14 * Fixed Graphite client using wrong time for datestamp
15 * Added so debug NSCA logs host name
16
172012-06-16 MickeM
18 * Initial (rather crude) NRDP support.
19
202012-06-16 MickeM
21 * Merged in master branch
22 * Fixed almost all -Wall warnings (the rest are probably not getting fixed in the near future due to their nature)
23 
242012-06-12 MickeM
25 * Improved error handling in performance counters #436

29 * Added log level = off to disable logging.
30 * Added option in NSCAClient to hostname (auto-lc) to use lower case version of hostname. #533
31 * Reworked how commands are read.
32   If a command is defined without a section (default) no section will be added and instead a comment will be addded on how to add the section.
33   This should (I hope) resolve the "missing command" for good.

274
2752012-02-01 MickeM
276 * Implemented full settings API for LuaScript (next RC will have to wait till next weekend)
277
2782012-01-31 MickeM1
279 * Fixed issue with parsing "invalid external commands".
280   If parsing falies it will notify you but use the legacy split string method instead.
281 * LuaScript module is now modern (ie. works with 0.4.0)
282   Should be 99% compatbile (function needs to be defined before registration) but all old scripts should work now (I think)
283 * LuaScript module has been modernized
284   The new API is very similar to Python
285   Concepts are working but not all commands have beenh implementes (and no testcases either)
286   The old API will still work
287 * Fixed issue with
288
2892012-01-27 MickeM
290 * Changed CheckCounter format option to take a coma separated list of keyword from the below list:
291         nocap100: Counter values above 100 (for example, counter values measuring the processor load on multiprocessor computers) will not be reset to 100. The default behavior is that counter values are capped at a value of 100.
292         1000: Multiply the actual value by 1000.
293         noscale: Do not apply the default scaling factor.
294         So format=nocap100,noscale would combine the two aspects above.
295
2962012-01-26 MickeM
297 * Fixed issue with parsing multiple performance data items (internally)
298 * Added option to CheckCounter format=nocap100 to not cap counters at 100% (for multi cpu machines)

315
3162012-01-19 MickeM
317 * Fixed some NSCA encryption bugs (of the random nature)

364 * Added WarnHungCount/CritHungCount exact bounds to CheckProcState so:
365   CheckProcState CritHungCount=gt:50 WarnHungCount=ne:45 svchost.exe
366 * Changed so Count takes presedence meaning if you specify: CheckProcState CritCount=gt:50 svchost.exe=stopped it will be treated
367   as (CheckProcState CritCount=gt:50 svchost.exe) hence the stopped/started is meaningless if you specify a count.
368 * Fixed so perfoamnce data parsin handled non escaped \:es (ie. using stupiud parsing)

1115   New option: cmdLine will toggle so full command lines are used instead of just process names.
1116 + Added regular expression matching to process checks
1117   New option: match=regexp (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
1118 + Added substring matching to process checks
1119   New option: match=substr (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
1120   This is *NOT* case blind so might be hard to use, plan to add case blindness to it in the future.
1121 : Sample command: check_nt ... -v PROCSTATE -l cmdLine,match=regexp,.*exp.* -d SHOWALL
1122 * Ohh yeah... it is 2008 this year... not 2007, fixed a few entries in the change log :)
1123 - BREAKING CHANGE! -- Removed TOOLHELPER API as PSAPI is simpler and toolhelp is really only useful on w9x (which I don't officially support)

1139
11402008-03-08 MickeM
1141 * Changed so log is now in Unicode format
1142   Hopefully this will make it simpler to diagnose PDH issues in "strange locales".
1143   If anyone hates this let me know and I will add an option to use "old ansi log".
1144 * Fixed so the console is logged as ANSI (properly) and all Unicode's are discarded.
1145   This means "strangeness" in Unicode and non-us-ascii chars on the console,
1146    so for details refer to the log-file which is proper Unicode.
1147 + Since log module is loaded "after" the client has booted I added a "hello" message that prints the current version
1148    (if you find this annoying let me know, I will make it optional :)
1149 * Fixed some issues in the registry handling
1150
11512008-03-06 MickeM
1152 * Fixed silly ordering bug with the <> syntax.
1153
11542008-03-05 MickeM
1155 + Added debug to new section [Eventlog], when enabled it will (log) what lines matched what, this is a pretty big performance overhead so don't run with this one.
1156 + Added syntax to new section [Eventlog] used as a shorthand for the syntax to use as "default" (when no syntax=... option is given)
1157 * Fixed an issue with eventlog and . matching.
1158 + Added shorthand ! for != in "all" numeric filters (eventlog)
1159 + Added <> (same as ! and !=) as NRPE breaks the use of ! (in "all" numeric filters (eventlog))
1160   Try using: filter-eventType=<>warning to remove everything that is not a warning
1161 * Fixed two spelling mistakes in the SysTray module.
1162 * Fixed 64-bit issues with installer
1163 * Fixed so installer uninstalls/installs the service

