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 Rename Host. 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 Host & Service Parameters</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 2282: mkeventd: fixed exception in notification if the application field of the event was not set

by Andreas Boesl

ID: 2282 Title: mkeventd: fixed exception in notification if the application field of the event was not set Component: Event Console Level: 2 Class: Bug Fix Version: 1.2.7i1 Events without an properly set application field were not processed correctly by the Check_MK notification module. By nature, all events from the event console are always considered as service events. If the application field is empty the event was processed as host event, which lead to an exception.

Check_MK Werk 2231: More transparently show errors during service discovery

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 2231 Title: More transparently show errors during service discovery Component: Core & Setup Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i1 Checks might run into problems parsing the output of an agent plugin. When this happens during a normal check, you will soon know this as the according service goes UNKNOWN and you will be able to create a crash dump. Errors in single check plugins during service discovery, however, have been silently ignored unless you used <tt>--debug</tt> on the command line. This behaviour has been changed in the following way: H2:<tt>cmk -I</tt> on the command line Now for each files plugin a warning is being printed, but the discovery continues. <tt>--debug</tt> will let the Python exception come through and abort the discovery with a precise error message - just as it used to be. H2:Check_MK Discovery service The discovery check now in case of an error during the discovery goes to UNKNOWN and produces a crash dump - just as normal checks do. That way you can easily send us a crash report in case of any error. Previously error would be ignored silently. H2:Service list in WATO In WATO the list of a host's services will display a yellow error message if one of the plugins fails. This messages has a link for retrying the discovery without the error message and that way switch back to the old behaviours (temporarliy). H2:Bulk discovery in WATO The bulk discovery keeps to the old behaviour of silently ignoring errors but has got a new checkbox for letting a host fail if at least one check plugin of the host runs into an error. The default setting of the checkbox is to ignore errors.
