+ Added string_length to [Settings] as well (used internally) for all "injected" buffers.

  • Fixed issue with scripts result truncated efter 1024 chars

(now they return "all" output and thus you can use the NRPE settings I adde yesterday :)

  • Property mode set to 100644

9 + Added string_length to [Settings] as well (used internally) for all "injected" buffers.
10 * Fixed issue with scripts result truncated efter 1024 chars
11    (now they return "all" output and thus you can use the NRPE settings I adde yesterday :)
12
132008-02-12 MickeM
14 + Added new option for the [NRPE] section string_length which is the length of the NRPE strings
15   (notice you need to recompile the check_nrpe to match this value)
16 * Improved exception handling in the PDH collector (hopefully less deadlocks)
17
182008-02-11 MickeM
19 + Added encryption support for NSCA module (about half of the algorithms are avalible,
20     if someone wants to use one not available let me know, and I will try to add it)
21
222008-02-09 MickeM
23 + New module CheckExternalScripts to handle 1, external script (similar to the old NRPE but in its own module)
24   - Can Check batch/vbs/programs/*
25   - Works with NSCA module (if you don't want to have NRPE at the same time)
26   - Simpler syntax (discarded old and added new section for alias)
27   - Started to add "sample alias" to ease initial setup and give some nice ideas (please provide me with feedback on them)
28
292008-02-08 MickeM
30 + Added some more default catch handlers (on the "core" side of plugin-calls).
31
322008-02-07 MickeM
33 + Added default catch handlers to all wrapped plugin calls.
34
352008-02-05 MickeM

37
382008-02-04 MickeM
39 *** Happy Birthday bogi!! :)
40 * Fixed issues with performance counter rendering (mainly checkDisk)
41
422008-02-03 MickeM
43 + Added encryption subsystem to NSCA module (still no mcrypt support, but at least you have "xor" and passwords)
44 + Added API for scripts to register commands
45 + Added command descriptions (for some modules)
46 * Fixed issue in NRPE that displayed a console window when running commands
47 * New improved "inject" dialog from the system tray
48   Lists available commands, and shows command descriptions and a lot of other improvements.
49 + Added an internal log windows that displays log in real-time.
50 + Fixed some issues with the dialog procs (should work smoother now, especially Termination)
51
522008-02-02 MickeM
53 * Might have fixed the "missing eventlog messages" problem.
54 + Added %count% parameter to syntax which (when used with unique) will display the number of hits for each message displayed.
55
562008-01-27 MickeM
57 * Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
58 * Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check
59 + Added %message% to eventlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer.
60   For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set
61   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
62 + Added option "unique" to CheckEventLog If this is present only unique errors will be returned.
63   The uniqueness is defined by event-log, event-source, event-id and event-category.
64
652007-12-16 MickeM

78    * a default-catch
79    * If the socket fails to start we still wait for it to shut down (no error message)
80 + Added first version of the NSCA agent (NSCAgent.dll)
81   (no encryption support as of yet, but will come)

99 + added support for  <date strings> to check_nt:s FILEAGE command, Issue #39
100    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 ...

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

170 + Fixed x64 build and cleanup a bit.
171
1722007-09-15 MickeM

183 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
184 * 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.

226 * Fixed "broken password check" in NSClient listener
227
2282006-11-18 MickeM
229 + Added support for empty NRPE checking (i.e.. chec_nrpe without a -c argument)
230 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
231 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)
232 * Fixed : (and possibly other problems) in counters when checking from check_nt (via NSCLient protocol)
233 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
234 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
235
2362006-10-05 MickeM
237 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
238 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
239   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
240 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
241   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
242   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
243   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
244   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
245   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
246   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
247
2482006-04-04 MickeM
249 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
250
2512006-04-02 MickeM

254
2552006-03-31 MickeM
256 * Damn necromancers! stop 0wning my ass all the time!
257 
2582006-03-29 MickeM
259 + Added API for saving/reading settings
260 
2612006-03-28 MickeM
262 + Added REG/INI parsers
263 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
264
2652006-03-25 MickeM
266 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
267
2682006-03-02 MickeM
269 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
270
2712006-03-01 MickeM
272 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
273
2742006-02-26 MickeM
275 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
276
2772006-02-25 MickeM
278 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
279 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
280   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
281   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
282 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
283 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
284 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
285   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.
286   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.
287 - 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.
288 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
289 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
290 
2912006-02-2? MickeM
292 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
293   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
294 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
295   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
296   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
297   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
298 * 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).
299 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
300 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
301
3022006-02-12 MickeM
303 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
304
3052006-02-08 MickeM
306 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
307 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
308
3092006-02-07 MickeM
310 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
311 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
312
3132006-02-05 MickeM
314 + Added CheckFile check command
315   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
316 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
317 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
318 
3192006-01-21 MickeM
320 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
321   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
322   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
323   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
324   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
325   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
326   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
327   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
328   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
329  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
330
3312006-01-02 MickeM
332 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
333 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
334   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
335 * Fixed syntax of performance data
336
3372005-09-24 MickeM
338 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
339

355 + Added service description
356 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
357
3582005-07-26 MickeM
359 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
360 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
361
3622005-07-19 MickeM
363 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
364 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
365
3662005-07-16 MickeM
367 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
368
3692005-07-11 MickeM
370 * *ALOT* of bug fixes and enhancements all checking code has been centralized and rewritten also my internal check scripts
371   have been extended to check a lot more things.
372   *NOTICE* that EventLog has not been upgraded yet neither has the documentation.
