New nightly up with mainly fixes to a handful of issues. from the changelog
2009-01-25 MickeM * Fixed issue with checkVersion (#242) * Fixed spelling error (#244) * Fixed crash in CheckFile when a file was locked in exclusive mode (#254) + Improved error handling in all CheckDIsk/CheckFile checks. Should report errors better now. * Updated the config file a bit: remving "beta" from a bunch of modules no longer in beta. (#270) + Added more filter operatos to all numeric filters so they accept eq:, ne:, gt:, lt: in addition to =, >, <, <>, !, !=, in: (#269)

New nightly up!
New experimental build system as well as some fixes. I need to check linkage and such and make sure it wont require a lot of 3:d party modules so use with care. It also features a 16bit support for CheckProcState as well as a complete rewrite to make the process enumeration better faster and perhaps most of all safer.
2009-01-23 MickeM * Cleaned up the checkProcState code and it is not a lot better. - Removed race conditions (crashes?) as well as improved perfoamnce and better error handling. + Added new option 16bit to checkProcState. When set checkProcState will enumerate all 16 bit processes found running under NTVDM. * Fixed NRPE version reported "incorrectly". (Version is now takedn from NSClient++) 2009-01-21 MickeM + Added experimental 16 bit process support to checkProcState
New nightly up!
A new nightly build up. This is an up coming 0.3.6 witch features a brand new build system (boost build). Notice this build is still built from within visual studio but it can be built with boost as well but currently the renaming of the zip-file and upload has not been fixed (which I hope to do shortly).
The new version also features some important fixes to two fairly important bugs
- Handle leak inside the External Scripts module
- Broken CheckWMI (when no filter was specified).
It also has a brand new module for helping track down leaks and such:
- A_DebugLogMetrics.dll If you enable this module a file will be created under %APP_DATA%/nsclient++/process_info.csv which contains important metrics like handles, memory and such. This is very helpful if you suspect there is a memory leak inside NSClient++.
It is important to understand that this will SEVERELY impact performance in a negative way as all commands will be routed through it so don't enable unless you want to check for a problem. Full changelog is here:
2009-01-20 MickeM * Fixed issue with CheckWMI when no filter was specified. 2009-01-17 MickeM + Added new command line option pdhlookup (to CheckSystem) to lookup index from names. Probably not usefull to anyone but me :) Usage: "nsclient++ -noboot CheckSystem pdhlookup Antal bindningsreferenser" * Fixed so PDH Collectors use the same exception as the rest of the PDH stuff (might give better errors when PDH breaks, but I doubt it) * removed debug output from -noboot + Added new command line option pdhmatch to use pattern matching on PDH queries Usage: nsclient++ -noboot CheckSystem pdhmatch \Process(*)\Antal trådar * Improved error reporting in the PDH subsystem. + Added new module A_DebugLogMetrics.dll which can be used to generate debug info. Enable the module and a file called process_info.csv will be created under %APP_DATA%/nsclient++/process_info.csv which contains metrics. * Fixed handle leak in CheckExternalProcess and NRPEListsner (executing commands). 2009-01-13 MickeM * Fixed issue with 64-bit installer (now installs under Program Files (and not x86) + Brand new build enviornment based upon boost build!!! Use batch file to build (release-build.bat or modify to make your own) * Modified /about so it now shows a lot of usefull(?) info. 2008-11-13 MickeM + Added truncate option to checkServiceState 2008-09-24 MickeM * Imroved the installer (now auto-updates the version when built)
