17    * a default-catch

39    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 ...

122 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
123 * 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.

140

165 * Fixed "broken password check" in NSClient listener

168 + Added support for empty NRPE checking (i.e.. chec_nrpe without a -c argument)
169 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
170 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)

1752006-10-05 MickeM
176 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
177 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
178   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
179 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
180   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
181   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
182   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
183   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
184   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
185   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
186
1872006-04-04 MickeM
188 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
189
1902006-04-02 MickeM
191 * Could all magicians stop trying to kill me?
192   *Please* i don't like to die!
193
1942006-03-31 MickeM
195 * Damn necromancers! stop 0wning my ass all the time!
196 
1972006-03-29 MickeM
198 + Added API for saving/reading settings
199 
2002006-03-28 MickeM
201 + Added REG/INI parsers
202 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
203
2042006-03-25 MickeM
205 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
206
2072006-03-02 MickeM
208 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
209
2102006-03-01 MickeM
211 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
212
2132006-02-26 MickeM
214 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
215
2162006-02-25 MickeM
217 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
218 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
219   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
220   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
221 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
222 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
223 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
224   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.
225   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.
226 - 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.
227 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
228 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
229 
2302006-02-2? MickeM
231 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
232   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
233 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
234   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
235   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
236   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
237 * 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).
238 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
239 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
240
2412006-02-12 MickeM
242 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
243
2442006-02-08 MickeM
245 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
246 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
247
2482006-02-07 MickeM
249 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
250 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
251
2522006-02-05 MickeM
253 + Added CheckFile check command
254   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
255 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
256 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
257 
2582006-01-21 MickeM
259 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
260   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
261   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
262   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
263   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
264   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
265   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
266   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
267   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
268  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
269
2702006-01-02 MickeM
271 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
272 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
273   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
274 * Fixed syntax of performance data
275
2762005-09-24 MickeM
277 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
278
2792005-09-20 MickeM
280 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh
281
2822005-09-17 MickeM
283 + Added support for checking service by display name
284
2852005-09-03 MickeM
286 * First off, sorry for lack of updates, but was on vacation :)
287 + Added ShowAll=long to CPULoad
288 + Added several new types to checkMem (type=paged, type=physical, type=page, type=virtual)
289
2902005-07-31 MickeM
291 + /install now sets the service to autostart
292 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
293 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
294 + Added service description
295 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
296
2972005-07-26 MickeM
298 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
299 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
300
3012005-07-19 MickeM
302 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
303 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
304
3052005-07-16 MickeM
306 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
307
3082005-07-11 MickeM
309 * *ALOT* of bug fixes and enhancements all checking code has been centralized and rewritten also my internal check scripts
310   have been extended to check a lot more things.
311   *NOTICE* that EventLog has not been upgraded yet neither has the documentation.
