewTS*† (Cassandra metric storage)●Minion* (Fully distributed operation)

●OSGi via Karaf (Modularize all the things!)●Kafka†, Spark Streaming (Get on the bus)●Increasingly abstract notion of controllers

†Here today *Developed in house

MIQ INTEGRATION: PROVISIONING

●MIQ lifecycle → ONMS inventory–Automate MIQ to drive OpenNMS ReST API–VMs / Instances → OpenNMS Nodes

●Fault & Performance coverage–Possible today – I even tried making it

PROVISIONING INTEGRATION CONCEPT

●One foreign-source (requisition) per EMS instance

●One foreign-ID per instance●PUT / DELETE to OpenNMS Requisitions ReST service on instance create / destroy

●Very common pattern!

BUT THEN I WAS LIKE...

●Did I do this right??●Should work, given a bit more fiddling :)

●Needs refining–Sync MIQ Tags → OpenNMS Categories

–Auto-provision services according to MIQ Tags

© 2016 The OpenNMS Group, Inc.

BEYOND PROVISIONING

●New cross-cutting concern for ManageIQ●FPMProvider●Adjust billing if SLAs not met

●Many touch points●Reporting●Planning●Alerting

© 2016 The OpenNMS Group, Inc.

SDN CAPABILITIES IN PROGRESS

●SDN Underlay / Overlay–OpenDaylight Topology provider

●Project Atlas (layers)–OpenDaylight Boron can use NewTS in place of TSDR
