Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i1

These checks also provides the number of messages as performance data.

Title: New matrix views for displaying performance data of service in a matrix table
Component: Multisite
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i1
Multisite has got a new layout: the <i>Matrix</i>. It allows to group and
compare values of a similar set of services on a list of hosts and many
other things. This layout uses the group columns for creating vertical
matrix columns (e.g. the host name) and the first normal column for creating
horizontal columns (e.g. the service description). All further columns
(most times just one) are displayed in the cells.
This new layout has been used to create two new views: a global view <i>Search
performance data</i> in the topic <i>Metrics</i> and one that can be accessed
in the details of a host group. Both show all services of the selected hosts
of of the search in a host by services matrix. Simply try it out!

Title: Restructured Event Console rules into packs
Component: Event Console
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i1
The Event Console now groups event rules into <i>Packs</i>. If you update
to the new version you will find all your existing rules to be contained in
the pack <i>Default rule pack</i>. The execution of the rules within a pack
is just as it was in the global list of rules before. But now you can have
several packs. The execution of the rules is done in the order of the packs
and within each pack in the order there. This helps you to keep on overview -
especially if you have a lot of rules.
But there are a couple of more advantages from the packs:
<ul>
<li>You can easily reorder packs as a whole</li>
<li>Packs can be disabled as a whole</li>
<li>Event simulation can show matching rules on the level of the packs</li>
<li>Rules can be moved from one pack to another</li>
<li>A new rule option in <i>Actions and Outcome</i> can be used to
have a rule skip all other rules in the same pack and continue with the
next one. That way
you can for example create a pack <i>Oracle</i>. As a first rule
you match for <tt>(?!ORA-)</tt> and set the rule type to
<i>Skip this rule pack</i>. That way if a message arrives that does
<i>not</i> contain <tt>ORA-</tt> all of the following rules in that
pack will <i>not</i> by tried out. This can make your configuration
easier and also will speed up the Event Console since the number
of rule tries is being reduced.</li>

Title: The Event Console can now translate incoming SNMP traps
Component: Event Console
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i1
The Event Console can be configured to receive SNMP traps. In the past it
only extracted all raw OIDs and values from the incoming trap and putting
them together in the event message as they come in.
Now it is possible to use SNMP MIB files to let the Event Console translate
the OIDs, values and units contained in the traps.
This feature is disabled by default. You need to enable the Event Console
and the SNMP trap handling by using <tt>omd config</tt> in OMD environments.
Then you need to enable the trap translation in <i>Event Console > Settings</i>
by setting <i>Translate SNMP traps</i> to <i>on</i>. Finally you need to
activate the pending EC-Change.
Now all available MIBs will be used to translate the incoming traps.
You can now upload custom MIB files using the MIB management page at
<i>Event Console > SNMP MIBs</i> which will be used for translation after
reloading the Event Console.

Title: Fix exception in rule based notifiations with Nagios core and event type filter
Component: Notifications
Level: 2
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i1
When using Nagios as a core and the list of allowed events contains flapping
or downtime events and the previous hard state cannot correctly be determined
(due to <tt>max_check_attempts</tt> being greater as) then an exception
could have happened. This has been fixed.
