Check_MK Werk 5539: Improved performance of pages showing many graphs

by Lars Michelsen

ID: 5539 Title: Improved performance of pages showing many graphs Component: metrics Level: 2 Class: New feature Version: 1.5.0i2 Previously the GUI was loading all graphs in the progress of rendering a view. The view was rendered to the user once the information for all graphs is known. This mechanism made pages that show a lot of graphs load slowly. With this change the views are now rendered with a place holder for each graph which is a lot faster. After the view has been loaded for the user, the browser starts to render the graphs asynchronously and simultaneously which will also reduce the total time needed for loading.

Check_MK Werk 5465: Fixed calculation of standard deviation.

by Sven Panne

ID: 5465 Title: Fixed calculation of standard deviation. Component: Livestatus Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.5.0i2 Note: This fixes only a slightly esoteric feature, namely "Stats: std ..." headers. Normal users are not affected, only those using this header via self-written scripts. Livestatus incorrectly used a bias correction when calculating the standard deviation. For more mathematical background see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel%27s_correction http://mathworld.wolfram.com/StandardDeviation.html

Check_MK Werk 5463: Report invalid table names via response header.

by Sven Panne

ID: 5463 Title: Report invalid table names via response header. Component: Livestatus Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.5.0i2 Even when "ResponseHeader: fixed16" was used, an invalid table name in a GET request was not reported via Livestatus (only in the log file of the monitoring core). This was a regression compared to 1.2.8 and has been fixed.

Check_MK Werk 5549: mk_oracle.ps1: Fixed scattered information for configuration

by Marcel Arentz

ID: 5549 Title: mk_oracle.ps1: Fixed scattered information for configuration Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.5.0i2 Information about the correct configuration of the oracle plugin for windows has been scattered around serveral places in Check_MK. As for now all needed information is available in the script itself.

Check_MK Werk 5538: Improved performance when processing a large amount of piggyback data

by Lars Michelsen

ID: 5538 Title: Improved performance when processing a large amount of piggyback data Component: Core & setup Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 1.5.0i2 When Check_MK needs to handle a large amount of piggyback data (a lot of piggbacked hosts from a lot of piggyback source hosts, several hundreds to thousands), the performance of Check_MK could decrease during regular monitoring. This was caused by some too expensive house keeping logic that was executed too often. The mechanism has now been changed to work like this: <ul> <li>During regular monitoring now piggyback data is removed anymore from the disk.</li> <li>New piggyback data is written to disk when communicating with the source host.</li> <li>When monitoring piggybacked hosts, the outdated piggyback data available on the disk is filtered.</li> <li>There is a dedicated housekeeping cron job executed sites crontab daily at 00:10 which removes outdated piggyback data. This job is mostly used to free up some tmpfs space, the outated stored data is not read by monitoring anymore.</li> </ul>

Check_MK Werk 5411: Windows agent: handle WMI timeouts

by Jukka Aro

ID: 5411 Title: Windows agent: handle WMI timeouts Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.5.0i2 All sections depending on WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) queries have been suffering from periodic freezing, the time interval between subsequent freezes being typically 18...20 minutes. At those moments, the Windows agent has not been delivering any output for some of its WMI-dependent sections (e. g., ps, uptime, dotnet_clrmemory, wmi_cpuload, msexch and wmi_webservices). The corresponding checks have issued error messages of type "Missing agent sections...". Various strategies have been previously used attempting to cope with the periodic problems with WMI. Werk #4008 introduced a timeout of 10s in order to prevent the agent from completely blocking if a WMI query freezes. However, this led to the described problem of missing agent output totally when no response was given to a WMI query within 10s. Moreover, multiple WMI queries waiting for 10s after another led to periodic long execution times of the Windows agent. This Werk introduces a new strategy for coping with the periodic freezing of WMI queries. The timeout of the queries is reduced to 2.5s instead of 10s per query, reducing the total execution time of the Windows agent by approximately 75% when the problem occurs. Upon a WMI timeout, the Windows agent issues it in its output so, that the affected checks can tolerate it by setting their state to UNKNOWN. In normal cases, the check should get back to OK when the agent is contacted the next time and the WMI freeze is most likely gone. There seems to be a connection of the WMI freezes to the Windows service WMI Performance Adapter. https://lokna.no/?p=1430 suggests that the startup type of this service be set to automatic, ensuring the service is running. Without this, the WMI Performance Adapter seems to get started periodically when WMI is queried. Testing with WMI Performance Adapter service running has showed clear signs of improvement, reducing the frequency of freezing WMI queries even if not completely ending them.
