New build 0.4.0 fixes several issues and 0.4.1 status update...

Hello,

I have created a new build (176) of 0.4.0 it can be found under nightly builds in the download section. Please give it a twirl as I will update the official 0.4.0 in a day or so.

0.4.0

The main highlights are bugs fixes (as is the intent with 0.4.0 hence forth). New features are in 0.4.1.

  • Reading commands from config file should now work better
  • Log can be disabled.
  • "Fixes" for log getting spammed by PDH error "negative denominator". For a fix see ticket #436 which has a reg patch which sopousedly fixes this which is due to a hypervisor bug or so they say.
  • Fixed performance data parsing

See change log for full details.

0.4.1

0.4.1 also has a build out with a new one coming in the next few days or so. The highlights from the 0.4.1 enhancements are:

  • NRDP support (very early concept)
  • Huge improvement to real-time eventlog checking.
  • Cleaned up almost all -Wall warnings.
  • New improved socket handling (less bugs)
  • Initial support for true ssl (early concept)
  • Full (?) ipv6 support (including host validation)

Next up (for 0.4.1) are:

  • Proper NRDP support
  • check_mk support

Updates

And the big question: What would you like to see added/fixed? Feel free to let me know!

Also on my blog I posted a question asking for ideas on what to say when I go to OSMC (Yes, I will actually go this year, despite some previous rumors to the contrary). ​Check it out here

First of all, congratulations on your recent n00b. ;-)

Secondly, I was disappointed to see the state of 0.4.0.183 on one of my IPv6-only hosts; while it nicely listened on both 0.0.0.0 and ::, it continually responded "Rejcted connection from" (sic) regardless of whether I had an "allowed hosts" entry or not.

On a gander, I gave 0.4.1.58 a spin, and after a quick back-and-forth with "allowed hosts" (which I now realize is needed, fair enough), was happy to see check_nrpe connect just fine.

So, in short, thank you for making your project IPv6-capable. Conversely, I still have to patch the regular nrpe/check_nrpe. :-\

Have a nice day!

Good point, currently the default is 127.0.0.1, maybe I should add the ::1 as well...
