  • Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
  • Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check + Added %message% to evenlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer. For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set 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
  • Property mode set to 100644

17 * Changed some exceptions that were thrown wrong
18

50    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 ...

133 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
134 * 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.

179 + Added support for empty NRPE checking (i.e.. chec_nrpe without a -c argument)
180 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
181 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)
182 * Fixed : (and possibly other problems) in counters when checking from check_nt (via NSCLient protocol)
183 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
184 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
185
1862006-10-05 MickeM
187 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
188 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
189   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
190 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
191   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
192   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
193   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
194   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
195   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
196   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
197
1982006-04-04 MickeM
199 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
200
2012006-04-02 MickeM

203   *Please* i don't like to die!
204
2052006-03-31 MickeM

209 + Added API for saving/reading settings
210 
2112006-03-28 MickeM
212 + Added REG/INI parsers
213 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
214
2152006-03-25 MickeM
216 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
217
2182006-03-02 MickeM
219 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
220
2212006-03-01 MickeM
222 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
223
2242006-02-26 MickeM
225 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
226
2272006-02-25 MickeM
228 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
229 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
230   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
231   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
232 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
233 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
234 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
235   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.
236   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.
237 - 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.
238 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
239 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
240 
2412006-02-2? MickeM
242 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
243   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
244 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
245   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
246   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
247   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
248 * 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).
249 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
250 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
251
2522006-02-12 MickeM
253 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
254
2552006-02-08 MickeM
256 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
257 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
258
2592006-02-07 MickeM
260 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
261 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
262
2632006-02-05 MickeM
264 + Added CheckFile check command
265   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
266 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
267 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
268 
2692006-01-21 MickeM
270 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
271   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
272   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
273   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
274   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
275   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
276   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
277   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
278   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
279  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
280
2812006-01-02 MickeM
282 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
283 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
284   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
285 * Fixed syntax of performance data
286
2872005-09-24 MickeM
288 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
289
2902005-09-20 MickeM
291 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh
292
2932005-09-17 MickeM

299 + Added several new types to checkMem (type=paged, type=physical, type=page, type=virtual)
300

302 + /install now sets the service to autostart

304 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
305 + Added service description
306 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
307
3082005-07-26 MickeM
309 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
310 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
311
3122005-07-19 MickeM
313 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
314 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
315
3162005-07-16 MickeM
317 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
318
3192005-07-11 MickeM
320 * *ALOT* of bug fixes and enhancements all checking code has been centralized and rewritten also my internal check scripts
321   have been extended to check a lot more things.
322   *NOTICE* that EventLog has not been upgraded yet neither has the documentation.
323 + Added MaxWarnCount / MinWarnCount to checkProcState to check number of processes running
