Check_MK Werk 0973: Renaming of hosts via WATO

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 0973 Title: Renaming of hosts via WATO Component: WATO Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.5i3 WATO has now a new function <i>Rename Host</i>. You will find a button with that name in the Properties of a host. It allows a renaming of an existing host. Before you can use that feature you need to have all changes activated, so nothing is pending. Renaming a host is a complex precedure that will not only rename the host in WATO, but also in: <ul> <li>all rules from <i>Host & Service Parameters</i></li> <li>cluster's node definitions</li> <li>a host's parent definitions</li> <li>Business Intelligence rules</li> <li>notification rules (both rule based and flexible notifications)</li> <li>internal Check_MK data like caches and performance counters</li> <li>auto-disovered services of the host</li> <li>logfile information of logwatch plugin</li> <li>stored SNMP walks</li> <li>RR databases with performance data</li> <li>RRD updates in journal of RRD Cache</li> <li>spool files of PNP4Nagios</li> <li>NagVis maps</li> <li>monitoring history entries (events and availability)</li> <li>the current monitoring state (including ackowledgements and downtimes)</li> </ul> Please note that renaming of a host involves a temporary stop of the monitoring core. This is neccessary in order to avoid situation where the old and the new name of a host is being used at the same time.

Check_MK Werk 2022: SNMP: Fixed handling of backslashes in SNMP data

by Lars Michelsen

ID: 2022 Title: SNMP: Fixed handling of backslashes in SNMP data Component: Checks & Agents Level: 2 Class: Bug Fix Version: 1.2.7i1 Some checks like the hr_fs checks e.g. create services with backslashes in the service descriptions when monitoring windows filesystems. Those services were named "Filesystem c:\\..." for example, which was using a double backslash which is wrong. This behaviour has now been changed to just use a single slash. With this change your services will be reported as UNKNOWN when you have such services with double backslashes in their names. You will then need to rediscover the services to get them with just a single slash. If you like to keep the performance graph history, you will need to migrate them on your own.

Check_MK Werk 1860: df and other filesystem checks: process total fs size as perfdata

by Goetz Golla

ID: 1860 Title: df and other filesystem checks: process total fs size as perfdata Component: Checks & Agents Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i1 Since the total size of a filesystem may change we store the total size as additional performance data and plot it with rrdtools like the used space. As a consequence another rrd database file is created for every filesystem, and slightly more disk space will be used for the rrd data of your site.

Check_MK Werk 1973: Added intelligent host and service type icons to default views

by Lars Michelsen

ID: 1973 Title: Added intelligent host and service type icons to default views Component: Multisite Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i1 The default list views of hosts and services show a new column, the type icon, by default now. The rendered icon is some kind of intelligent icon. It tries to detect which icon has to be shown for each host or service. This is done automatically based on the available information, for example which services are configured for a host or what is the name of a service. The currently implemented auto detection is far from being complete. It only contains some examples to show the new possibilites. This can be extended using icon plugins. For details take a look at the default <tt>plugins/icons/builtin.py</tt> code. If you like to change / override the icon by hand, you can configure the already existing rulesets "Icon image for hosts in status GUI" and "Icon image for services in status GUI". You can choose from the PNG icons available in <tt>htdocs/images/icons</tt>. If you use OMD, the default files are located in <tt>share/check_mk/web/htdocs/images/icons</tt>. You can place your own files in <tt>local/share/check_mk/web/htdocs/images/icons</tt>.
