[2.3.0] Checkmk Werk 15292 adapted: Changelog will only contain Werks from current major version

by Checkmk werks level 1

Werk 15292 was adapted. The following is the new Werk, a diff is shown at the end of the message. Title: Changelog will only contain Werks from current major version Class: fix Compatible: compat Component: wato Date: 1693224813 Edition: cre Knowledge: doc Level: 1 Version: 2.3.0b1 Checkmk has a built in changelog viewer that shows Changelog items called "Werks". For previous versions of checkmk it showed "Werks" for all versions of Checkmk. It turned out that the changelog was not complete: For previous major versions of Checkmk not all Werks were displayed. As there is little benefit to display Werks of previous major versions of checkmk we decided to remove those. The whole list of all Werks is available on our homepage: https://checkmk.com/werks When updating to a new major version, the update process will check if there are unacknowledged werks and tell the user about this, as this list will no longer be available after the update. This check is omitted for remote sites in a distributed configuration environment, as long as both the remote site and the central site are running at least version 2.3.0 of Checkmk. ------------------------------------<diff>------------------------------------------- Title: Changelog will only contain Werks from current major version Class: fix Compatible: compat Component: wato Date: 1693224813 Edition: cre Knowledge: doc Level: 1 Version: 2.3.0b1 Checkmk has a built in changelog viewer that shows Changelog items called "Werks".

[2.3.0] Checkmk Werk 15976 created: mssql_backup: Correct timezone difference for last backup date

by Checkmk werks level 1

[//]: # (werk v2) # mssql_backup: Correct timezone difference for last backup date key | value ---------- | --- compatible | yes version | 2.3.0b1 date | 2023-10-10T14:45:30+00:00 level | 1 class | fix component | checks edition | cre This werk is relevant for users monitoring the age of the last backup time of mssql databases in different timezones. The date/time of the last backup of a mssql database is currently stored in local host time without the information about the host timezone. When this time is used to check the age of the last backup, it is interpreted in the Checkmk server timezone. When using different timezones, this leads to incorrect values for "Age of last database backup" and if the age is negative, in newer Checkmk versions to the warning "Cannot reasonably calculate time since last backup (hosts time running ahead)". The mssql agent plugin will now store the time in UTC and the mssql_backup check will interpret the time accordingly. You will need to update the agent plugin mssql.vbs to receive the corrected times.

[2.3.0] Checkmk Werk 15839 adapted: Connection state of interface on Windows is supported out-of-the-box

by Checkmk werks level 1

Werk 15839 was adapted. The following is the new Werk, a diff is shown at the end of the message. [//]: # (werk v2) # Connection state of interface on Windows is supported out-of-the-box key | value ---------- | --- date | 2024-02-22T08:27:57+00:00 version | 2.3.0b1 class | feature edition | cre component | checks level | 2 compatible | yes Previously, users were required to install an additional plugin to determine the state of a network interface on Windows. With the current release, this functionality is now integrated directly into the Windows agent, eliminating the need for extra plugins. For enhanced consistency across operating systems, network interfaces that are operational are now marked as `up`, and those that are not available are marked as `down`, aligning with the terminology used on Linux. This change may lead to critical alerts with interfaces correctly reported as `down`, which have been in that state for a long time but were previously erroneously reported as `Connected`. ------------------------------------<diff>------------------------------------------- [//]: # (werk v2) # Connection state of interface on Windows is supported out-of-the-box key | value ---------- | --- date | 2024-02-22T08:27:57+00:00 version | 2.3.0b1 class | feature edition | cre component | checks level | 2 compatible | yes Previously, users were required to install an additional plugin to determine the state of a network interface on Windows.
