1502008-05-14 MickeM
151 * Fixed memoryleak in the service checker.
152     I am really sorry I usualy write better code then this.
153
1542008-05-11 MickeM
155 * BREAKING CHANGE! -- Changed PDH options to a more uniform design:
156     auto_detect_pdh and dont_use_pdh_index has been removed and instead there is a new method option that takes various values.
157

159 * Moved COM init to "core" (from WMI module)
160 + Added new Check command: CheckTaskSched Use like so:

165   New option: cmdLine will toggle so full command lines are used instead of just process names.
166 + Added regular expression matching to process checks
167   New option: match=regexp (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
168 + Added substring matching to process checks

170   This is *NOT* case blind so might be hard to use, plan to add case blindness to it in the future.
171 : Sample command: check_nt ... -v PROCSTATE -l cmdLine,match=regexp,.*exp.* -d SHOWALL
172 * Ohh yeah... it is 2008 this year... not 2007, fixed a few entries in the change log :)
173 - BREAKING CHANGE! -- Removed TOOLHELPER API as PSAPI is simpler and toolhelp is really only useful on w9x (which I don't officially support)
174
1752008-03-20 MickeM

188 ! 0.3.1 Released
189
1902008-03-08 MickeM
191 * Changed so log is now in Unicode format
192   Hopefully this will make it simpler to diagnose PDH issues in "strange locales".
193   If anyone hates this let me know and I will add an option to use "old ansi log".
194 * Fixed so the console is logged as ANSI (properly) and all Unicode's are discarded.
195   This means "strangeness" in Unicode and non-us-ascii chars on the console,
196    so for details refer to the log-file which is proper Unicode.
197 + Since log module is loaded "after" the client has booted I added a "hello" message that prints the current version
198    (if you find this annoying let me know, I will make it optional :)
199 * Fixed some issues in the registry handling
200
2012008-03-06 MickeM
202 * Fixed silly ordering bug with the <> syntax.
203
2042008-03-05 MickeM
205 + 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.
206 + Added syntax to new section [Eventlog] used as a shorthand for the syntax to use as "default" (when no syntax=... option is given)
207 * Fixed an issue with eventlog and . matching.
208 + Added shorthand ! for != in "all" numeric filters (eventlog)
209 + Added <> (same as ! and !=) as NRPE breaks the use of ! (in "all" numeric filters (eventlog))
210   Try using: filter-eventType=<>warning to remove everything that is not a warning
211 * Fixed two spelling mistakes in the SysTray module.
212 * Fixed 64-bit issues with installer
213 * Fixed so installer uninstalls/installs the service
214 
2152008-02-26 MickeM
216 + Added installer
217 
2182008-02-22 MickeM
219 * Fixed issues in the NRPE module (now returns the correct status)
220 + Added a lot of "error log" for when the packet size in NRPEListener is not correct
221    (might make it simpler to diagnose problems)
222
2232008-02-20 MickeM
224 + Added new module NRPEClient that can act as a NRPE client, might be useful for testing things and
225   eventually for relaying events.
226   Usage: nsclient++ -noboot NRPEClient -H 192.168.0.1 -p 5666 -c check_something -a foo bar
227   This is an early concept so don't expect much...
228 * Fixed a bug in NSCA module (now it works again :)
229 + Added a command wrapper for the NRPECLient module so now it can act as a check command.
230   (No argument handling yet though), For a sample check out the [NRPE Client Handlers] section in NSC.ini
231
2322008-02-19 MickeM
233 + Fixed a buffer overflow in the NRPE socket handling.
234 
2352008-02-18 MickeM
236 + Added proper output handling to process subsystem (now you can execute programs that return "much" data.
237 + Added select support for SSL_write (now you can send "any amount of data" to the (SSL) socket.
238   Since check_nrpe doesn't do this it wont work in that end, but still...
239
2402008-02-16 MickeM
241 + Re factored ExternalCommand handling so NRPE and new module does the same thing.
242
2432008-02-14 MickeM
244 + Added so commands starting in host_ (NSCA Handlers) are sent as host-commands
245 * Fixed a copy constructor in NSCA Commands (now service checks are sent as service checks)
246
2472008-02-13 MickeM
248 + Added string_length to [Settings] as well (used internally) for all "injected" buffers.
249 * Fixed issue with scripts result truncated after 1024 chars
250    (now they return "all" output and thus you can use the NRPE settings I added yesterday :)
251 + Added hostname setting to [NSCA] section (must have been  when I did not add it before)
252 + Added to NSCA truncates output when to long.
253
2542008-02-12 MickeM
255 + Added new option for the [NRPE] section string_length which is the length of the NRPE strings
256   (notice you need to recompile the check_nrpe to match this value)
257 * Improved exception handling in the PDH collector (hopefully less deadlocks)
258
2592008-02-11 MickeM
260 + Added encryption support for NSCA module (about half of the algorithms are available,
261     if someone wants to use one not available let me know, and I will try to add it)
262
2632008-02-09 MickeM
264 + New module CheckExternalScripts to handle 1, external script (similar to the old NRPE but in its own module)
265   - Can Check batch/vbs/programs/*
266   - Works with NSCA module (if you don't want to have NRPE at the same time)
267   - Simpler syntax (discarded old and added new section for alias)
268   - Started to add "sample alias" to ease initial setup and give some nice ideas (please provide me with feedback on them)
269
2702008-02-08 MickeM
271 + Added some more default catch handlers (on the "core" side of plugin-calls).
272
2732008-02-07 MickeM
274 + Added default catch handlers to all wrapped plug in calls.
275
2762008-02-05 MickeM

