72012-05-19 MickeM
8 * Fixed issue with checking rate counters (such as disk idle %)
9 * Fixed (I think) the negative denominator counter issue
10 * Fixed so indexes are only converted on \\123\\ and not also \\123 hello world\\ which caused some issues with numeric counter variables.
11
122012-05-13 MickeM
13 * Take 2 on fixing the empty command parsing.

2192012-02-02 MickeM
220 * Implemented full API for LuaScript
221        Now "everything" (ish) works including channels, exec and query (via moderna API)
222        Still no protocol buffer support but not sure how to play that yet so will not be avalible in 0.4.0.
223
2242012-02-01 MickeM
225 * Implemented full settings API for LuaScript (next RC will have to wait till next weekend)
226
2272012-01-31 MickeM1
228 * Fixed issue with parsing "invalid external commands".
229   If parsing falies it will notify you but use the legacy split string method instead.
230 * LuaScript module is now modern (ie. works with 0.4.0)
231   Should be 99% compatbile (function needs to be defined before registration) but all old scripts should work now (I think)
232 * LuaScript module has been modernized
233   The new API is very similar to Python
234   Concepts are working but not all commands have beenh implementes (and no testcases either)
235   The old API will still work
236 * Fixed issue with
237
2382012-01-27 MickeM
239 * Changed CheckCounter format option to take a coma separated list of keyword from the below list:
240         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.
241         1000: Multiply the actual value by 1000.
242         noscale: Do not apply the default scaling factor.
243         So format=nocap100,noscale would combine the two aspects above.
244
2452012-01-26 MickeM
246 * Fixed issue with parsing multiple performance data items (internally)
247 * Added option to CheckCounter format=nocap100 to not cap counters at 100% (for multi cpu machines)

263 * Fixed a race condition in the python unit test script
264
2652012-01-19 MickeM
266 * Fixed some NSCA encryption bugs (of the random nature)

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

1055     auto_detect_pdh and dont_use_pdh_index has been removed and instead there is a new method option that takes various values.
1056
10572008-04-03 MickeM
1058 * Moved COM init to "core" (from WMI module)
1059 + Added new Check command: CheckTaskSched Use like so:
1060     CheckTaskSched +filter-exit-code==1 ShowAll MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1
1061
10622008-03-21 MickeM
1063 + Added command line support for process checks
1064   New option: cmdLine will toggle so full command lines are used instead of just process names.
1065 + Added regular expression matching to process checks
1066   New option: match=regexp (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
1067 + Added substring matching to process checks
1068   New option: match=substr (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
1069   This is *NOT* case blind so might be hard to use, plan to add case blindness to it in the future.
1070 : Sample command: check_nt ... -v PROCSTATE -l cmdLine,match=regexp,.*exp.* -d SHOWALL
1071 * Ohh yeah... it is 2008 this year... not 2007, fixed a few entries in the change log :)
1072 - BREAKING CHANGE! -- Removed TOOLHELPER API as PSAPI is simpler and toolhelp is really only useful on w9x (which I don't officially support)

1076 + Added option (cache_hostname=1|0) to cache the NSCA host name (Ie. only lookup once)
1077 * Fixed service check: check_nt -v SERVICESTATE -l CheckAll so it works as advertised (#150)
1078 * Fixed issue with check_nt MEMUSE/CPULOAD/UPTIME if something is "broken" they will now return an error instead of "0". (#134)

