Title: Cascading livestatus proxy is now possible
Component: Livestatus Proxy
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 1.5.0b2
It is now possible to cascade livestatus proxy configurations. This comes in
handy to build cascaded distributed GUI (status GUI) setups.
The feature has been build for a scenario like this:
<ul>
<li>A distributed setup where you have remote sites that are not directly
reachable</li> <li>These remote sites are only reachable through a single
"location master" site</li> <li>You use the "location masters" for
configuration of all the related sites</li> <li>The central site is only used
as central operating site (overview, reporting) and not for configuration</li>
</ul>
To get a cascading setup, configure Check_MK like this:
<ul>
<li>Location master: Create one site in "Distributed configuration" for each
local site. Configure the connection parameters to use the Livestatus Proxy.
Set the new option to open a TCP port for this connection and insert a TCP port
that is currently not used on the local machine (e.g. 6560).</li> <li>Central
viewer site: Create one site in "Distributed configuration" for each remote
site. Configure it to use the Livestatus Proxy. Set the destination IP address
to the IP address of the "Location master" server and set the TCP port to the
port you configured for the site in the previous step.</li>
</ul>
After this you should be able to connect to your cascaded remote sites through
the Livestatus Proxy of the "Location master".

Title: Fixed SNMPv3 credential handling in the event console.
Component: Event Console
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.6.0i1
Although it is not really useful, the list of engine IDs, for which a given
set of credential parameters should be used, can be empty. Previously this
lead to a traceback in the EC log and missing credentials for SNMP traps.
This has been fixed.
Another bug was in the handling of the noAuthNoPriv security level, where
the wrong user name was used. This, too, has been fixed.
