v1.2 - SNMP, SQLLite, Plugins
Release Date: 9/2/2024

Core Enhancements

SNMP Integration:

  • Implemented SNMP monitoring using the NetOpsSNMP class.
  • Added SNMP status checks to determine device reachability, with fallback to ping if SNMP fails.
  • Configurable SNMP community strings via config.ini.

SQLite Integration:

  • Integrated SQLite database for storing device information, logs, and status updates.
  • Introduced SystemLog class to manage program logs, including error handling and informational messages.
  • Environment setup now ensures database and required folders are created if they do not exist.

Plugins Architecture

Plugin System:

  • Introduced a plugins folder for modular functionality.
  • Dynamic Tools menu loads and executes plugins at runtime.

Syslog Plugin:

  • Developed a Syslog server plugin that listens for syslog messages and stores them in SQLite.
  • Integrated Syslog Viewer in the Tools menu to display and filter syslog messages.

Speed Test Plugin:

  • Added a speed test plugin utilizing speedtest-cli.
  • GUI for running speed tests and displaying download, upload speeds, and ping.
  • Thread-safe GUI updates within the plugin.
  • Performance and Stability Improvements

Thread-Safe Queue Management:

  • Implemented a thread-safe queue (update_queue) for managing GUI updates from background threads.
  • Ensured all GUI interactions from background threads are routed through this queue.

Device Status Tracking:

  • Introduced counters for tracking consecutive successes and failures for device checks to prevent intermittent "flashing" statuses.
  • Threshold-based mechanism for determining device reachability based on multiple checks.

Error Handling and Logging:

  • Improved error handling across modules, with comprehensive logging for easier troubleshooting.
  • Enhanced System Log viewer with log level filters and search functionality.
  • User Interface and Usability

Reduced Application Size:

  • Optimized the codebase, reducing the overall size by approximately 50%.
  • Simplified GUI code while adding new features, ensuring a cleaner and more maintainable codebase.

Improved Device Management:

  • Streamlined device management dialogs (add, edit, delete) for easier interaction.
  • Correctly tracks and highlights acknowledged devices in the Treeview.

Enhanced Visual Feedback:

  • Improved visual indicators in the Treeview for device statuses, with color-coding for reachable and unreachable devices.
  • Added a countdown timer and progress bar for refresh intervals, giving users clear feedback on the next check.

Environment Setup

Automated Setup:

  • Automated environment setup ensures all necessary Python packages are installed.
  • Added firewall configuration steps for both Windows and Linux to allow Syslog traffic on UDP port 514.
