Kuwaiba aims to be an enterprise grade open source Network Inventory System (which covers some aspects of NGOSS), built on top of the Netbeans Platform and Java EE 6, focused on scalability, reliability, usability and interoperability. Some of the features that can be found in these early versions (most recent is 0.3.1/0.4 alpha (development), see article below for detailed information) are:

  • Object Oriented data model
  • Support for Physical connections and views
  • Supports creation, update and deletion objects (network elements, facilities, services)
  • Support for Hierarchical views and element detail views
  • Object detail editor
  • Attribute editor
  • Tools to manage container hierarchy to specify what element can be parent of what other elements (cities into states, switches into racks, etc)
  • User and group management (only for login purposes by now, privileges scheme is coming)
  • Custom queries (graphical query designer)

After many months of blinking work, the last version using the old architecture (and the old Postgresql backend) is out. Inside the client and server bundle you'll find the respective changelogs, but in in short, what you can see is:

Server Side: A few classes added to the model and minor bugfixes
Client Side: A new look and feel and minor bug fixes.

If you were a 0.3 stable user, just backup your data and redeploy the server bundle (it uses the same old database). If you installation is fresh, just restore one of the default databases as indicated in the administrator manual.

Downloads here, documentation here.

You can check out the first draft of the optical networks model documentation. Implementing this model, Kuwaiba will be able to manage WDM/DWDM networks, as well as FTTx services (this is, core and last mile). Don't hesitate to drop you comments in the developers mailing list or directly at contact _at_ kuwaiba _dot_ org. You can find the document in the documentation download section.
 
After a delay due to my side job (sorry about that), this milestone is already finished. Since the last version (beta 2) there has been fixed many reported bugs and feature requests. Feel free to report any problem using the tracker or join any of the mailing lists.

Migration instructions
From version 0.3 beta 2: Use the same database, just replace the the server application following the instructions available at the Administrator Manual.
From version 0.2.1: This version is not backward compatible.

The next development cycles will aim to progressively move towards to a NoSQL backend since the current RDBMS engine is not suitable for dynamic data models such the one needed in this project. Stay tuned to our Twitter account for updates.
