Dear list members,
we are glad to be able to bring one further innovation release just
before christmas. It fixes some bugs from previous 1.1.9i releases
and brings again a lot of new features. Here is the ChangeLog:
1.1.9i3:
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
* You need a current version of Livestatus for Multisite to work!
* Multisite: removed (undocumented) view parameters show_buttons
and show_controls.
Please use display_options instead.
* Finally removed deprecated filesystem_levels. Please use
check_parameters instead.
* Livestatus: The StatsGroupBy: header is still working but now
deprecated.
Please simply use Columns: instead. If your query contains at
least one Stats:
header than Columns: has the meaning of the old StatsGroupBy:
header
Core, Setup, etc.:
* Create alias 'cmk' for check_mk in bin/ (easier typing)
* Create alias 'mkp' for check_mk -P in bin/ (easier typing)
Multisite:
* Finally show host/services icons from the nagios value
"icon_image".
Put your icon files in /usr/share/check_mk/web/htdocs/images
/icons.
OMD users put the icons into ~/local/share/check_mk/web/htdocs
/images/icons.
* New automatic PNP-link icons: These icons automatically appear, if
the new livestatus is configured correctly (see below).
* new view property "hidebutton": allow to hide context button to a
view.
* Defaults views 'Services: OK', 'Services: WARN, etc. do now not
create
context buttons (cleans up button bar).
* new HTML parameter display_options, which allows to switch off
several
parts of the output (e.g. the HTML header, external links, etc).
* View hoststatus: show PNP graph of host (usually ping stats)
* new tab "Display": here the user can choose time stamp
display format and PNP graph ranges
* new column "host_tags", showing the Check_MK host tags of a host
* new datasource "alert_stats" for computing alert statistics
* new view "Alert Statistics" showing alert statistics for all hosts
and services
Checks & Agents:
* Fixed problem with OnlyFrom: in Linux agent (df didn't work
properly)
* cups_queues: fixed plugin error due to invalid import of datetime,
converted other checks from 'from datetime import...' to 'import
datetime'.
* printer_supply: handle the case where the current value is missing
Livestatus:
* new column pnpgraph_present in table host and service. In order
for this
column to work you need to specify the base directory of the PNP
graphs
with the module option pnp_path=, e.g. pnp_path=/omd/sites
/wato/var/pnp4nagios/perfdata
* Allow more than one column for StatsGroupBy:
* Do not use function is_contact_member_of_contactgroup anymore
(get compatible
with Nagios CVS)
* Livestatus: log timeperiod transitions (active <-> inactive) into
Nagios
log file. This will enable us to create availability reports more
simple
in future.
Merry Christmas and thanks for using Check_MK!

Dear list members,
we just want to inform you that the new Check_MK version 1.1.9i2 is
now available. We skipped the announcement of 1.1.9i1 since that
version had some bugs which are now fixed.
The greatest innovation since 1.1.8 is WATO - a new web based
administration GUI for Check_MK, which is integrated in
Multisite. Please refer to http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_wato.html
for Details.
When upgrading to 1.1.9i2 from a version up to 1.1.8, please read
the migration notices. There are a few incompatible changes (i.e.
how to call the inventory). You'll find that here:
http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_migration_notes.html
Please let use know if you find any problems. Post bug
reports on checkmk-enlists.mathias-kettner.de (subscription
required).
With best regards,
Mathias Kettner
