Title: Added user login session idle timeout
Component: Multisite
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
It is now possible to configure a login session idle timeout globally or for each user
individually. When a user logs in and leaves the GUI open without interacting with it,
Check_MK does not invalidate the users login session. The login is valid until the user
closes the window or logs out. With the new option enabled, it is possible to configure
a maximum allowed idle time after which each user has to renew the login.

Title: Show type of rule match of a rule (first, per-parameter, all) in WATO
Component: WATO
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
This additional information makes it clearer to the user whether a just the
first matching rule defines the parameter, or further matching rules can
have influence, too.

Title: Logwatch pages now work in distributed environment without HTTH reverse proxy
Component: Multisite
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
The web pages for viewing and acknowledging files from logwatch checks now no longer
need a HTTP reverse proxy setup but simply work. The use Livestatus - just like the
other status data. This means that in the Enterprise Edition you can now drop the
reverse proxying totally. In the Raw Edition you still need it for the performance
graphs from PNP4Nagios.
In a manual setup you need to tell the Livestatus Nagios-Module where it finds
the logwatch files with the option <tt>mk_logwatch_path=.....</tt>. Specify the
absolute path to the base directory where Check_MK stores the logwatch files.
This path always ends with <tt>/logwatch</tt>.
Note: You need to update Livestatus / Check_MK on all remote sites. If you just
update the central site then the logwatch GUI will stop working.

Title: The host alias can now be used in BI aggregates
Component: BI
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
When matching for hosts in BI aggregations it is now possible to match
hosts with regular expressions by their host alias instead of the host name.
Additionally it is now possible to use the host alias in the titles of the
aggregations.
Instead of using $1$ for matchin the host name or the host alias, you can now
use the variables $HOSTNAME$ or $HOSTALIAS$ to use them in your BI rules.

Title: Event Console can now process SNMPv3 traps
Component: Event Console
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
The Event Console can now process SNMPv3 traps send with SNMPv3. To be able to receive
the traps, you will have to configure the SNMPv3 credentials to be used for decrypting
the received traps. This can be done in the Event Console configuration using the
option <i>Credentials for processing SNMPv3 traps</i>.
For each sending server you need to configure the credentials and the systems engine ID
which is normally generated automatically by the SNMP device. Some devices also support
setting engine IDs on your own. However, the SNMPv3 specification requires that each
SNMP device has it's own unique engine ID. To be able to decrypt the traps you need to
configure this engine ID together with the other SNMPv3 credentials for each trap sending
device.

Title: Do not send host notifications if a service group is required
Component: Notifications
Level: 2
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.9i1
If you set a match condition on the service groups then for host notifications
this condition was ignored. But a host cannot be in any service group so now
if you use this condition then the rule will never match for host notifications.
This should be the way that you expect this.

Title: AIX agent: Cached local scripts / plugins need to be configured in seconds
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 2
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.9i1
When using cached executin of local scripts or agent plugins (putting scripts
in subdirectories named like the execution interval) with the AIX agent, the
directory names were interpreted as minutes which was not consistent with the
other agents.
This has now been changed to be consistently interpreted as seconds. You will
have to rename your directories to the current name multiplied with 60 to
execute the plugins again in the expected interval.

Title: mtr (Matt's traceroute): New agent plugin
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
mtr combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
For further information have a look at the mtr manpage.
This plugin collects data for every hop to the destination address and creates a plethora
of performance values for round trip average, package loss and standard deviation.
Keep in mind that services for this new check require quite a large amount of RRD space, due to
the large number of performance values. Roughly ~23MB for 10 network hops to a target destination.

Title: Change default setting of Precompile aggregations on demand to ON now
Component: BI
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
The global setting {{Precompile aggregations on demand}} improves the
performance of BI in case where not all aggregations are needed at once. This
is especially true for the case of single-host aggregations. This setting
now exists for a long time and we have finally regarded that feature as
stable enough in order to make it the default.
We might remove the setting from WATO totally in future.
