Over three months, Riccardo Santinelli contributed to the OpenNMS/opennms repository by building and refining backend features for network discovery and measurement data processing. He developed centralized LLDP decoding utilities in Java to improve SNMP agent compatibility and enhance topology discovery accuracy. Riccardo addressed bugs in long-term measurement trend calculations by improving NaN handling in polynomial regression logic, validated with real-world unit tests. He also fixed LLDP data collection for MICROSENS devices by refining remote index retrieval and expanding test coverage. His work demonstrated depth in backend development, data analysis, and robust unit testing, resulting in more reliable network monitoring capabilities.

September 2025 monthly summary for OpenNMS/opennms focused on improving LLDP data collection for MICROSENS devices. Implemented a targeted fix for LLDP remote link table walk by adding null chassis ID checks and refining the LLDP remote index retrieval to ensure accurate data collection. Expanded test coverage with new scenarios for MICROSENS and QFX switches to validate the fix. This work improves topology accuracy, reduces data gaps, and strengthens discovery reliability for affected devices.

July 2025: OpenNMS/opennms delivered LLDP Decoding Utilities and Topology Discovery Robustness. Implemented LldpSnmpUtils to centralize LLDP decoding utilities, improving compatibility with SNMP agents (notably Planet and Microsense) and increasing accuracy/robustness of topology discovery. Fixed LLDP handling for Planet and Microsense (NMS-18059) with commit 8974477daf3a0acedc854dec0cbbedfa19c1d368. Business value: more reliable network maps, reduced operational troubleshooting, and a solid foundation for future LLDP enhancements. Technologies: Java utilities, LLDP/SNMP integration, refactoring, and maintainability improvements.
