15 * Fixed Graphite client using wrong time for datestamp
16 * Added so debug NSCA logs host name
17
182012-06-16 MickeM
19 * Initial (rather crude) NRDP support.
20
212012-06-16 MickeM
22 * Merged in master branch
23 * Fixed almost all -Wall warnings (the rest are probably not getting fixed in the near future due to their nature)
24

30 * Added log level = off to disable logging.
31 * Added option in NSCAClient to hostname (auto-lc) to use lower case version of hostname. #533
32 * Reworked how commands are read.
33   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.
34   This should (I hope) resolve the "missing command" for good.

272 * Implemented full API for LuaScript
273        Now "everything" (ish) works including channels, exec and query (via moderna API)

275
2762012-02-01 MickeM
277 * Implemented full settings API for LuaScript (next RC will have to wait till next weekend)
278
2792012-01-31 MickeM1
280 * Fixed issue with parsing "invalid external commands".
281   If parsing falies it will notify you but use the legacy split string method instead.
282 * LuaScript module is now modern (ie. works with 0.4.0)
283   Should be 99% compatbile (function needs to be defined before registration) but all old scripts should work now (I think)
284 * LuaScript module has been modernized
285   The new API is very similar to Python
286   Concepts are working but not all commands have beenh implementes (and no testcases either)
287   The old API will still work
288 * Fixed issue with
289
2902012-01-27 MickeM
291 * Changed CheckCounter format option to take a coma separated list of keyword from the below list:
292         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.
293         1000: Multiply the actual value by 1000.
294         noscale: Do not apply the default scaling factor.
295         So format=nocap100,noscale would combine the two aspects above.
296
2972012-01-26 MickeM
298 * Fixed issue with parsing multiple performance data items (internally)
299 * Added option to CheckCounter format=nocap100 to not cap counters at 100% (for multi cpu machines)

316
3172012-01-19 MickeM
318 * Fixed some NSCA encryption bugs (of the random nature)

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

1118   New option: match=regexp (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
1119 + Added substring matching to process checks
1120   New option: match=substr (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
1121   This is *NOT* case blind so might be hard to use, plan to add case blindness to it in the future.
1122 : Sample command: check_nt ... -v PROCSTATE -l cmdLine,match=regexp,.*exp.* -d SHOWALL
1123 * Ohh yeah... it is 2008 this year... not 2007, fixed a few entries in the change log :)

1140
11412008-03-08 MickeM
1142 * Changed so log is now in Unicode format
1143   Hopefully this will make it simpler to diagnose PDH issues in "strange locales".
1144   If anyone hates this let me know and I will add an option to use "old ansi log".
1145 * Fixed so the console is logged as ANSI (properly) and all Unicode's are discarded.
1146   This means "strangeness" in Unicode and non-us-ascii chars on the console,
1147    so for details refer to the log-file which is proper Unicode.
1148 + Since log module is loaded "after" the client has booted I added a "hello" message that prints the current version
1149    (if you find this annoying let me know, I will make it optional :)
1150 * Fixed some issues in the registry handling
1151
11522008-03-06 MickeM

1157 + Added syntax to new section [Eventlog] used as a shorthand for the syntax to use as "default" (when no syntax=... option is given)
1158 * Fixed an issue with eventlog and . matching.
1159 + Added shorthand ! for != in "all" numeric filters (eventlog)
1160 + Added <> (same as ! and !=) as NRPE breaks the use of ! (in "all" numeric filters (eventlog))
1161   Try using: filter-eventType=<>warning to remove everything that is not a warning
1162 * Fixed two spelling mistakes in the SysTray module.
1163 * Fixed 64-bit issues with installer
1164 * Fixed so installer uninstalls/installs the service

1170 * Fixed issues in the NRPE module (now returns the correct status)

1173
11742008-02-20 MickeM
1175 + Added new module NRPEClient that can act as a NRPE client, might be useful for testing things and
1176   eventually for relaying events.
1177   Usage: nsclient++ -noboot NRPEClient -H 192.168.0.1 -p 5666 -c check_something -a foo bar
1178   This is an early concept so don't expect much...
1179 * Fixed a bug in NSCA module (now it works again :)
1180 + Added a command wrapper for the NRPECLient module so now it can act as a check command.
1181   (No argument handling yet though), For a sample check out the [NRPE Client Handlers] section in NSC.ini
1182
11832008-02-19 MickeM
1184 + Fixed a buffer overflow in the NRPE socket handling.
1185 
11862008-02-18 MickeM
1187 + Added proper output handling to process subsystem (now you can execute programs that return "much" data.
1188 + Added select support for SSL_write (now you can send "any amount of data" to the (SSL) socket.
1189   Since check_nrpe doesn't do this it wont work in that end, but still...
1190
11912008-02-16 MickeM
1192 + Re factored ExternalCommand handling so NRPE and new module does the same thing.
1193
11942008-02-14 MickeM
1195 + Added so commands starting in host_ (NSCA Handlers) are sent as host-commands
1196 * Fixed a copy constructor in NSCA Commands (now service checks are sent as service checks)
1197
11982008-02-13 MickeM
1199 + Added string_length to [Settings] as well (used internally) for all "injected" buffers.
1200 * Fixed issue with scripts result truncated after 1024 chars
1201    (now they return "all" output and thus you can use the NRPE settings I added yesterday :)
1202 + Added hostname setting to [NSCA] section (must have been  when I did not add it before)
1203 + Added to NSCA truncates output when to long.
1204
12052008-02-12 MickeM
1206 + Added new option for the [NRPE] section string_length which is the length of the NRPE strings
1207   (notice you need to recompile the check_nrpe to match this value)
1208 * Improved exception handling in the PDH collector (hopefully less deadlocks)
1209
12102008-02-11 MickeM
1211 + Added encryption support for NSCA module (about half of the algorithms are available,
1212     if someone wants to use one not available let me know, and I will try to add it)
1213
12142008-02-09 MickeM
1215 + New module CheckExternalScripts to handle 1, external script (similar to the old NRPE but in its own module)
1216   - Can Check batch/vbs/programs/*
1217   - Works with NSCA module (if you don't want to have NRPE at the same time)
1218   - Simpler syntax (discarded old and added new section for alias)
1219   - Started to add "sample alias" to ease initial setup and give some nice ideas (please provide me with feedback on them)
1220
12212008-02-08 MickeM
1222 + Added some more default catch handlers (on the "core" side of plugin-calls).

