Dear friends of Check_MK,
the new stable release 1.2.5i1 of Check_MK is ready for download.
This version comes with *a lot* of small to medium changes. It comes with
many improvements in WATO, Multisite and with a bunch of new checks, you
should really take a look at the huge change log.
The most interesting features might be the new rules based notification,
which are an alternative to the old flexible notifications and make the
notifications even more flexible. BI can now deal with hard/soft states,
downtimes and acknowledgements. Our SNMP monitoring improvment "Inline SNMP"
is now activated by default.

Dear users of Check_MK,
as some of you might already have noticed, we've been working on our new
products, the Check_MK Appliances, for the last weeks.
The appliances come as fully integrated monitoring solutions which make
starting with system monitoring a lot easier.
Currently there are three models available:
- Check_MK rack1 (19" 1HE)
- Check_MK rail1 (DIN rail)
- Check_MK virt1 (Virtual Appliance)
More information can be found here:
http://mathias-kettner.com/check_mk_monitoring_appliance.html
Now, to give you an idea of the system, we created a public available
demo edition of the Check_MK virt1. If you like to try the features and
integration of our new appliance, you can download it free of charge.
You may download the appliance here:
http://mathias-kettner.com/check_mk_appliance_download.php?HTML=yes&LANG=en
The documentation (sorry, only german at the moment, we are working on
it) can be found here: http://mathias-kettner.de/cms.html
Best regards
Lars
