Title: Reworked internal logging mechanism
Component: Multisite
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i1
The web GUI has now a central log file, which is located at
<tt>var/log/web.log</tt> in your OMD site. This logfile is
used for all application internal logs, for example the
LDAP diagnostic log.

These checks did not include a library file. It was unlikely that
they work in a nagios environment.

Title: LDAP: The diagnostic log has been changed to use a fixed path
Component: WATO
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i1
The LDAP diagnostic log, which should only be enabled for debugging purposes,
has been changed from a free configurable path to a fixed path. In your

Title: Fixed exception in HW-/SW-Inventory GUI with special characters in inventorized data
Component: HW/SW-Inventory
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i1
The information fetched from e.g. windows systems were not properly encoded. This could
lead into exceptions when viewing the data in the GUI.
To get these encoding errors fixed, you need to update to this version and then wait
for all your inventory data being updated. After it has been updated, the errors in the
GUI should be gone.

Title: aix_if: new agent section and check
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i1
This aix check_mk_agent has a new section aix_if extracting more information about network interfaces
than the previous lnx_if section. A new interface check for AIX named aix_if has also been created
given more useful information.
As long as you do not replace the check_mk_agent on your AIX systems, nothing will change.
When you replace the agent with the new one, you will have to redo the service discovery.
Interfaces will reappear with the same service description, but with more information about the NIC.

Title: In distributed environments user notification rules trigger a profile synchronisation now
Component: WATO
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i1
In previous versions the custom user notification rules were not synchronized to
remote sites in the moment the user changed his rules. An admin had to perform
a synchronisation via WATO to replicate these changes to the rules to the remote
sites for taking effect there.
Now, when a user changes his individual notification rules, a replication of
the updated user profile is triggered.

Title: LDAP-Sync: Handling user ids with special characters more user friendly
Component: Multisite
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i1
At the moment the Check_MK GUI does not allow to use special characters like
german umlauts in the user ID. By default the LDAP sync pluginn tries to
replace these umlauts with some similar characters, or if enabled, it tries
to skip these users during sync.
But if a user ID contains other special characters, which are not handled by
the LDAP code, this could result in exceptions after synchronising such users.
We improved the handling of those users to skip them silently during
synchronisation. If you miss some users, just enable the diagnostic log and
have a look at the LDAP debug log (located in <tt>var/check_mk/web/ldap-debug.log</tt>
in OMD sites) and search for <tt>Skipped user: ...</tt> entries. If you need
these users within Check_MK please let us know, we will add the needed umlauts
to the translation map.
For future innovation releases we plan to make such special characters usable
in user IDs, then this translation map will not be needed anymore.

Title: Fixed exception in inventory GUI when trying to render dates of inventorized exe files
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i1
Till this change the agent provided the installation dates of the exe files in a localized
format (depending on the system locale config). The new agent is now providing a non
localized format which can easily be parsed by the check.
Not parsed installation dates lead to exceptions in the GUI when showing the inventorized
information of a host.
