Branch: refs/heads/master Home: https://github.com/tribe29/checkmk Commit: d61193be5f3df2943aa30a06d1cb877fa96ba361 https://github.com/tribe29/checkmk/commit/d61193be5f3df2943aa30a06d1cb877fa… Author: Moritz Kiemer &lt;moritz.kiemer(a)tribe29.com&gt; Date: 2019-09-30 (Mon, 30 Sep 2019) Changed paths: A .werks/10146 A agents/plugins/mk_errpt.aix R agents/plugins/mk_logwatch.aix A tests/unit/agents/plugins/test_mk_errpt_aix.py R tests/unit/agents/plugins/test_mk_logwatch_aix.py Log Message: ----------- 10146 FIX mk_logwatch.aix: Rename to mk_errpt.aix The AIX agent plugin {{mk_logwatch.aix}} has been renamed to {{mk_errpt.aix}}. The plugins name wrongly suggested that it was a version of {{mk_logwatch}} designed to run on AIX machines. In fact, mk_errpt.aix (formerly known as mk_logwatch.aix) is a Korn-shell plugin that will forward all errors reported by the command line tool {{errpt}} in a way that will create a logwatch service on the monitoring server. {{mk_logwatch}}, on the other hand, is a python plugin. It should run on any machine as long as python is installed, in particular it is known to run on AIX. These two plugins can be deployed independently from one another. <b>Note:</b>Before deploying the renamed plugin, it is recommended to copy the file that stores the last reported message, in order to avoid duplicate warnings. In the {{$MK_VARDIR}} directory, copy {{mk_logwatch_aix.last_reported}} to {{mk_errpt_aix.last_reported}}. After {{mk_errpt.aix}} is deployed, you may remove the former.