1088
10892008-03-08 MickeM
1090 * Changed so log is now in Unicode format
1091   Hopefully this will make it simpler to diagnose PDH issues in "strange locales".
1092   If anyone hates this let me know and I will add an option to use "old ansi log".
1093 * Fixed so the console is logged as ANSI (properly) and all Unicode's are discarded.
1094   This means "strangeness" in Unicode and non-us-ascii chars on the console,
1095    so for details refer to the log-file which is proper Unicode.
1096 + Since log module is loaded "after" the client has booted I added a "hello" message that prints the current version
1097    (if you find this annoying let me know, I will make it optional :)
1098 * Fixed some issues in the registry handling
1099
11002008-03-06 MickeM
1101 * Fixed silly ordering bug with the <> syntax.
1102
11032008-03-05 MickeM
1104 + 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.
1105 + Added syntax to new section [Eventlog] used as a shorthand for the syntax to use as "default" (when no syntax=... option is given)
1106 * Fixed an issue with eventlog and . matching.
1107 + Added shorthand ! for != in "all" numeric filters (eventlog)
1108 + Added <> (same as ! and !=) as NRPE breaks the use of ! (in "all" numeric filters (eventlog))
1109   Try using: filter-eventType=<>warning to remove everything that is not a warning
1110 * Fixed two spelling mistakes in the SysTray module.
1111 * Fixed 64-bit issues with installer
1112 * Fixed so installer uninstalls/installs the service
1113 
11142008-02-26 MickeM
1115 + Added installer
1116 
11172008-02-22 MickeM
1118 * Fixed issues in the NRPE module (now returns the correct status)
1119 + Added a lot of "error log" for when the packet size in NRPEListener is not correct
1120    (might make it simpler to diagnose problems)
1121
11222008-02-20 MickeM
1123 + Added new module NRPEClient that can act as a NRPE client, might be useful for testing things and
1124   eventually for relaying events.
1125   Usage: nsclient++ -noboot NRPEClient -H 192.168.0.1 -p 5666 -c check_something -a foo bar
1126   This is an early concept so don't expect much...
1127 * Fixed a bug in NSCA module (now it works again :)
1128 + Added a command wrapper for the NRPECLient module so now it can act as a check command.
1129   (No argument handling yet though), For a sample check out the [NRPE Client Handlers] section in NSC.ini
1130
11312008-02-19 MickeM
1132 + Fixed a buffer overflow in the NRPE socket handling.
1133 
11342008-02-18 MickeM
1135 + Added proper output handling to process subsystem (now you can execute programs that return "much" data.
1136 + Added select support for SSL_write (now you can send "any amount of data" to the (SSL) socket.
1137   Since check_nrpe doesn't do this it wont work in that end, but still...
1138
11392008-02-16 MickeM
1140 + Re factored ExternalCommand handling so NRPE and new module does the same thing.
1141
11422008-02-14 MickeM
1143 + Added so commands starting in host_ (NSCA Handlers) are sent as host-commands
1144 * Fixed a copy constructor in NSCA Commands (now service checks are sent as service checks)
1145
11462008-02-13 MickeM
1147 + Added string_length to [Settings] as well (used internally) for all "injected" buffers.
1148 * Fixed issue with scripts result truncated after 1024 chars
1149    (now they return "all" output and thus you can use the NRPE settings I added yesterday :)
1150 + Added hostname setting to [NSCA] section (must have been  when I did not add it before)
1151 + Added to NSCA truncates output when to long.
1152
11532008-02-12 MickeM
1154 + Added new option for the [NRPE] section string_length which is the length of the NRPE strings
1155   (notice you need to recompile the check_nrpe to match this value)
1156 * Improved exception handling in the PDH collector (hopefully less deadlocks)
1157
11582008-02-11 MickeM
1159 + Added encryption support for NSCA module (about half of the algorithms are available,
1160     if someone wants to use one not available let me know, and I will try to add it)
1161
11622008-02-09 MickeM
1163 + New module CheckExternalScripts to handle 1, external script (similar to the old NRPE but in its own module)
1164   - Can Check batch/vbs/programs/*
1165   - Works with NSCA module (if you don't want to have NRPE at the same time)
1166   - Simpler syntax (discarded old and added new section for alias)
1167   - Started to add "sample alias" to ease initial setup and give some nice ideas (please provide me with feedback on them)
1168
11692008-02-08 MickeM
1170 + Added some more default catch handlers (on the "core" side of plugin-calls).
1171
11722008-02-07 MickeM
1173 + Added default catch handlers to all wrapped plug in calls.
1174
11752008-02-05 MickeM

1181
11822008-02-03 MickeM

1184 + Added API for scripts to register commands
1185 + Added command descriptions (for some modules)
1186 * Fixed issue in NRPE that displayed a console window when running commands

