Dear users of Check_MK,
we are happy to announce the release of the innovation version
1.2.3i2 of Check_MK. This version includes lots of new features
and also many bug fixes.
The most prominent changes are:
- Passive Hosts/Service checks that are not updated in time are
now visualized by Multisite as "stale".
- The agent_vsphere (ESX monitoring) has been partially rewritten.
This is a *massive* performance improvement (note: not working
when quering a vCenter yet). Check_MK has now by far the fastest
ESX monitoring of all Nagios solutions.
- All checks finally have man pages. New manpage-browser with cmk -m.
- You can set SNMP communities via a new host attribute.
- The new livestatus proxy daemon improves situations with many
Multsite remote sites that have a unreliable network connection.
- A DNS cache speeds up the configuration generation - if you have
many hosts.
- clustered_services/ignored_services now immediately affect the
check table - no re-inventory is neccessary any more.
- A new inline-SNMP implementation is available. This is still
experimental, needs Python-SNMP bindings installed. But it
can speed up SNMP based checks by 100%.
- All WATO tables are now searchable.
- Many new check plugins, bugfixes and improvements in existing
ones.
NOTE:
- With the new version the way filesystem levels are set have been
improved with new features. If you have set filesystem levels in
your main.mk, you will have to change the levels from integers to
floats (e.g. 90 to 90.0), otherwise they will be interpreted as
absolute levels in megabytes. WATO users are not affected.
Please see the Check_MK documentation on filesystems for more
details.
Please refer to the ChangeLog for a full reference. You find this
on the download page of the project and in root directory of the
source code tree.
If you find any problems with the new version and want to send
us patches, bug fixes, help us debugging, etc. then please use
