New subject: [Check_mk Announce] TEST

25 Sep 2009

Dear collegues,

since a couple of minutes the new version 1.0.37 of check_mk
is publicly available and can be downloaded from:

http://mathias-kettner.de/check_mk.html

If you find any problems, please let us know. The best place
for that is one of the two lists checkmk-en (Englisch)
or checkmk-de (German). You can subscribe to that lists here:

Here is the ChangeLog:

      - IMPORTANT: Semantics of check "cpu.loads" has changed.
         Levels are now regarded as *per CPU*. That means, that
         if your warning level is at 4.0 on a 2 CPU machine, then
         a level of 8.0 is applied.
       - On check_mk -v now also ouputs version of check_mk
       - logfile_patterns can now contain host specific entries.
         Please refer to updated online documentation for details.
       - Handling wrapping of performance counters. 32 and 64 bit
         counters should be autodetected and handled correctly.
         Counters wrapping over twice within one check cycle
         cannot be handled, though.
       - Fixed bug in diskstat: Throughput was computed twice
         too high, since /proc/diskstats counts in sectors (512 Bytes)
         not in KB
       - The new configuration variables bulkwalk_hosts and
         non_bulkwalk_hosts, that allow  to specify, which hosts
         support snmpbulkwalk (which is
         faster than snmpwalk) and which not. In previos versions,
         always bulk walk was used, but some devices do not support
         that.
       - New configuration variable non_aggregated_hosts allows
         to exclude hosts generally from service aggregation.
       - New SNMP based check for Rittal CMC TC
         (ComputerMultiControl-TopConcept) Temperature sensors
       - Fixed several problems in autodetection of setup
       - Fixed inventory check: exit code was always 0
         for newer Python versions.
       - Fixed optical problem in check manual pages with
         newer version of less.
       - New template check_mk-local.php that tries to
         find and include service name specific templates.
         If none is found, default.php will be used.
       - New PNP templates check_mk-kernel.php for major page
         faults, context switches and process creation
       - New PNP template for cpu.threads (Number of threads)
       - Check nfsmounts now detects stale NFS handles and
         triggers a warning state in that case

Many greetings from Munich,

Mathias Kettner