1191
11922008-02-02 MickeM
1193 * Might have fixed the "missing eventlog messages" problem.
1194 + Added %count% parameter to syntax which (when used with unique) will display the number of hits for each message displayed.
1195
11962008-01-27 MickeM
1197 * Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
1198 * Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check
1199 + Added %message% to eventlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer.
1200   For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set
1201   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
1202 + Added option "unique" to CheckEventLog If this is present only unique errors will be returned.
1203   The uniqueness is defined by event-log, event-source, event-id and event-category.
1204
12052007-12-16 MickeM
1206 + A lot of new features in the LUA module only "arguments" missing (as well as exposing more of the API)

1220 + Added first version of the NSCA agent (NSCAgent.dll)
1221   (no encryption support as of yet, but will come)

1238 * Fixed so default string for check_nt:s FILEAGE command is "delta" is 5 minutes ago (and not absolute ie. 1970...), Issue #39
1239 + added support for  <date strings> to check_nt:s FILEAGE command, Issue #39
1240    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 ...
1241    Only the above listed %<char> works, and default to 0 so might not be to pretty but works...

1256 * Fixed some missing exceptions that were not caught
1257 + Added "AliasCol" option to CheckWMIValue to allow a column to be used as "alias" for a result set:
1258     CheckWMIValue -a "Query=select Caption, ThreadCount from Win32_Process" MaxWarn=50 MaxCrit=100 Check:threads=ThreadCount AliasCol=Caption
1259    will give you: "System threads: 98 > warning, svchost.exe threads: 87 > warning"

1289 + Added option to configure the behavior of CheckService CheckAll (#64)
1290
12912007-11-08 MickeM
1292 + Added CheckWMIValue to check result-values from a WMI Query

1320
13212007-06-23 MickeM
1322 * 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...
1323 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
1324 * 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.
1325
13262007-06-20 MickeM
1327 * Fixed #24 crash in NSClient++.exe CheckSystem listpdh | debugpdh
1328 * Fixed #62 Problems with CheckServiceState and services with spaces.

1341
13422007-02-25 MickeM

1370 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
1371 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)
1372 * Fixed : (and possibly other problems) in counters when checking from check_nt (via NSCLient protocol)
1373 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
1374 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
1375
13762006-10-05 MickeM
1377 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
1378 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
1379   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
1380 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
1381   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
1382   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
1383   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
1384   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
1385   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
1386   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
1387
13882006-04-04 MickeM
1389 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
1390
13912006-04-02 MickeM

1400 
14012006-03-28 MickeM
1402 + Added REG/INI parsers
1403 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
1404
14052006-03-25 MickeM
1406 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
1407
14082006-03-02 MickeM
1409 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
1410
14112006-03-01 MickeM
1412 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
1413
14142006-02-26 MickeM
1415 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
1416
14172006-02-25 MickeM
1418 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
1419 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
1420   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
1421   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
1422 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
1423 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
1424 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
1425   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.
1426   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.
1427 - 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.
1428 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
1429 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
1430 
14312006-02-2? MickeM
1432 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
1433   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
1434 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
1435   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
1436   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
1437   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
1438 * 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).
1439 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
1440 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
1441
14422006-02-12 MickeM
1443 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
1444
14452006-02-08 MickeM
1446 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
1447 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
1448
14492006-02-07 MickeM
1450 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
1451 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
1452
14532006-02-05 MickeM
1454 + Added CheckFile check command
1455   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
1456 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
1457 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
1458 
14592006-01-21 MickeM
1460 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
1461   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
1462   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
1463   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
1464   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
1465   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
1466   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
1467   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
1468   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
1469  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
1470
14712006-01-02 MickeM
1472 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
1473 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
1474   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
1475 * Fixed syntax of performance data
1476
14772005-09-24 MickeM
1478 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
1479
14802005-09-20 MickeM
1481 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh
1482

1487 * First off, sorry for lack of updates, but was on vacation :)
1488 + Added ShowAll=long to CPULoad

1490
14912005-07-31 MickeM
1492 + /install now sets the service to autostart
1493 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
1494 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
1495 + Added service description
1496 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
1497
14982005-07-26 MickeM
1499 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
1500 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
1501
15022005-07-19 MickeM
1503 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
1504 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
1505
15062005-07-16 MickeM
1507 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
1508
15092005-07-11 MickeM
