Check_MK Werk 1425: New section header option "encoding"

ID: 1425 Title: New section header option "encoding" Component: Checks & Agents Level: 1 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.5i6 If you write your own check plugins you might know that a section header can contain additional options separated by a colon.<br> For example <tt><<<lnx_distro:sep(124):persist(141442125)>>></tt><br><br> An additional option <tt>encoding</tt> has been introduced. Generally all check plugins should output valid utf-8 encoded text. In some instances this is not possible, because the plugin itself has its own hardcoded encoding. With the encoding option you can specify the encoding for this entire section.<br> Check_MK will decode the given section output and recode it into utf-8 for further processing.
