Checkmk Werk 10601: Auto migration of check plugins to new section definitions

by Moritz Kiemer

ID: 10601 Title: Auto migration of check plugins to new section definitions Component: Checks & agents Level: 2 Class: New feature Version: 1.7.0i1 We are now converting all plugins in the share/check_mk/checks and local/share/check_mk/checks to the new format expected by the future API. Although we are trying to migrate as many check plugins as possible on the fly, for some plugins this may fail. These are the anticipated reasons why auto-migration may fail: <h4>A complex snmp scan function</h4>: If checkmk fails to auto-migrate a legacy snmp plugin to a section definition, this is most likely due to an elaborate scan function. For the auto-migration to work, the scan function must be fairly simple. Make sure your scan function has the following properties: <ul> <li>it only consists of one single return statement</li> <li>it does not in turn call other functions (not even 'all' or 'any')</li> <li>it does not negate compound expressions</li> </ul> If in doubt, take a look at scan functions that succeed to be migrated to see what options are available.

by Lars Michelsen

ID: 10879 Title: View CSV export: Add titles of icons to exported columns Component: Multisite Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.7.0i1 In previous versions, the CSV export completely removed the HTML code of icons from the cells, which resulted in some cells containing only icons being completely empty. Now the hover titles of icons are displayed in the CSV exports instead of icons.

Checkmk Werk 10689: Checkmk Python may be installed with Windows Agent

by Sergey Kipnis

ID: 10689 Title: Checkmk Python may be installed with Windows Agent Component: Checks & agents Level: 2 Class: New feature Version: 1.7.0i1 With this release Checkmk monitoring software has got a possibility to install and to use Python-3 together with the Windows Agent. It is now possible to develop agent plugins on Windows using Python. It is now also possible to build real cross-platform plugins (like e.g. mk_logwatch) The Checkmk Python can be installed either automatically(the default), if any of deployed plugins need it, or manually, if a user of the Checkmk software needs Python-3 functionality on the host. At the moment the Checkmk Python has version 3.8.1 and will be deployed in the directory <tt>%ProgramData%\checkmk\agent\modules\python-3.8</tt>. The Python will be updated in the future versions together with the agent. We also ship a collection of useful Python modules, at the moment pyyaml and colorama. Also it is possible to install arbitrary Python modules using Checkmk Python's pip. By default the Checkmk Python will be used as interpreter for all plugins with extension .py. It is possible to change this behaviour with WATO and .py scripts will be interpreted using Windows system Python. All plugins with extension .checkmk.py will be interpreted with Checkmk Python if Checkmk Python is installed. Important: Checkmk Python doesn't interfere with Windows Operation System (registry, installer, paths, etc) and may be removed at any moment. It means two important consequences: 1. The Windows Control Panel doesn't have a dedicated entry for Python. It is installed as a component of the Checkmk Windows Agent. 2. Checkmk Python isn't added to the Windows PATH environment variable.

Checkmk Werk 10954: ucd_mem: count buffered and cached memory as free

by Joerg Herbel

ID: 10954 Title: ucd_mem: count buffered and cached memory as free Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 1.7.0i1 For memory checks based on the output of a UCD SNMP deamon (check ucd_mem), cached and buffered memory are now counted as free memory. This is consistent with the behaviour of the agent for Linux systems. As a result, the memory usage displayed by checkmk for hosts with this service might decrease if buffered and cashed memory are part of the SNMP information given to checkmk.
