Title: Distributed: Master site has now also site specific global settings
Component: WATO
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.4.0i4
It is now possible to configure site specific global settings for the central
master site in distributed setups. In previous versions it was difficult to
set a configuration setting (like the number of check helpers) for the master
site and another value for the remote sites. You had to set the configuration
setting for each site individually which could be a problem when having a lot
of remote sites.
With this change the "Global settings" can now be handled as default
configuration settings for all sites while the site specific settings can be
configured on the site specific globals page which can be opened from the
distributed configuration page.
So you can now easily set a individual setting for the master site and leave
the configuration for the slave sites at the global defaults.

Title: Reworked the service discovery dialog
Component: WATO
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.4.0i4
The service discovery dialog of hosts has completely been reworked. It has been changed
to be more user friendly and make bulk actions more comfortable.
We have reduced the number of columns, moved the action icons to the first columns and made
the checkboxes for bulk actions optional. Each table has now it's own bulk actions. These
actions are performed on all rows of the table by default. If you enabled the checkboxes,
the actions are performed on the selected rows. The full scan button is now an action button
like the other actions.
Actions on that page will now make you stay on the page to see the result of your action.
The disabling of services is now totally done via the "disabled services" ruleset. For each
host a host specific rule is added to this ruleset for setting the disabled services you
choose in the service discovery dialog. If you have global rules that disable services and
choose to enable that service via the service discovery dialog, a "enable" rule is created
for the selected service.
This means the service discovery page creates up to two rules in "disabled services" for each
host, one positive and one negative rule. These rules have the description
"Discovery rule of '[hostname]'".

Title: Windows powershell scripts are now always called with the options -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.4.0i4
The -noprofile option improves the startup of the powershell interpreter.
The "-executionpolicy bypass" means that the agent will no longer check any
signatures of powershell scripts, since we don't provide them in ps1 script, anyway.

Title: active check check_sql: changed handling of query results and fixed hostname parameter
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.4.0i4
If the used SQL query results in only one column its value is shown in check output now. Otherwise the second column of the result is used for check output.
Also, the hostname parameter has been fixed to prevent erros like this:
Error while connecting to database: [2005] Unknown MySQL server host "10.11.12.13"
