Checkmk Werk 11277: Fix wrong allocation of colorant for printer supplies

by Jonas Kluger

ID: 11277 Title: Fix wrong allocation of colorant for printer supplies Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.7.0i1 For some printers the mapping of the colorant did not match to the description of the service. This mappings can vary depending on the manufacturer. The generic mapping was replaced by using the correct link between description and colorant.

If your printer has such a difference, please make sure to rediscover your host services.

Checkmk Werk 11267: if_fortigate: Use ifName as ifAlias

by Simon Jess

ID: 11267 Title: if_fortigate: Use ifName as ifAlias Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.7.0i1 The original check plugin {{if_fortigate}} uses the {{ifName}} under the guise of {{ifAlias}} because on Fortigate devices the {{ifName}} contains the technical interface names. By contrast {{ifDescr}} or {{ifAlias}} may contain user defined names. In the ruleset {{Network Interface and Switch Port Discovery}} under {{Appearance of network interface}} the item can be specified: Either use the {{Use index}}, {{Use description}} or {{Use alias}}. With the incompatible werk 6638 the {{ifName}} was substituted with {{ifAlias}}. This means that the technical interface names are not available any more. This werk reverts the check plugin back to its original state: use {{ifName}} as {{ifAlias}} in order to make these technical names available again. We cannot simply add another SNMP field because this may cause unforeseen performance loss. In the future we have to find a performant solution to make the following four SNMP fields available for item names: {{ifIndex}}, {{ifName}}, {{ifDescr}} and {{ifAlias}}. Thus if you have configure {{Use alias}} in the ruleset {{Network Interface and Switch Port Discovery}} under {{Appearance of network interface}} on Fortigate devices you have to rediscover these hosts.

by Ronny Bruska