278
2792008-02-04 MickeM

281 * Fixed issues with performance counter rendering (mainly checkDisk)
282
2832008-02-03 MickeM

286 + Added command descriptions (for some modules)
287 * Fixed issue in NRPE that displayed a console window when running commands

292
2932008-02-02 MickeM
294 * Might have fixed the "missing eventlog messages" problem.
295 + Added %count% parameter to syntax which (when used with unique) will display the number of hits for each message displayed.
296
2972008-01-27 MickeM
298 * Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
299 * Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check
300 + Added %message% to eventlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer.
301   For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set
302   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
303 + Added option "unique" to CheckEventLog If this is present only unique errors will be returned.
304   The uniqueness is defined by event-log, event-source, event-id and event-category.
305
3062007-12-16 MickeM
307 + A lot of new features in the LUA module only "arguments" missing (as well as exposing more of the API)
308 * Changed some exceptions that were thrown wrong

314 + Added initial draft for LUA module
315
3162007-12-09 MickeM
317 + Added a check if the service is started when running with /test so you get a warning
318 + Improved the socket thread with:
319    * a default-catch
320    * If the socket fails to start we still wait for it to shut down (no error message)
321 + Added first version of the NSCA agent (NSCAgent.dll)
322   (no encryption support as of yet, but will come)
323

341    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 ...
342    Only the above listed %<char> works, and default to 0 so might not be to pretty but works...

359     CheckWMIValue -a "Query=select Caption, ThreadCount from Win32_Process" MaxWarn=50 MaxCrit=100 Check:threads=ThreadCount AliasCol=Caption
360    will give you: "System threads: 98 > warning, svchost.exe threads: 87 > warning"

424 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
425 * 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.

478 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
479 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
480   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
481 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
482   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
483   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
484   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
485   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
486   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
487   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
488

505
5062006-03-25 MickeM
507 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
508
5092006-03-02 MickeM
510 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
511
5122006-03-01 MickeM
513 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
514
5152006-02-26 MickeM
516 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
517
5182006-02-25 MickeM
519 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
520 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
521   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
522   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
523 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
524 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
525 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
526   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.
527   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.
528 - 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.
529 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
530 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
531 
5322006-02-2? MickeM
533 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
534   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
535 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
536   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
537   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
538   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
539 * 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).
540 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
541 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
542
5432006-02-12 MickeM
544 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
545
5462006-02-08 MickeM

548 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
549
5502006-02-07 MickeM
551 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
552 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
553
5542006-02-05 MickeM
555 + Added CheckFile check command
556   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
557 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
558 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
559 
5602006-01-21 MickeM
561 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
562   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
563   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
564   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
565   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
566   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
567   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
568   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
569   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
570  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
571
5722006-01-02 MickeM
573 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
574 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)

576 * Fixed syntax of performance data
577
5782005-09-24 MickeM
579 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
580
5812005-09-20 MickeM

595 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
596 + Added service description
597 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
598
5992005-07-26 MickeM
600 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
601 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
602
6032005-07-19 MickeM

606
6072005-07-16 MickeM
608 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
609
6102005-07-11 MickeM
