Check_MK Werk 0017: local: New state type P for state computation based on perfdata

ID: 0017 Title: local: New state type P for state computation based on perfdata Component: Checks & Agents Level: 1 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.3i7 The section <tt>&lt;&lt;&lt;local&gt;&gt;&gt;</tt> now allows a new state marker <tt>P</tt> (next to <tt>0</tt>, <tt>1</tt>, <tt>2</tt> and <tt>3</tt>). When setting this marker, the check plugin computes the state according to the levels contained in the performance data. Take the following example: F+: <<<local>>> P Environment temp=30;28;35|humidity=33;40:60;35:70;0;100 This is a text F-: The check will first check the variable <tt>temp</tt>. It's current value is <tt>30</tt>. The levels are at <tt>28</tt> and <tt>35</tt> for warning and critical, resp. Because 30 is greater then 28 this will trigger a warning. The second performance value <tt>humidity</tt> has both lower and upper levels for warning and critical - separated by a colon. The current value is 33, which is lower than the lower critical level of <tt>35</tt>. This will make this variable und thus the total check critical. H2:Notes <ul> <li>It is allowed to use fractional values like <tt>35.12</tt>.</li> <li>If the current value exactly matches a level, the <i>better</i> state is being used. This is not consistent with the usual levels in Check_MK checks, but is neccessary if you want to have just one single value to be OK.</li> <li>When using <tt>P</tt> then the current values of all variables are appended to the plugin output. If you want you can omit the your additional text at all in that case.</li> <li>When you use <tt>P</tt> and do not supply performance data or do not supply levels, the status will always be <b>OK</b>.</li> </ul> Example for a <tt>local</tt> line without a text: F+: <<<local>>> P Environment temp=30;28;35|humidity=33;40:60;35:70;0;100 F-: The output will be: C+: Environment CRIT - temp 30.0 > 28.0(!), humidity 33.0 < 35.0(!!) C-:
