This is a brief overview of the major changes between opCharts releases.

Please see opCharts Product Compatibility to see which Linux Distributions and MongoDB we support.

opCharts 4.2.3

We recommend NMIS9.2 and greater for this release.

Improvements

• Improved query performance for nodes panels when showed as a resource.
• New action in opcharts-cli setup-db, this updates opCharts indexes in MongoDB on install and can be manually run from the cli.
• Node topology now supports ipv6
• opcharts-cli act=import-subnets has improved debug logging, set debug=1 to see how its calculating subnets
• opcharts-cli act=clear-subnets removes all cached subnets in the database.
• Two new configuration items items to help change sizing of components

  • "opcharts_gui_default_component_size" this sets the components sizes across the application, excludes node detail view

    • Default is 210

  • Before this release the component size was hard coded as 280 and would cause certain components to render larger than desired
    
    • "opcharts_gui_nodes_detail_component_size" this changes the size of the components in the node detail view.
    • Default is 280
• Inventory view for concept interfaces shows enabled and disabled interfaces for collect.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue in opCharts where a large amount MongoDB connections were created and retained.
• Fixed issue with node resources not displaying correctly.
• Fixed issue in node resources title bar where the resource would show interface or no resource name at all.
• Fixed issue where imported network maps were not auto fitting to the current screen size on load.
• Fixed issue where resizing the screen would cause the inventory view buttons to disappear.

• Inventory search improvements
  • inventory.data.Description is now searchable in the GUI with iregex
  • inventory.data.ifSpeed is now searchable as a string match
• LLDP Improvements
  • If NMIS9 has LLDP neighbor in its inventory opCharts will use its currently polled neighbors interface to show utilization and metadata
• CDP Improvements
  • If NMIS9 has CDP neighbor in its inventory opCharts will use its currently polled neighbors interface to show utilization and metadata
• Improved the panels in Business Services including a new Monitored Services Panel
• If the Interface or Node Panel cannot find any performance or utilization data it will show "No Data" instead of rendering nothing
• Business Services have improved rendering of panels into rows.

• Performance of custom group status calculations has also been significantly improved, making maps with many custom groups load significantly faster.

• Auto geographical maps available from a link on the Node list page, the Nodes location is taken from either it's Nodes.nmis entry or the lat/long in it's Location table entry, the Nodes.nmis fields names are location_latitude and location_longitude
• Geographical maps will cluster items on the map that are too close together, set opcharts_maps_geographical_clustering to 0 to disable this feature
• File Uploads, Map Icons and Backgrounds can now be uploaded through the web interface.
• Collapsible Sidebar, below the sidebar, is a button to toggle the sidebar to be open or closed.
