Check_MK Werk 0017: local: New state type P for state computation based on perfdata

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 0017 Title: local: New state type P for state computation based on perfdata Component: Checks & Agents Level: 1 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.3i7 The section <tt><<<local>>></tt> now allows a new state marker <tt>P</tt> (next to <tt>0</tt>, <tt>1</tt>, <tt>2</tt> and <tt>3</tt>). When setting this marker, the check plugin computes the state according to the levels contained in the performance data. Take the following example: F+: <<<local>>> P Environment temp=30;28;35|humidity=33;40:60;35:70;0;100 This is a text F-: The check will first check the variable <tt>temp</tt>. It's current value is <tt>30</tt>. The levels are at <tt>28</tt> and <tt>35</tt> for warning and critical, resp. Because 30 is greater then 28 this will trigger a warning. The second performance value <tt>humidity</tt> has both lower and upper levels for warning and critical - separated by a colon. The current value is 33, which is lower than the lower critical level of <tt>35</tt>. This will make this variable und thus the total check critical. H2:Notes <ul> <li>It is allowed to use fractional values like <tt>35.12</tt>.</li> <li>If the current value exactly matches a level, the better state is being used. This is not consistent with the usual levels in Check_MK checks, but is neccessary if you want to have just one single value to be OK.</li> <li>When using <tt>P</tt> then the current values of all variables are appended to the plugin output. If you want you can omit the your additional text at all in that case.</li> <li>When you use <tt>P</tt> and do not supply performance data or do not supply levels, the status will always be OK.</li> </ul> Example for a <tt>local</tt> line without a text: F+: <<<local>>> P Environment temp=30;28;35|humidity=33;40:60;35:70;0;100 F-: The output will be: C+: Environment CRIT - temp 30.0 > 28.0(!), humidity 33.0 < 35.0(!!) C-:

Check_MK Werk 0016: Linux+Windows agent: allow spooling plugin outputs via files

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 0016 Title: Linux+Windows agent: allow spooling plugin outputs via files Component: Checks & Agents Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.3i7 The Windows and Linux agent now have a new feature for sending the contents of files as a part of the agent output. This is useful for generating monitoring data asychronously, e.g. by a cron job. Simply let the job create or update a file in the directory <tt>/etc/check_mk/spool</tt> (Linux) or in the subdirection <tt>spool</tt> of the agent directory (Windows). If that directory is missing, simply create it. The agent will then add the contents of all files contained in that directory to its output. You can use any filename you like. Just files beginning with a dot are ignored. This is an easy way to have applications on the host drop monitoring data into Check_MK. Especially conveniant is using a local <tt><<<local>>></tt> section here. If you prefix the file name with a number (e.g. <tt>600MyOutput</tt> or <tt>3600_app_data.txt</tt>) then that number is interpreted as a number of seconds. If the last modification of the file is older than that number, it will be ignored. This will usually set the corresponding services in the monitoring to UNKNOWN. That way you can make sure that you will be alarmed if no fresh monitoring data is available. Here is an example for a spool file using a [check_local|<tt>local</tt>] section: F+:C:\Program Files\Check_MK\spool\600_foobar.txt <<<local>>> 0 Service_FOO V=1 This Check is OK 1 Bar_Service - This is WARNING and has no performance data 2 NotGood V=120;50;100;0;1000 A critical check F-:

Check_MK Werk 0238: vsphere monitoring: new option to skip placeholder vms in agent output

by Andreas Boesl

ID: 0238 Title: vsphere monitoring: new option to skip placeholder vms in agent output Component: Checks & Agents Level: 1 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.3i7 When using a Site Recovery Manager (SRM) some of the virtualmachines are only used as fallback. The new agent_vsphere option -p allows to suppress any output regarding placeholder vms. Right now this option only works when querying a host system. Placeholder vms are identified by not having an assigned VirtualDisk Device. The option is also configurable via the WATO rule "Check state of VMWare ESX via vSphere"

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 0015 Title: Fixed summary computation in availability when grouping is used Component: Reporting & Availability Level: 1 Class: Bug Fix Version: 1.2.3i7 In the availability view the summary line was computed wrong in cased you had more than one group (e.g. by grouping after the service group). That has been fixed.
