Title: Use hard states in BI aggregates
Component: BI
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.5i1
Check_MK BI is now able to base the computation of the state of an BI aggregate
on hard states of hosts and services. This is a new option at the top level
of a BI aggregate. In WATO this is a new check box in each aggregation called
<i>Base state computation on hard states</i>.
When you edit your BI aggregates with a text editor then simply prefix
your aggregation entries with the keyword <tt>HARD_STATES</tt>. Here
is an example:
F+:etc/check_mk/multisite.d/mybi.mk
host_aggregations += [
( HARD_STATES, 'Hosts', FOREACH_HOST, ['tcp'], ALL_HOSTS, 'host', ['$1$']),
]
F-:
<b>Note</b>: Please make sure that all of your monitoring sites are
updated to the same Check_MK version as your Multisite server. This new
BI features needs an up-to-date Livestatus implementation.

Title: New bulk notifications
Component: Notifications
Level: 3
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.5i1
The new rule based notifications now also support a new feature called <i>Bulk Notifications</i>. The
idea is to send multiple notifications, that are created within a short time frame, within one email and
not as separate emails. This can help in situations where due to some general problem dozends of
notifications would happen in a sort time. Also it can be used in order to create something similar
to mailing list digests: you can get informed about all problems once a day. Please refer to the
<a href="http://mathias-kettner.com/checkmk_rbn.html">online documentation</a> for details.

Title: cmc: fixed bug displaying logentries after a logfile rotation
Component: Core & Setup
Level: 2
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.5i1
The Check_MK microcore didn't cleanup cached logfiles correctly.
Thus caused missing logentries, when accessing views like
"Host and Service Events" or "Search global logfile".
The logentries itself were not lost, just unavailable in views.
The problem could be fixed by restarting (not reloading) the cmc.

Title: New rules based notifications
Component: Notifications
Level: 3
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.5i1
Check_MK comes now with a completely new notification system called <i>Rule Based
Notifications</i>. While keeping the flexibility of the <i>Flexible Notifications</i>
it is easier to configure and at the same time even more flexible. Please
refer to <a href="http://mathias-kettner.com/checkmk_rbn.html">the online documentation</a>
for details.
Rule based notifications are turned off per default. They do not harm you in
any way as long as you do not enable them. If you turn them on then your current
flexible notification settings are <i>not</i> being converted!
