Check_MK Werk 2275: windows agent: new subfolders, improved folder cleanup during uninstall

by Andreas Boesl

ID: 2275 Title: windows agent: new subfolders, improved folder cleanup during uninstall Component: Checks & Agents Level: 1 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i1 The windows agent now comes with the following folders <table> <tr><th>Folder</th><th>Description</th></tr> <tr><td>local</td>local scripts<td></td></tr> <tr><td>plugins</td>plugin scripts<td></td></tr> <tr><td>config</td><td>configuration files for scripts</td></tr> <tr><td>state</td><td>state files for scripts and the agent, e.g. logwatch state</td></tr> <tr><td>spool</td><td>spoolfiles from other applications</td>/tr> <tr><td>log</td>logfiles from scripts and the agent<td></td></tr> <tr><td>temp</td>working directory for scripts<td></td></tr> </table> When you update the agent to a newer version, the content of this folders will not get deleted. Only during the uninstall everything is cleaned up, with two exceptions. Self-written scripts in the local and plugin folders are not automatically deleted during uninstall. These files will linger around till you remove them manually. The incompatible part of this werk is the changed location of the state files for the logwatch and logfiles checks. These files were located in the agent directory, now they are located in the subdirectory state. As a result, if you start the new agent there will be no known last offsets of the logwatch and the eventlog monitoring. In this scenario the agent will start at the end. If you want to start at the old offsets, you need to copy the files logstate.txt and eventstate.txt into the state directory.

Check_MK Werk 2229: Do not fail on non-existing Livestatus columns any longer, output None or null instead

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 2229 Title: Do not fail on non-existing Livestatus columns any longer, output None or null instead Component: Livestatus Level: 1 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i1 When you ask for a column that does not exist in your Livestatus version, now this is not considered as a fatal error any longer but just being logged as a warning. Instead an empty string (CSV), <tt>None</tt> (Python) or <tt>null</tt> (JSON) is being returned. This makes it easier for GUIs to maintain compatibility with existing Livestatus version when new features are implemented that make use of new Livestatus columns.

by Andreas Boesl

ID: 2271 Title: logwatch_ec: Now able to create a single check for each logfile forwarded to the event console Component: Checks & Agents Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i1 Per default one check "Log Forwarding" was created when log messages should be forwarded to the event console.

by Andreas Boesl

ID: 2270 Title: windows agent: now able to add cached information into section headers Component: Checks & Agents Level: 1 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i1 The windows agent now expands the section headers of plugin scripts with cached information, if applicable. For example, if you configure the windows_udpates plugin to be cached for one day the section header will now look like <tt><<<windows_updates:cached(143115035535:86400)>>></tt> instead of <tt><<<windows_updates>>></tt> For more information please have a look at werk #8243.
