Checkmk Werk 10993: Diagnostics: New WATO mode for diagnostic analysis purposes

by Simon Jess

ID: 10993 Title: Diagnostics: New WATO mode for diagnostic analysis purposes Component: WATO Level: 2 Class: New feature Version: 1.7.0i1 In order to improve error analysis there's a new WATO mode {{Diagnostics}}. With this new mode you can collection some general information about the Checkmk server and version. Details can be found on the {{Diagnostics}} page. In the future this mode will be extended with specific diagnostics elements, eg. information about local files. This mode will help you to analyse error situations. Another purpose is to have an interface for collecting information for our support, your customers or simply for your own analysis. The diagnostics information are stored within tar files in the folder {{var/check_mk/diagnostics}}. At the moment maximal five of these tar files are stored. This number is not configurable. There's also a command line option for collecting diagnostics information and collects information about the Checkmk site where it's executed. C+: cmk --create-diagnostics-dump [OPTIONS] C-: Note: The {{Diagnostics}} mode does not solve any problems. It's just a data collection which consolidates some commands and therefore facilitates error analysis.

by Lars Michelsen

ID: 11078 Title: Dynamic configuration: Add connector plugin API Component: DCD Level: 2 Class: New feature Version: 1.7.0i1 The Dynamic configuration is now loading plugins that are located below the path <tt>local/lib/check_mk/cee/dcd/plugins/connectors/</tt>. You can find a minimal example connector implementation it in your site at <tt>lib/check_mk/cee/dcd/plugins/connectors/example_connector.py</tt>. You may use this as base for your own connectors. To enable this connector, you need to copy it to the plugin directory mentioned above and uncomment the registry registration lines in the plugin (See TODO). To be able to configure connections based on this connector in the GUI, you also need to deploy a GUI plugin. An example can be found in your site at <tt>lib/check_mk/gui/cee/plugins/wato/example_dcd_connector.py</tt>. This needs to be placed in the WATO plugin directory of your site. You also need to uncomment the registry registration line in the plugin (See TODO).
