Checkmk Werk 11480: snmp_info, mgmt_snmp_info: Add host label "cmk/device_type" discovery

by Ronny Bruska

ID: 11480 Title: snmp_info, mgmt_snmp_info: Add host label "cmk/device_type" discovery Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 1.7.0i1 >From now on, the sysDescr is parsed for the following strings: <li>appliance</li> <li>controller</li> <li>firewall</li> <li>printer</li> <li>router</li> <li>sensor</li> <li>switch</li> <li>ups</li> If one string (foo in this example) is found, the host will discover the host label <b>"cmk/device_type:foo"</b>. Because sysDescr is the only reliable way to get the device type from a snmp device, but not every description contains the strings above, we also have to add device specific host labels via the regarding check plugins like cisco_wlc_clients. This will be added with further werks. The implementation takes care, that the device specific host label always wins about the strings in snmp_info and mgmt_snmp_info.

Checkmk Werk 11484: Management Board: Remove explicit check plugins

by Ronny Bruska

ID: 11484 Title: Management Board: Remove explicit check plugins Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.0.0i1 The only difference of check plugins for Management Boards was the resulting service description. In case, the plugin was related to a Management Board, the prefix "Management Interface:" was set by the check plugin. As the discovery now handles this scenario, the explicit check plugins are not needed any more. Note: If you use local checks that use plugin sections that have an equivalent Management Board section, changes on that checks also affect the processing of the Management Board plugin section, e.g. <<<snmp_info>>> on <<<mgmt_snmp_info>>>.

Checkmk Werk 11495: Remove dokuwiki from standard Checkmk packages

by Lars Michelsen

ID: 11495 Title: Remove dokuwiki from standard Checkmk packages Component: Other Components Level: 2 Class: New feature Version: 2.0.0i1 Dokuwiki has been delivered with Checkmk since the introduction of OMD. It has certainly helped some users to quickly create documentation in their monitoring site. But for Checkmk 2.0 we decided to remove Dokuwiki from the standard packages. The Dokuwiki package causes increased effort and complexity because it has to be maintained by us, including the plugins that have been selected and implemented. The main problem here is: We support different Linux distros in different versions. These platforms provide different PHP versions by default (currently PHP 5.4 to 7). To all these versions we have to keep Dokuwiki and the plugins compatible. Upstream, however, Dokuwiki has removed support for such old PHP versions. This would increase the effort for us significantly if we want to support all platforms equally well. If you have been using Dokuwiki in a Checkmk site so far, there are ways to do so. Dokuwiki can be installed into the local hierarchy of a site and run from there. You are responsible for the installation and maintenance of the installation yourself. It would even be possible to create an MKP to share the installation with other users. The Checkmk sidebar snapin "Wiki" has also been removed from Checkmk. If you want to use it, you can find it at "share/doc/check_mk/treasures/wiki_sidebar_snapin.py" in your site. Copy the file to "local/share/check_mk/web/plugins/sidebar/" and restart your site apache to make the snapin available to the GUI.

Checkmk Werk 11345: Use correct periods for AWS

by Timotheus Bachinger

ID: 11345 Title: Use correct periods for AWS Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.0.0i1 The Special Agent for AWS uses the passed time since midnight for the cache interval for some sections. However AWS does only allow specific values for the periods. This is now ensured with this werk. Background information: AWS expects "period" to be an integer and a multiple of 60 for metrics. For metrics with high resolution, also the values 1, 5, 10, 30 and 60 are allowed. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_Metric…
