Check_MK Werk 8304: New graphical frontend for metrics time graphs

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 8304 Title: New graphical frontend for metrics time graphs Component: Metrics System Level: 3 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i3 The Check_MK Enterprise Edition has now a new graphical user frontend for displaying metrics time graphs. Instead of using pixeled PNG images it makes use of interactive vector graphics using HTML 5. These graphs do not only look better. They allow you to: LI:Zoom horitontally using your mouse wheel LI:Zoom vertically by dragging points up and down LI:Scroll horizontally (into past and future) by dragging points left and right LI:Resize a graph using the right bottom corner If more than one graph is being displayed on the same HTML page then any zoom or shift in time will be synchronzed to all graphs on the same page. Also the reporting uses the new graphing engine and replaces the embedded pixel images by real vector graphics.

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 8358 Title: Automatic Check_MK Agent updates for Linux Component: Agent Bakery Level: 3 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i4 The Check_MK Agent Bakery now allows for automatically updating Check_MK Agents via HTTP/HTTPS.

Fullfil all of the prerequisites that are shown on that new pages. This involves creating agents that contain the new plugin with a valid configuration and enabling the deployment. 3. Install the new prepared agents on the target hosts of your choice. 4. Call <tt>cmk-update-agent register</tt> on these systems in order to register the agents for updates. 5. Don't forget to enable the agent deployment's master switch!

Check_MK Werk 8394: New graph designer for creating custom graphs

by Mathias Kettner

ID: 8394 Title: New graph designer for creating custom graphs Component: Metrics System Level: 3 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.7i4 With the new custom graphs you can now create performance graphs with arbitrary metrics from arbitrary hosts and services.

There are several paths to the graph designer: LI:Click on the context menu of an existing graph and select Add all metrics of this graph to: new custom graph LI:Go to a host or service detail, there to Service Metrics, use the small icon of one metric and select Add this metric to custom graph... LI:Press EDIT in the Views, Bookmarks or Reports-Snapin and click the new button Custom Graphs at the top

Check_MK Werk 8638: Fixed broken notifications when Check_MK notification spooler not enabled (regression since 1.4.0i2)

by Lars Michelsen

ID: 8638 Title: Fixed broken notifications when Check_MK notification spooler not enabled (regression since 1.4.0i2) Component: Notifications Level: 3 Class: Bug Fix Version: 1.4.0i3 When updating an existing site to 1.4.0i2 or 1.4.0i2p2 while not having the "Check_MK notification spooler" enabled via "omd config", the notification system stopped sending notifications. The background is that the default notification mechanism had been changed from direct delivery to asynchronous delivery. And this was done even when the notification spooler, which is responsible for delivering the asynchronous notification, was disabled. The notifications are not lost, they have simply not been processed. In case you are affected, there should exist one file for each notification that has been created but was not delivered below <tt>var/check_mk/notify/spool/</tt>. To fix this issue just install the new version. After the update all notification will be sent out. In case you want to supress the stuck notifications, you can go to the directory mentioned above and remove the <tt>.mk</tt> files in this directory before starting the site again. To make it work for you with the existing versions, you can execute "omd config" and go to "Distributed Monitoring > MKNOTIFYD" and enable this option. After starting the site again, all your notifications will be processed and are sent to the users.
