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 2487: Remove dangerous Factory Reset button

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 2487 Title: Remove dangerous Factory Reset button Component: WATO Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i3 We removed the button Factory Reset completely from WATO. This button is dangerous. Also it does anyway just a reset of WATO - not of other data in the site like NagVis maps etc. For a real reset better remove and recreate the site with: C+: RP:omd stop mysite RP:omd rm mysite RP:omd create mysite C-:

Check_MK Werk 2486: Remove special handling for non-distributed-setups in WATO

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 2486 Title: Remove special handling for non-distributed-setups in WATO Component: WATO Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i3 The handling of the activation of changes of single site setups was completely different than the case where you have a distributed setup with more than one Check_MK site. In order to simplify code, documentation and user experiance this distinction now has been removed. A single-site setup now exactly looks like and behaves like a distributed setup with just one site. This has no influence on performance or security.

Check_MK Werk 2485: Fix Icon "BI Aggregations containing this service", also avoid BI compilation without need

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 2485 Title: Fix Icon "BI Aggregations containing this service", also avoid BI compilation without need Component: BI Level: 2 Class: Bug Fix Version: 1.2.7i3 This werk contains a fix and a speedup: The fix repairs the BI icon that is now contained in the drop down menu rather than directly in the view. The URL where the icon pointed was broken. The second change is a speedup: Pages that do not show BI aggregates now do now trigger BI compilation anymore. This is delayed until the command/icon menu is being opened. Here the BI icon needs to be displayed and hence the compilation triggered.

Check_MK Werk 2471: User IDs are now allowed to contain special characters (like German umlauts)

by Lars Michelsen

ID: 2471 Title: User IDs are now allowed to contain special characters (like German umlauts) Component: Multisite Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i3 Using the GUI it was not possible to create users having user IDs containing special characters like e.g. German umlauts. But in environments where user synchronizations with LDAP directories is used it might happen that users with sucht user IDs need to be synchronized into Check_MK. This was in possible in earlier versions, which lead to some kind of inconsistencies. To have a consistent situation for all users independent of their source, Check_MK now allows you to create users which user IDs contain special characters. If you already have configured a LDAP synchronization and set the option "Translate Umlauts in User-IDs" to "replace", your already synchronized users will be left untouched for the moment. But it is recommended to set this option to "Keep special characters" now to allow your users to use their normal user IDs for logging in. But please note, if you change this option, your users having special characters in user IDs are deleted and re-created with the new name during next LDAP sync. You will need to migrate the users profile (<tt>var/check_mk/web/[user_id]</tt>) to make them able to use their custom views, dashboards, bookmarks etc. again after renaming.

Check_MK Werk 2407: WATO master/slave replication: fixed problem where the configuration from the master site was not activate on slave site

by Andreas Boesl

ID: 2407 Title: WATO master/slave replication: fixed problem where the configuration from the master site was not activate on slave site Component: WATO Level: 2 Class: Bug Fix Version: 1.2.7i3 Changes made on a distributed WATO slave site could delay a configuration update attempt from the master. Detailed information: Any changes on a slave site which lead to a pending log entry triggered the cmcrushd. The cmcrushd creates a configuration for the microcore, which takes precendence over creating the configuration anew. When a snapshot got pushed from the master site, the slave site thought that there is already a precompiled configuration available and used the cmcrushd configuration. This problem is automatically resolved on the following configuration push from the master, because the cmcrushd configuration is only used once.
