Title: esx_systeminfo: new inventory check to retrieve info about the host operating system for ESX servers
Component: HW/SW-Inventory
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i1

Title: Now able reclassify logwatch messages before forwarding them to the event console
Component: Event Console
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i1
You are now able to apply already existing logwatch patterns to the messages which
are sent to the event console. Each message can be reclassified to a different alert level
and even set to IGNORED, which causes a message not to be sent to the event console.
This pre-sorting might reduce the load of the event console.
Keep in mind that the logwatch pattern are configured by host and the logfile name.
These restrictions do also apply to the messages intented for the event console.
So you can configure a logwatch pattern specifially designed for a message from a certain logfile.
For example, you can reclassify any messages from a logfile <i>access.log</i> containing "C Login error" to
"I Login error". Any message of <i>access.log</i> containing the "Login error" pattern will therefore get ignored and
not sent to the event console.

Title: Keep track of changes of software and hardware
Component: HW/SW-Inventory
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i1
The HW/SW-Inventory module now keeps tracks of changes of the hardware and
software on a system: Each time an inventory is being done the outcome is
being compared with the data from the last time. If a change has been detected,
a copy of the previous inventory data is being stored for later reference (in
<tt>var/check_mk/inventory_archive</tt>). The check <tt>HW/SW Inventory</tt>
can be configured with the WATO ruleset <i>Do hardware/software Inventory</i>
to report a WARN or CRIT state if one of hardware or software has changed.
Secondly - if you are viewing details of a host - a button <i>Inventory
History</i> brings you to a new view of the historic development of the
host's hardware and software. At the beginning this button is hidden
behind the <i>[...]</i>-button (as usual). The history shows you each point
of time where at least one item of the inventory data has changed. That
way you can easily keep track of new installed software, exchanged
hard disks, BIOS updates and much more.

Title: viprinet_temp: Now uses new Temperature WATO rule
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i1
This check is no longer in the room_temperature group, but in the
temperature group. Old rules will therefore no longer apply.

Title: windows agent: fixed gaps in eventlog monitoring after agent restart
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 2
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i1
The windows eventlog monitoring was not entirely continuous.
After the agent started it determined determined the initial record number
for each eventlog. Per default the start number was the last record.
Thus resulted in monitoring gaps as long as the windows was not running, e.g. windows startup.
With this fix, the windows agent now uses a statefile (<tt>eventstate.txt</tt>) which
contains the last processed eventrecord ids for each eventlog.
On startup the statefile is read and the record numbers are set accordingly.

Title: kentix_temp: Now supports setting levels
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i1
Previously, this check only used the levels configured in the device.
Now, setting own levels is possible, as well as specifying which levels
have priority.
As the service description and the item name has changed, re-inventory
is required

Title: cisco_power, cisco_fan, cisco_temp_perf: fixed algorithm to determine check item for some special cases
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i1
For some Cisco switches the item name of sensors was incorrectly determined
from the snmp oid "ciscoEnvMonSupplyStatusDescr". When the status description
contains "Status is ..." or "PS1 ..." in the second field, this field was
incorrectly included in the item name.
The problem is fixed. Since the item name changes due to this fix, you need to
redo a service discovery.
To our knowledge this problem only affects the cisco_power check. cisco_fan
and cisco_temp_perf may theorectically be affected since the same algorithm
is used, but the status descriptions for these checks are different.
Example:
status description: "Sw1, PS1 Normal, RPS Normal",
old item name: "Sw1 PS1 Normal 3036",
new item name: "Sw1"

Title: Escaping event text of event console messages correctly in views
Component: Event Console
Level: 1
Class: Security Fix
Version: 1.2.7i1
Event texts of messages which have been processed by the event console
and resulted in a event might contain HTML code which is now escaped
correctly to prevent XSS attacks when shown in the event console views.
