Checkmk Werk 14561: Prometheus: allow operation of special agent without querying targets endpoint

by External contributor

ID: 14561 Title: Prometheus: allow operation of special agent without querying targets endpoint Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.2.0i1 Previously, the Prometheus special agent would query the endpoint `/api/v1/targets` regardless of what was configured in the Prometheus rule. This was an additional burden on users, which did not specify any scrape targets and therefore do not need this endpoint. E.g., it can lead to additional timeouts. With this werk, the endpoint `/api/v1/targets` is only queried if necessary.

Checkmk Werk 14768: mssql.vbs: some database specific sections contain data from a different database

by Lisa Pichler

ID: 14768 Title: mssql.vbs: some database specific sections contain data from a different database Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.2.0i1 If you require this fix, you must reinstall the agent plugin "mssql.vbs" on the relevant hosts. Please note that applying this fix could lead to vanished services. If this is the case, it makes sense to remove them from your monitoring, as these services belong to a different database and have been falsely created. You can find detailed error messages in the host's agent output. In some settings the user that is used to run queries against the various databases on a MSSQL server does not have access rights to query all databases. This could lead to data from a different database shown for any database that the user could not query. Known services affected by this error: LI: tablespaces LI: transactionlogs LI: datafiles LI: clusters The problem was that the error after attempting to switch to a different database was not captured, and it was assumed to be successful. Instead, the subsequent query was run against the database the user could last switch to. We have introduced a more consistent way to perform queries against the system and handle any errors.
