131 * Fixed "broken password check" in NSClient listener
132
1332006-11-18 MickeM
134 + Added support for empty NRPE checking (i.e.. chec_nrpe without a -c argument)
135 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
136 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)
137 * Fixed : (and possibly other problems) in counters when checking from check_nt (via NSCLient protocol)
138 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
139 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
140
1412006-10-05 MickeM
142 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
143 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
144   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
145 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
146   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
147   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
148   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
149   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
150   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
151   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
152
1532006-04-04 MickeM
154 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
155
1562006-04-02 MickeM
157 * Could all magicians stop trying to kill me?
158   *Please* i don't like to die!
159
1602006-03-31 MickeM
161 * Damn necromancers! stop 0wning my ass all the time!
162 
1632006-03-29 MickeM
164 + Added API for saving/reading settings
165 
1662006-03-28 MickeM
167 + Added REG/INI parsers
168 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
169
1702006-03-25 MickeM
171 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
172
1732006-03-02 MickeM
174 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
175
1762006-03-01 MickeM
177 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
178
1792006-02-26 MickeM
180 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
181
1822006-02-25 MickeM
183 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
184 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
185   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
186   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
187 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
188 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
189 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
190   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.
191   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.
192 - 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.
193 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
194 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
195 
1962006-02-2? MickeM
197 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
198   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
199 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
200   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
201   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
202   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
203 * 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).
204 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
205 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
206
2072006-02-12 MickeM
208 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
209
2102006-02-08 MickeM
211 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
212 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
213
2142006-02-07 MickeM
215 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
216 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
217
2182006-02-05 MickeM
219 + Added CheckFile check command
220   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
221 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
222 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
223 
2242006-01-21 MickeM
225 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
226   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
227   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
228   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
229   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
230   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
231   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
232   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
233   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
234  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
235
2362006-01-02 MickeM
237 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
238 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
239   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
240 * Fixed syntax of performance data
241
2422005-09-24 MickeM
243 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
244
2452005-09-20 MickeM
246 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh
247
2482005-09-17 MickeM
249 + Added support for checking service by display name
250
2512005-09-03 MickeM
252 * First off, sorry for lack of updates, but was on vacation :)
253 + Added ShowAll=long to CPULoad
254 + Added several new types to checkMem (type=paged, type=physical, type=page, type=virtual)
255
2562005-07-31 MickeM
257 + /install now sets the service to autostart
258 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
259 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
260 + Added service description
261 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
262
2632005-07-26 MickeM
264 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
265 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
266
2672005-07-19 MickeM
268 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
269 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
270
2712005-07-16 MickeM
272 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
273
2742005-07-11 MickeM
