499
5002008-08-09 MickeM

569
5702008-05-14 MickeM
571 * Fixed memoryleak in the service checker.
572     I am really sorry I usualy write better code then this.
573
5742008-05-11 MickeM
575 * BREAKING CHANGE! -- Changed PDH options to a more uniform design:
576     auto_detect_pdh and dont_use_pdh_index has been removed and instead there is a new method option that takes various values.

585   New option: cmdLine will toggle so full command lines are used instead of just process names.
586 + Added regular expression matching to process checks
587   New option: match=regexp (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
588 + Added substring matching to process checks
589   New option: match=substr (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
590   This is *NOT* case blind so might be hard to use, plan to add case blindness to it in the future.
591 : Sample command: check_nt ... -v PROCSTATE -l cmdLine,match=regexp,.*exp.* -d SHOWALL
592 * Ohh yeah... it is 2008 this year... not 2007, fixed a few entries in the change log :)
593 - BREAKING CHANGE! -- Removed TOOLHELPER API as PSAPI is simpler and toolhelp is really only useful on w9x (which I don't officially support)
594
5952008-03-20 MickeM
596 + Added host-lookupos for NSCA server (#149)
597 + Added option (cache_hostname=1|0) to cache the NSCA host name (Ie. only lookup once)

608 ! 0.3.1 Released
609
6102008-03-08 MickeM
611 * Changed so log is now in Unicode format
612   Hopefully this will make it simpler to diagnose PDH issues in "strange locales".
613   If anyone hates this let me know and I will add an option to use "old ansi log".
614 * Fixed so the console is logged as ANSI (properly) and all Unicode's are discarded.
615   This means "strangeness" in Unicode and non-us-ascii chars on the console,
616    so for details refer to the log-file which is proper Unicode.
617 + Since log module is loaded "after" the client has booted I added a "hello" message that prints the current version
618    (if you find this annoying let me know, I will make it optional :)
619 * Fixed some issues in the registry handling
620
6212008-03-06 MickeM
622 * Fixed silly ordering bug with the <> syntax.
623
6242008-03-05 MickeM
625 + 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.
626 + Added syntax to new section [Eventlog] used as a shorthand for the syntax to use as "default" (when no syntax=... option is given)
627 * Fixed an issue with eventlog and . matching.
628 + Added shorthand ! for != in "all" numeric filters (eventlog)
629 + Added <> (same as ! and !=) as NRPE breaks the use of ! (in "all" numeric filters (eventlog))
630   Try using: filter-eventType=<>warning to remove everything that is not a warning
631 * Fixed two spelling mistakes in the SysTray module.
632 * Fixed 64-bit issues with installer
633 * Fixed so installer uninstalls/installs the service

637 
6382008-02-22 MickeM
639 * Fixed issues in the NRPE module (now returns the correct status)
640 + Added a lot of "error log" for when the packet size in NRPEListener is not correct
641    (might make it simpler to diagnose problems)
642
6432008-02-20 MickeM
644 + Added new module NRPEClient that can act as a NRPE client, might be useful for testing things and
645   eventually for relaying events.
646   Usage: nsclient++ -noboot NRPEClient -H 192.168.0.1 -p 5666 -c check_something -a foo bar
647   This is an early concept so don't expect much...
648 * Fixed a bug in NSCA module (now it works again :)
649 + Added a command wrapper for the NRPECLient module so now it can act as a check command.
650   (No argument handling yet though), For a sample check out the [NRPE Client Handlers] section in NSC.ini
651
6522008-02-19 MickeM
653 + Fixed a buffer overflow in the NRPE socket handling.
654 
6552008-02-18 MickeM
656 + Added proper output handling to process subsystem (now you can execute programs that return "much" data.
657 + Added select support for SSL_write (now you can send "any amount of data" to the (SSL) socket.
658   Since check_nrpe doesn't do this it wont work in that end, but still...
659
6602008-02-16 MickeM
661 + Re factored ExternalCommand handling so NRPE and new module does the same thing.
662
6632008-02-14 MickeM
664 + Added so commands starting in host_ (NSCA Handlers) are sent as host-commands
665 * Fixed a copy constructor in NSCA Commands (now service checks are sent as service checks)
666
6672008-02-13 MickeM
668 + Added string_length to [Settings] as well (used internally) for all "injected" buffers.
669 * Fixed issue with scripts result truncated after 1024 chars
670    (now they return "all" output and thus you can use the NRPE settings I added yesterday :)
671 + Added hostname setting to [NSCA] section (must have been  when I did not add it before)
672 + Added to NSCA truncates output when to long.
673
6742008-02-12 MickeM
675 + Added new option for the [NRPE] section string_length which is the length of the NRPE strings
676   (notice you need to recompile the check_nrpe to match this value)
677 * Improved exception handling in the PDH collector (hopefully less deadlocks)
678
6792008-02-11 MickeM
680 + Added encryption support for NSCA module (about half of the algorithms are available,
681     if someone wants to use one not available let me know, and I will try to add it)
682
6832008-02-09 MickeM
684 + New module CheckExternalScripts to handle 1, external script (similar to the old NRPE but in its own module)
685   - Can Check batch/vbs/programs/*
686   - Works with NSCA module (if you don't want to have NRPE at the same time)
687   - Simpler syntax (discarded old and added new section for alias)
688   - Started to add "sample alias" to ease initial setup and give some nice ideas (please provide me with feedback on them)
689
6902008-02-08 MickeM
691 + Added some more default catch handlers (on the "core" side of plugin-calls).
692

