General

Pluggable polling methods

lib/nbsocket.py uses pluggable polling method. In addition to the classic select(), poll() and epoll() methods are implemented. Polling method is set into etc/noc.conf:[main]/polling_method configuration variable.

Service Activation

New profiles

  • H3C.VRP

New scripts

  • HP.ProCurve9xxx.get_arp
  • HP.ProCurve9xxx.get_fqdn
  • HP.ProCurve9xxx.get_interfaces
  • HP.ProCurve9xxx.get_spanning_tree
  • Huawei.VRP.get_interface_status
  • Juniper.JUNOS.get_interfaces
  • OS.FreeBSD.get_vlans
  • Zyxel.ZyNOS.add_vlan
  • Zyxel.ZyNOS.remove_vlan

New interfaces

  • IGetFDPNeighbors
  • IConfigNotifyFilter

API enhancements

  • command_exit works properly
  • Profile.start_session() allows to write sophisticated session setups
  • ScriptTest.ignore_timestamp_mismatch

Topology Discovery

New method: Foundry Discovery Protocol (FDP)

debug-script enhancements

  • Parallel execution on several management objects
  • Script results are dumped at the end of log
  • selector:<name> construction can be used instead of managed object's name

Pure-python telnet and ssh clients implementation

pure-Python telnet and ssh2 clients are implemented. PTYs are no longer needed for noc-activator. CLI session limit can be significantly increased as result.

Cisco Catalyst clusters support

Catalyst cluster members can be set up as separate management objects using /cluster:<id>/ _Path.

UI improvements

  • Show only used device profiles into Management Object's filter.
  • Show platform and model in management objects list.

Other

Serious speed optimization and reduced memory footprint for noc-activator
