Previously only the 'percent used' combination worked correctly.

Checkmk Werk 10677: Windows plugins and local checks can be called using non-system account

by Sergey Kipnis

ID: 10677 Title: Windows plugins and local checks can be called using non-system account Component: Checks & agents Level: 2 Class: New feature Version: 1.7.0i1 Previously the plugins and local check were always called using Windows System account. Such approach could restrict access to some resources, for example, network shares. Now this problem has been resolved. The new ruleset in Bakery <tt>Run plugins and local checks using non-system account</tt> gives the possibility to run any Windows script using a given user account. There are two modes of the rule: group mode, in this case Windows Agent provides its own internal user in the requested group to run a script. user mode, in this case the credentials for the given user account must be fully specified. The group mode is more secure, because no credentials need to be stored anywhere, except in the agent internally. When using the user mode, the provided credentials are stored on all Checkmk servers to which the configuration is applied. Also, the credentials will be baked into the distributed to target systems agent bakery packages(MSI files). The same functionality in Raw Edition can be achieved using Agent configuration file. To set group mode for desired plugin pattern you should assign the name of the local group to the key <tt>group</tt>. To set user mode for desired plugin pattern you should assign string with user name and password separated with one space to the key <tt>user</tt>. Detailed example you may found in the provided configuration file. We highly recommend using the group mode whenever possible.

Checkmk Werk 10758: redis_info.persistence: New check to monitor Redis persistence

by Ronny Bruska

ID: 10758 Title: redis_info.persistence: New check to monitor Redis persistence Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 1.7.0i1 With this check you can monitor Redis instances. The check gets input from the redis-cli command "info" and the resulting "Persistence" section. It outputs the state of the last RDB (Redis Database Backup) save and AOF (Append Only File) rewrite operation. Furthermore the time of the last successful RDB save and the number of changes since the last dump. Needs the agent plugin "mk_redis" to be installed.

Checkmk Werk 10678: Windows Agent fileinfo generates output entries for glob patterns in all cases

by Sergey Kipnis

ID: 10678 Title: Windows Agent fileinfo generates output entries for glob patterns in all cases Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.7.0i1 Previously, if Windows Agent couldn't find files matching to an entry with a glob pattern of <tt>fileinfo</tt> section, then the Agent wrote nothing and Check MK monitoring site may wrongly decide, that the service doesn't exist. Now <tt>fileinfo</tt> generates such entries always. If no files match to a glob pattern in config, then the Agent creates a line with keyword <tt>missing</tt>.

Checkmk Werk 10618: New versioning of CMC configs

by Mathias Laurin

ID: 10618 Title: New versioning of CMC configs Component: Core & setup Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 1.7.0i1 The config files to CMC are now versioned. When the core detects an incompatible version, it provides instructions to the user to generate a new configuration instead of crashing with a segmentation fault. The new versioning scheme is consistent with the versioning of the state files. Note: This patch requires that the configuration be generated once more with <tt>cmk -U</tt>.
