Check_MK Werk 5527: ucd_mem, hr_mem: Prefer ucd_mem check for certain Cisco IronPort models

by Konstantin Büttner

ID: 5527 Title: ucd_mem, hr_mem: Prefer ucd_mem check for certain Cisco IronPort models Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.5.0i2 For certain Cisco IronPort devices, the OIDs defined in the Host Resources MIB provide bogus data. This can be avoided by using the ucd_mem check instead for these devices. To benefit from this fix, the affected devices need to be rediscovered.

Check_MK Werk 5416: Prevent MS Exchange checks from crashing upon WMI timeout

by Jukka Aro

ID: 5416 Title: Prevent MS Exchange checks from crashing upon WMI timeout Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.5.0i2 Werk #5411 introduced the identification and handling of WMI timeouts. Some of nested subsections, at least those of MS Exchange, may under certain circumstances produce an unprecedented order of output lines suddenly ending in a WMI timeout. This scenario was not expected when preparing #5411, causing the parsing of some MS Exchange subsections to fail and the corresponding check to crash. This fix ensures that a WMI timeout is properly parsed regardless of where it appears in a subsection output. The corresponding checks no longer crash but issue a PENDING/UNKNOWN result.

Check_MK Werk 5267: cmk-update-agent: New binary format of Agent Updater executable on Linux

by Andreas Umbreit

ID: 5267 Title: cmk-update-agent: New binary format of Agent Updater executable on Linux Component: agents Level: 2 Class: New feature Version: 1.5.0i2 The cmk-update-agent executable is now implemented as a packaged binary executable. This werk consists of many changes that have partly already been applied to Check_MK 1.5.0i1. The new format addresses several problems and yields some improvements: * Better compatibility: All requirements regarding the installed Python Interpreter or other packages/programs were eliminated; the only requirements left are a x86_64 processor architecture and a glibc 2.5 or above. * More convenient communication to Check_MK Server: All GET-Requests have been replaced with according POST-Requests. This improves security as sensitive data is no longer sent within the URL of the HTTP(S) request. * Only one copy of cmk-update-agent: The copy of cmk-update-agent previously placed under /usr/bin/cmk-update-agent has been replaced by a shell script that executes the actual cmk-update-agent executable situated at the Check_MK Agent plugin directory. This eliminates the need to maintain two places when manually replacing cmk-update-agent for debugging reasons. However, it is still possible to execute a copy of the cmk-update-agent executable directly. * Notably, there will be no more problems with curl and because all communication is now done via python-requests, which is included within the cmk-update-agent executable as mentioned above.

Check_MK Werk 5415: Make Windows section openhardwaremonitor backwards compatible

by Jukka Aro

ID: 5415 Title: Make Windows section openhardwaremonitor backwards compatible Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.5.0i2 Version 1.4.0 'corrected' the naming of section openhardwaremonitor. Unfortunately, this broke the backwards compatibility of old ini files that still call this 'ohm'. The fix maps the old name to the new one so that both old and new ini files work. Moreover, the agent bakery was still writing ini files with the old name. Now the agent bakery is also fixed.

Check_MK Werk 5264: cmk-update-agent: Improve logging under windows

by Andreas Umbreit

ID: 5264 Title: cmk-update-agent: Improve logging under windows Component: agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.5.0i2 With this werk, the Agent Updater ensures that there is a logging infrastructure (i.e. log-dir within agent-installation-dir) is available when running as plugin. Additionally, an MSI-Installation log will be written on update if there is a log-dir available.

Check_MK Werk 5265: cmk-update-agent: Enable Agent Updater to update itself on Windows

by Andreas Umbreit

ID: 5265 Title: cmk-update-agent: Enable Agent Updater to update itself on Windows Component: agents Level: 2 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.5.0i2 When triggering an update under Windows, the agent updater could not be replaced by its new downloaded version because it was still running from the corresponding file. This situation is now mitigated by restarting the agent updater from within ../temp when running from plugins-dir. This is relevant only for a manual execution of cmk-update-agent.exe
