Hi all, the version 1.1.0 is finally out. The main innovation is the new event broker module "MK Livestatus" which allows direct access to the status of all Nagios objects like hosts and services via a UNIX socket. Check_MK Multiadmin now makes use of that interface instead of status.dat. MK Livestatus has also been made fit to be used as a backend for NagVis. The new release of NagVis 1.4.5 has also been published today - and is the first third party addon to officially support MK Livestatus. Check_MK 1.1.0 also has many improvement and bug fixes in other areas. Here is the complete ChangeLog: - First version with "Check_MK Livestatus Module"! - Fixed problems in Windows agent (could lead to crash of agent in case of unusal Eventlog messages) - Fixed problem sind 1.0.39: recompile waitmax for 32 Bit (also running on 64) - Autoconfiscated MK Livestatus - Fixed bug in cluster checks: No cache files had been used. This can lead to missing logfile messages. - Check kernel: allow to set levels (e.g. on pgmajfaults) - Check ps now allows to check for processes owned by a specific user (need update of Linux agent) - New configuration option aggregate_check_mk: If set to True, the summary hosts will show the status auf check_mk (default: False) - Check winperf.cpuusage now supports levels for warning and critical. Default levels are at 101 / 101 - New check df_netapp32 which must be used for Netapps that do not support 64 bit counters. Does the same as df_netapp - Symlink PNP templates: df_netapp32 and df_netapp use same template as df - Fix bug: ifoperstatus does not produce performance data but said so. - Fixed bug in MK Livestatus: StatsGroupBy: didn't work - Fix bug in Multiadmin: Sorting according to service states did not work - Fix two bugs in df_netapp: use 64 bit counters (32 counter wrap at 2TB filesystems) and exclude snapshot filesystems with size 0 from inventory. - Rudimentary support for monitoring ESX: monitor virtual filesystems with 'vdf' (using normal df check of check_mk) and monitor state of machines with vcbVmName -s any (new check vmware_state). - Fixed bug in MRPE: check failed on empty performance data (e.g. from check_snmp: there is emptyness after the pipe symbol sometimes) - mk_logwatch -d now processes the complete logfile if logwatch.state is missing or not including the file (this is easier for testing) setup.sh will compile, install and activate Livestatus per default now. If you do not want this, please disable it by entering <tt>no</tt>, when asked by setup. - Web pages (Multiadmin) now uses MK Livestatus instead of parsing status.dat. This is much faster. And that way you get *live* data. - New Option --paths shows all installation, config and data paths of Check_mk and Nagios - New configuration variable define_hostgroups and define service_groups allow you to automatically create host- and service groups - even with aliases. - Multiadmin has new filter for 'active checks enabled'. - Multiadmin filter for check_command is now a drop down list. - Dummy commands output error message when passive services are actively checked (by accident) - New configuration option service_descriptions allows to define customized service descriptions for each check type - New configuration options extra_host_conf, extra_summary_host_conf and extra_service_conf allow to define arbitrary Nagios options in host and service defitions (notes, icon_image, custom variables, etc) - Fix bug: honor only_hosts also at option -C The configuration of 1.1.0 is compatible to that of 1.0.39. The setup now needs a C++ compiler installed (because of Livestatus). It's possible to install check_mk without Livestatus - if you do not want to use Multiadmin. Greetings and thanks for using Check_MK!
