June 2025 OpenNMS/opennms monthly summary: Delivered major resilience and configurability enhancements with a focus on reliable Elasticsearch interactions and flexible deployment configuration. Replaced JestClient with ElasticRestClient across Flow modules to improve reliability and throughput when interacting with Elasticsearch, introducing bulk and search request models, retry for bulk operations, async support, and health checks with circuit-breaker patterns to reduce outages and improve time-to-recovery. Enhanced SCV keystore configurability by enabling keystore type specification via system properties, adding loading logic to ScvUtils, and correcting property-loading order to prioritize system properties, thereby improving configurability, test stability, and deployment consistency. These changes collectively reduce operational risk, improve CI reliability, and demonstrate strong software craftsmanship across backend integrations, configuration management, and resilience engineering.

Month: 2025-05 — Delivered a feature-rich extension to OpenNMS/OpenNMS focusing on Elasticsearch template management and NetFlow integration. Key capability is ElasticRestClient-based management of Elasticsearch templates (ILM policies, component templates, and composable index templates) with directory-driven application, and capabilities to list, show, and apply individual templates for dynamic Elasticsearch configuration. Also added NetFlow Composable Templates support, with a refactor removing explicit connection logic and introducing ComposableTemplateInitializer to drive template application from a directory. Updated documentation and integration tests to verify new functionality across scenarios. No explicit major defects recorded in this period; improvements emphasize reliability, automation, and consistency of deployments across environments.
