[2.4.0] Checkmk Werk 16333 created: if_lancom: Switch port discovery does not work for Lancom routers when the router description is configured to be used for the Service Description

by Checkmk werks level 1

[//]: # (werk v2) # if_lancom: Switch port discovery does not work for Lancom routers when the router description is configured to be used for the Service Description key | value ---------- | --- date | 2024-02-01T16:48:01+00:00 version | 2.4.0b1 class | fix edition | cre component | checks level | 1 compatible | no Sometimes the Lancom routers don't provide a name. During data parsing this caused the description to be left as an empty string. As a result of that, when the router description was configured to be used for the Service Desciption, the discovery did not work properly. This has now been fixed by having a fallback mechanism. If the router name is not present, the router description will be used. Because of the change, the user is required to execute the service discovery again in order to discover any new services. As well as get rid of any vanished services.

[2.4.0] Checkmk Werk 16470 created: Fix pagetypes being falsely shown as public

by Checkmk werks level 1

[//]: # (werk v2) # Fix pagetypes being falsely shown as public key | value ---------- | --- date | 2024-02-01T08:01:39+00:00 version | 2.4.0b1 class | fix edition | cre component | multisite level | 1 compatible | no Previously, pagetypes (bookmarks, custom graphs, topics etc.) were falsely handled as public, rather than private. Items published only to specific groups are not affected and were handled correctly. This change may cause users to no longer see public overwrites by admins for example. Please ensure your permissions and publish states are configured correctly.

[2.4.0] Checkmk Werk 16048 created: Import Azure tags as service labels

by Checkmk werks level 1

[//]: # (werk v2) # Import Azure tags as service labels key | value ---------- | --- date | 2024-01-29T07:26:41+00:00 version | 2.4.0b1 class | feature edition | cre component | checks level | 1 compatible | yes Azure resource tags are now imported as service labels as well. Each service that is discovered for an Azure resource now holds the resource's tags as service labels. Also, you can now restrict the import of Azure tags via regex or disable the import altogether. This can be done in the rule "Microsoft Azure" via option "Import tags as host/service labels". Note that tags are validated to 1) not hold empty values - empty values are replaced by "true" and 2) not contain colons (":") - colons are replaced by underscores ("_"). So an Azure resource tag "tag:key":"" will now be shown as "tag_key":"true".

[2.4.0] Checkmk Werk 16047 created: Changed host labels for Azure Resource Groups and Virutal Machines

by Checkmk werks level 1

[//]: # (werk v2) # Changed host labels for Azure Resource Groups and Virutal Machines key | value ---------- | --- date | 2024-01-26T12:20:23+00:00 version | 2.4.0b1 class | feature edition | cre component | checks level | 1 compatible | no This werk affects users who use the tags of Azure Resource Groups or Virtual Machines (if monitored as hosts) as host labels in Checkmk. The host labels are renamed from the original Azure format "{key}":"{value}" to "cmk/azure/tag/{key}":"{value}" in order to stay consistent with other host labels and to avoid overwriting existing Checkmk labels. Additionally, label keys and values are now validated to 1) not hold empty values - empty values are replaced by "true" and 2) not contain colons (":") - colons are replaced by underscores ("_"). So a former label "label:key":"" will now be shown as "label_key":"true". The old labels will be removed in version 2.4.0.

[2.1.0] Checkmk Werk 16332 created: Fix for 'ERROR: Failed to read config of site' of existing site when creating a new one

by Checkmk werks level 1

Title: Fix for 'ERROR: Failed to read config of site' of existing site when creating a new one Class: fix Compatible: compat Component: omd Date: 1706696943 Edition: cre Level: 1 Version: 2.1.0p39 When creating a new site while having other sites the new site tries to determine the used ports of the other sites with checking their 'etc/omd/site.conf'. If this file is not accessible an error 'ERROR: Failed to read config of site ...' is shown. This happens e.g. if a root user with a restictive umask (e.g. 0077) creates a site. The site folder has then only owner and group permissions set while "other" does not have any permissions. After this site folder and the site user is created omd switches to that user and creates the file and folder structure with defined permissions. So that 'etc/omd/site.conf' is other-readable. Since the site folder is missing the executable permission for other this folder is not traversable therefore the files and folders beneath are inaccessible. With this change we make sure that the site folder has at least the executable permission for other. For already existing sites this change has no affect. If the error 'ERROR: Failed to read config of site ...' is still shown make sure that existing site folders have that other executable permission, e.g. by 'chmod o+x /omd/sites/\<SITENAME\>'.

[2.2.0] Checkmk Werk 16465 created: service discovery: introduce functionality to fetch job status from remote sites

by Checkmk werks level 1

Title: service discovery: introduce functionality to fetch job status from remote sites Class: fix Compatible: compat Component: rest-api Date: 1706523804 Edition: cre Level: 1 Version: 2.2.0p22 Prior to this werk, the service discovery endpoints were restricted to the local service discovery background job. This resulted in the following endpoints being restricted to local setups only: LI: Show the last service discovery background job on a host LI: Wait for service discovery completion This werk fixes this and now also supports distributed monitoring setups. To benefit from this change both the central site as well the remote sites need to be updated to the werk's version. This change does not affect local only setups.
