Component: Checks & Agents

Negative values are used by the device to report "special" conditions. Unfortunately these aren't
documented so current interpretation is only based on observation.

Title: WATO can now add contact groups from hosts also to services
Component: WATO
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i4
In WATO in a host or folder you can assign contact groups to hosts.
The new checkbox <i>Always add host contact groups also to its services</i>
allows you now to also assign these groups to the services of the host.
Here is some explanation from the online help:
<i>With this option contact groups that are added to hosts are always being
added to services, as well. This only makes a difference if you have assigned
other contact groups to services via rules in Host & Service Parameters. As
long as you do not have any such rule a service always inherits all contact
groups from its host.</i>

Title: SNMP community in WATO is now always displayed with ******
Component: WATO
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i4
This is due to security. SNMP communities are basically passwords and should
not be shown in plaintext in the GUI. Of course this change makes it harder
to read existing rules. If that is a problem for you then you can add the
plaintext community to the comment field of a rule. Alas - security is always
linked with inconveniance...

Title: Reorganize BI configuration into packs, add contacts and permissions
Component: BI
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i4
The WATO module for configuring Business Intelligence (BI) has been
reorganized. The configuration is now split up into <b>Packs</b>. This has
been made for two reasons:
LI:It makes the configuration of large BI environments easier
LI:It allows to delegate BI configuration to normal users
Each pack contains rules and aggregations. A rule or aggregation in one pack
<b>can</b> refer to rules in another pack.
Each BI pack can have a list of contact groups. A new permission has been
introduced: <i>Business Intelligence Rules and Aggregations</i>. Per default
this is set for normal users. It allows a normal user to configure rules
and aggregations in a BI pack if that user is in one of the listed contact
groups of that pack.
A pack can have the checkbox <i>Allow all users to refer to rules contained
in this pack</i> set. That way a user can use rule from a pack where he is
not a contact for. So the admin can put some basic rules there that can be
used but not changed by other.
Your existing BI configuration will automatically be converted the next
time you use the WATO Bi modul. All existing rules and aggregations will
be put in to one BI pack with the name <i>Default Pack</i>.

Title: snmp_extended_info: new inventory function which discovers the model name and serial number
Component: HW/SW-Inventory
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i4
The information about model name and serial number is discovered on all SNMP devices on which
the OIDs "1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.4.1" or "1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.4.1001" have value zero.
This means the device itself.