695
6962008-02-05 MickeM

712
7132008-02-02 MickeM
714 * Might have fixed the "missing eventlog messages" problem.
715 + Added %count% parameter to syntax which (when used with unique) will display the number of hits for each message displayed.
716
7172008-01-27 MickeM
718 * Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
719 * Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check
720 + Added %message% to eventlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer.
721   For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set
722   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
723 + Added option "unique" to CheckEventLog If this is present only unique errors will be returned.
724   The uniqueness is defined by event-log, event-source, event-id and event-category.
725
7262007-12-16 MickeM
727 + A lot of new features in the LUA module only "arguments" missing (as well as exposing more of the API)

735
7362007-12-09 MickeM
737 + Added a check if the service is started when running with /test so you get a warning
738 + Improved the socket thread with:
739    * a default-catch
740    * If the socket fails to start we still wait for it to shut down (no error message)
741 + Added first version of the NSCA agent (NSCAgent.dll)
742   (no encryption support as of yet, but will come)

761    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 ...
762    Only the above listed %<char> works, and default to 0 so might not be to pretty but works...

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

844 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
845 * 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.

891 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
892 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)

8972006-10-05 MickeM
898 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
899 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
900   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
901 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
902   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
903   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
904   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
905   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
906   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
907   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
908
9092006-04-04 MickeM

9222006-03-28 MickeM
923 + Added REG/INI parsers

925
9262006-03-25 MickeM
927 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
928
9292006-03-02 MickeM
930 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
931
9322006-03-01 MickeM
933 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
934
9352006-02-26 MickeM
936 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
937
9382006-02-25 MickeM
939 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
940 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
941   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
942   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
943 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
944 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
945 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
946   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.
947   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.
948 - 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.
949 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
950 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
951 
9522006-02-2? MickeM
953 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
954   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
955 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
956   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
957   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
958   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
959 * 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).
960 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
961 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
962
9632006-02-12 MickeM
964 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
965
9662006-02-08 MickeM

968 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
969
9702006-02-07 MickeM
971 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
972 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
973
9742006-02-05 MickeM
975 + Added CheckFile check command
976   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
977 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
978 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
979 
9802006-01-21 MickeM
981 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
982   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
983   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
984   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
985   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
986   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
987   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
988   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
989   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
990  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
991
9922006-01-02 MickeM
993 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
994 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
995   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
996 * Fixed syntax of performance data
997
9982005-09-24 MickeM
999 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
1000

1013 + /install now sets the service to autostart
1014 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
1015 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
1016 + Added service description
1017 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
1018
10192005-07-26 MickeM
1020 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
1021 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
1022
10232005-07-19 MickeM
1024 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)

1026
10272005-07-16 MickeM
1028 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
1029
10302005-07-11 MickeM