11682008-02-22 MickeM
1169 * Fixed issues in the NRPE module (now returns the correct status)
1170 + Added a lot of "error log" for when the packet size in NRPEListener is not correct
1171    (might make it simpler to diagnose problems)
1172
11732008-02-20 MickeM
1174 + Added new module NRPEClient that can act as a NRPE client, might be useful for testing things and
1175   eventually for relaying events.
1176   Usage: nsclient++ -noboot NRPEClient -H 192.168.0.1 -p 5666 -c check_something -a foo bar
1177   This is an early concept so don't expect much...
1178 * Fixed a bug in NSCA module (now it works again :)
1179 + Added a command wrapper for the NRPECLient module so now it can act as a check command.
1180   (No argument handling yet though), For a sample check out the [NRPE Client Handlers] section in NSC.ini
1181
11822008-02-19 MickeM
1183 + Fixed a buffer overflow in the NRPE socket handling.
1184 
11852008-02-18 MickeM
1186 + Added proper output handling to process subsystem (now you can execute programs that return "much" data.
1187 + Added select support for SSL_write (now you can send "any amount of data" to the (SSL) socket.
1188   Since check_nrpe doesn't do this it wont work in that end, but still...
1189
11902008-02-16 MickeM
1191 + Re factored ExternalCommand handling so NRPE and new module does the same thing.
1192
11932008-02-14 MickeM
1194 + Added so commands starting in host_ (NSCA Handlers) are sent as host-commands
1195 * Fixed a copy constructor in NSCA Commands (now service checks are sent as service checks)
1196
11972008-02-13 MickeM
1198 + Added string_length to [Settings] as well (used internally) for all "injected" buffers.
1199 * Fixed issue with scripts result truncated after 1024 chars
1200    (now they return "all" output and thus you can use the NRPE settings I added yesterday :)
1201 + Added hostname setting to [NSCA] section (must have been  when I did not add it before)
1202 + Added to NSCA truncates output when to long.
1203
12042008-02-12 MickeM
1205 + Added new option for the [NRPE] section string_length which is the length of the NRPE strings
1206   (notice you need to recompile the check_nrpe to match this value)
1207 * Improved exception handling in the PDH collector (hopefully less deadlocks)
1208
12092008-02-11 MickeM
1210 + Added encryption support for NSCA module (about half of the algorithms are available,
1211     if someone wants to use one not available let me know, and I will try to add it)
1212
12132008-02-09 MickeM
1214 + New module CheckExternalScripts to handle 1, external script (similar to the old NRPE but in its own module)
1215   - Can Check batch/vbs/programs/*
1216   - Works with NSCA module (if you don't want to have NRPE at the same time)
1217   - Simpler syntax (discarded old and added new section for alias)
1218   - Started to add "sample alias" to ease initial setup and give some nice ideas (please provide me with feedback on them)
1219
12202008-02-08 MickeM
1221 + Added some more default catch handlers (on the "core" side of plugin-calls).
1222
12232008-02-07 MickeM

1235 + Added API for scripts to register commands
1236 + Added command descriptions (for some modules)
1237 * Fixed issue in NRPE that displayed a console window when running commands
1238 * New improved "inject" dialog from the system tray
1239   Lists available commands, and shows command descriptions and a lot of other improvements.
1240 + Added an internal log windows that displays log in real-time.
1241 + Fixed some issues with the dialog procs (should work smoother now, especially Termination)
1242
12432008-02-02 MickeM
1244 * Might have fixed the "missing eventlog messages" problem.

1248 * Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
1249 * Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check
1250 + Added %message% to eventlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer.
1251   For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set
1252   In short: /nrpe -H 192.168.0.147 -c checkEventLog -a truncate=1024 "syntax=%generated%: %message%" descriptions=true file=System MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 filter+eventType==error filter+generated=\<12h filter=new filter=all filter=in
1253 + Added option "unique" to CheckEventLog If this is present only unique errors will be returned.