1236 + Added API for scripts to register commands
1237 + Added command descriptions (for some modules)
1238 * Fixed issue in NRPE that displayed a console window when running commands

1249 * Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
1250 * Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check
1251 + Added %message% to eventlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer.
1252   For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set
1253   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
1254 + Added option "unique" to CheckEventLog If this is present only unique errors will be returned.
1255   The uniqueness is defined by event-log, event-source, event-id and event-category.

1291 + added support for  <date strings> to check_nt:s FILEAGE command, Issue #39
1292    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 ...
1293    Only the above listed %<char> works, and default to 0 so might not be to pretty but works...

1309 + Added "AliasCol" option to CheckWMIValue to allow a column to be used as "alias" for a result set:
1310     CheckWMIValue -a "Query=select Caption, ThreadCount from Win32_Process" MaxWarn=50 MaxCrit=100 Check:threads=ThreadCount AliasCol=Caption
1311    will give you: "System threads: 98 > warning, svchost.exe threads: 87 > warning"
1312 - Removed  from SVN (as it is old and outdated and no longer used)
1313
13142007-11-20 MickeM

1342
13432007-11-08 MickeM

1350
13512007-11-04 MickeM

1368 + Added Dutch performance counters to counters.defs
1369 + Added Spanish performance counters to counters.defs
1370 + Added #69 [includes] directive to INI-file to include other files
1371 * Fixed #75 (spelling issue)
1372
13732007-06-23 MickeM
1374 * 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...
1375 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
1376 * 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.
1377
13782007-06-20 MickeM
1379 * Fixed #24 crash in NSClient++.exe CheckSystem listpdh | debugpdh
1380 * Fixed #62 Problems with CheckServiceState and services with spaces.

1393
13942007-02-25 MickeM
1395 + Added possibility to check many memory checks in one go, just stack type options.
1396     type=paged type=physical etc...
1397 * Fixed a performance check bug in the last nightly.
1398 * Fixed a potential crash when a malformed check-file-age command was issued.

1422 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
1423 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)
1424 * Fixed : (and possibly other problems) in counters when checking from check_nt (via NSCLient protocol)
1425 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
1426 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
1427
14282006-10-05 MickeM
1429 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
1430 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
1431   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
1432 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
1433   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
1434   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
1435   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
1436   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
1437   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
1438   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
1439
14402006-04-04 MickeM
1441 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
1442
14432006-04-02 MickeM

1452 
14532006-03-28 MickeM
1454 + Added REG/INI parsers
1455 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
1456
14572006-03-25 MickeM
1458 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
1459
14602006-03-02 MickeM
1461 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
1462
14632006-03-01 MickeM
1464 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
1465
14662006-02-26 MickeM
1467 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
1468
14692006-02-25 MickeM
1470 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
1471 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
1472   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
1473   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
1474 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
1475 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
1476 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
1477   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.
1478   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.
1479 - 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.
1480 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
1481 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
1482 
14832006-02-2? MickeM
1484 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
1485   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
1486 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
1487   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
1488   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
1489   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
1490 * 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).
1491 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
1492 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
1493
14942006-02-12 MickeM
1495 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
1496
14972006-02-08 MickeM
1498 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
1499 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
1500
15012006-02-07 MickeM
1502 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
1503 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
1504
15052006-02-05 MickeM
1506 + Added CheckFile check command
1507   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
1508 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
1509 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
1510 
15112006-01-21 MickeM
1512 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
1513   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
1514   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
1515   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
1516   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
1517   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
1518   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
1519   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
1520   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
1521  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
1522
15232006-01-02 MickeM
1524 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
1525 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
1526   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
1527 * Fixed syntax of performance data
1528
15292005-09-24 MickeM
1530 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
1531
15322005-09-20 MickeM
1533 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh
1534

1542
15432005-07-31 MickeM
1544 + /install now sets the service to autostart
1545 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
1546 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
1547 + Added service description
1548 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
1549
15502005-07-26 MickeM
1551 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
1552 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
1553
15542005-07-19 MickeM
1555 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
1556 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
1557
15582005-07-16 MickeM
1559 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
1560
15612005-07-11 MickeM
1562 * *ALOT* of bug fixes and enhancements all checking code has been centralized and rewritten also my internal check scripts
1563   have been extended to check a lot more things.
1564   *NOTICE* that EventLog has not been upgraded yet neither has the documentation.
1565 + Added MaxWarnCount / MinWarnCount to checkProcState to check number of processes running
1566
15672005-06-09 MickeM
