Checkmk Werk 14361: Windows agent uses retry_count correctly

by Sergey Kipnis

ID: 14361 Title: Windows agent uses retry_count correctly Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.2.0i1 Previously, Windows agent used retry_count as a maximal allowed count of plugin's failures. If the count of failures exceeded the limit set by retry_count, then the plugin had been excluded from execution. Such behavior may break monitoring or updating in some cases. Since this release, the retry_count is defined as a maximally allowed count of attempts to call a plugin before clearing the previously gathered data (also known as a cache). This approach is fully compliant with the documentation, the help and the functionality of the Linux agent. The incompatibility in this werk is limited by definition: the Windows agent will continue to call a plugin even if the number of errors exceeds retry_count. This is the same behavior as when retry_count is not set at all. IMPORTANT: Windows agent always ignores retry_count for synchronous plugins. Windows agent may decrease value of retry_count if the value is set too high.

Checkmk Werk 14482: Use proper HMAC for cookie signing

by Maximilian Wirtz

ID: 14482 Title: Use proper HMAC for cookie signing Component: Setup Level: 1 Class: Security fix Version: 2.2.0i1 Previously to this Werk the Session cookies were signed with with calculating a SHA256 hash over username, session id, a serial plus a secret. This could in theory lead to a "partial message collision". Since we parse the data given in the cookie and test for validity, we are confident that such an attack is not possible. But to be future-proof we switch to proper HMAC for signing the cookie value. This will invalidate all session cookies for a site. Therefore all users have to reauthenticate to retrieve new valid cookies.

Checkmk Werk 14360: Controller communicates with Windows agent using mailslot

by Sergey Kipnis

ID: 14360 Title: Controller communicates with Windows agent using mailslot Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 2.2.0i1 Previously, the Windows agent controller used TCP-IP as a channel to local Windows agent, but this type of communication can lead to port conflicts. Also, mailslots inherently provide slightly better level of local security. If, for some reason it is required to use TCP-IP as a channel, you may set system.controller.agent_channel in the check_mk.user.yml to any appropriate value, for example, "localhost:28250".

Checkmk Werk 14666: ps - Size per processes: Change graph visual display order

by External contributor

ID: 14666 Title: ps - Size per processes: Change graph visual display order Component: metrics Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.2.0i1 For graphs of "ps" containing information about "Size per processes" the visual ordering of the graphs is fixed. Before "Resident size" and "Virtual Size" were stacked on top of each other, which was wrong. Resident size is a subset of virtual size. The data of the graph "Resident size" is now visually in front of the other graphs.