1290 + added support for  <date strings> to check_nt:s FILEAGE command, Issue #39
1291    append: .<date string> if you want to use a "custom date" like so: ... -v FILEAGE -l c:\\windows,Date: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" -w 5 -c 6 ...
1292    Only the above listed %<char> works, and default to 0 so might not be to pretty but works...

1307 * Fixed some missing exceptions that were not caught
1308 + Added "AliasCol" option to CheckWMIValue to allow a column to be used as "alias" for a result set:
1309     CheckWMIValue -a "Query=select Caption, ThreadCount from Win32_Process" MaxWarn=50 MaxCrit=100 Check:threads=ThreadCount AliasCol=Caption
1310    will give you: "System threads: 98 > warning, svchost.exe threads: 87 > warning"
1311 - Removed  from SVN (as it is old and outdated and no longer used)
1312
13132007-11-20 MickeM

1341
13422007-11-08 MickeM

1349
13502007-11-04 MickeM

1370 * Fixed #75 (spelling issue)
1371
13722007-06-23 MickeM
1373 * Might have fixed #53 I was not able to get the problem locally but I have fixed the problem ias at op5 discovered at least...
1374 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
1375 * Fixed problem with : in counter names #50 (anything starts with \ is considered a counter so if you use aliases with \ this will break things for you.
1376
13772007-06-20 MickeM
1378 * Fixed #24 crash in NSClient++.exe CheckSystem listpdh | debugpdh
1379 * Fixed #62 Problems with CheckServiceState and services with spaces.

1392
13932007-02-25 MickeM
1394 + Added possibility to check many memory checks in one go, just stack type options.
1395     type=paged type=physical etc...
1396 * Fixed a performance check bug in the last nightly.

1421 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
1422 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)
1423 * Fixed : (and possibly other problems) in counters when checking from check_nt (via NSCLient protocol)
1424 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
1425 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
1426
14272006-10-05 MickeM
1428 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
1429 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
1430   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
1431 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
1432   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
1433   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
1434   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
1435   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
1436   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
1437   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
1438
14392006-04-04 MickeM
1440 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
1441
14422006-04-02 MickeM

1451 
14522006-03-28 MickeM
1453 + Added REG/INI parsers
1454 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
1455
14562006-03-25 MickeM
1457 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
1458
14592006-03-02 MickeM
1460 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
1461
14622006-03-01 MickeM
1463 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
1464
14652006-02-26 MickeM
1466 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
1467
14682006-02-25 MickeM
1469 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
1470 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
1471   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
1472   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
1473 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
1474 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
1475 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
1476   This is an advanced setting and should not be used. If you get "connection refused" when running many client this might be something you want to tweak though.
1477   And if you then start getting "Socket timeout" you might wanna tweak the timeout value as well because larger value here means it takes "longer" to process a socket.
1478 - I have looked into the event log problem and dates seem to work here so if anyone still have problems (use the syntax option to debug) let me know.
1479 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
1480 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
1481 
14822006-02-2? MickeM
1483 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
1484   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
1485 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
1486   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
1487   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
1488   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
1489 * Removed the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag from the /install option so that it no longer defaults to on (see commands to set this above).
1490 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
1491 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
1492
14932006-02-12 MickeM
1494 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
1495
14962006-02-08 MickeM
1497 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
1498 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
1499
15002006-02-07 MickeM
1501 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
1502 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
1503
15042006-02-05 MickeM
1505 + Added CheckFile check command
1506   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
1507 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
1508 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
1509 
15102006-01-21 MickeM
1511 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
1512   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
1513   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
1514   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
1515   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
1516   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
1517   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
1518   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
1519   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
1520  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
1521
15222006-01-02 MickeM
1523 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
1524 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
1525   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
1526 * Fixed syntax of performance data
1527
15282005-09-24 MickeM
1529 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
1530
15312005-09-20 MickeM
1532 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh
1533

1541
15422005-07-31 MickeM
1543 + /install now sets the service to autostart
1544 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
1545 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
1546 + Added service description
1547 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
1548
15492005-07-26 MickeM
1550 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
1551 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
1552
15532005-07-19 MickeM
1554 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
1555 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
1556
15572005-07-16 MickeM
1558 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
1559
15602005-07-11 MickeM

1562   have been extended to check a lot more things.
1563   *NOTICE* that EventLog has not been upgraded yet neither has the documentation.
1564 + Added MaxWarnCount / MinWarnCount to checkProcState to check number of processes running
