94 * Fixed "broken password check" in NSClient listener
95
962006-11-18 MickeM
97 + Added support for empty NRPE checking (i.e.. chec_nrpe without a -c argument)
98 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
99 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)

101 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
102 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
103
1042006-10-05 MickeM
105 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
106 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
107   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
108 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
109   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
110   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
111   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
112   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
113   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
114   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
115
1162006-04-04 MickeM
117 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
118
1192006-04-02 MickeM

121   *Please* i don't like to die!
122
1232006-03-31 MickeM
124 * Damn necromancers! stop 0wning my ass all the time!
125 
1262006-03-29 MickeM
127 + Added API for saving/reading settings
128 
1292006-03-28 MickeM
130 + Added REG/INI parsers
131 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
132
1332006-03-25 MickeM
134 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
135
1362006-03-02 MickeM
137 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
138
1392006-03-01 MickeM
140 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
141
1422006-02-26 MickeM
143 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
144
1452006-02-25 MickeM
146 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
147 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
148   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
149   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
150 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
151 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
152 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
153   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.
154   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.
155 - 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.
156 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
157 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
158 
1592006-02-2? MickeM
160 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
161   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
162 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
163   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
164   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
165   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
166 * 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).
167 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
168 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
169
1702006-02-12 MickeM
171 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
172
1732006-02-08 MickeM
174 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
175 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
176
1772006-02-07 MickeM
178 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
179 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
180
1812006-02-05 MickeM
182 + Added CheckFile check command
183   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
184 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
185 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
186 
1872006-01-21 MickeM
188 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
189   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
190   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
191   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
192   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
193   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
194   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
195   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
196   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
197  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
198
1992006-01-02 MickeM
200 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
201 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)

203 * Fixed syntax of performance data
204
2052005-09-24 MickeM
206 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
207
2082005-09-20 MickeM
209 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh
210

215 * First off, sorry for lack of updates, but was on vacation :)
216 + Added ShowAll=long to CPULoad
217 + Added several new types to checkMem (type=paged, type=physical, type=page, type=virtual)
218
2192005-07-31 MickeM
220 + /install now sets the service to autostart
221 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
222 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
223 + Added service description
224 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
225
2262005-07-26 MickeM
227 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
228 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
229
2302005-07-19 MickeM
231 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
232 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
233
2342005-07-16 MickeM
235 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
236
2372005-07-11 MickeM
