Last change on this file since b67d231 was b67d231, checked in by Michael Medin <michael@…>, 12 months ago
  • Added log level = off to disable logging.
  • Added option in NSCAClient to hostname (auto-lc) to use lower case version of hostname. #533
  • Reworked how commands are read. If a command is defined without a section (default) no section will be added and instead a comment will be addded on how to add the section. This should (I hope) resolve the "missing command" for good.
  • Improved error messages for missing commands
  • Fixed scientific notation on performance data (#)
  • Property mode set to 100644

225
2262012-02-01 MickeM
227 * Implemented full settings API for LuaScript (next RC will have to wait till next weekend)
228
2292012-01-31 MickeM1
230 * Fixed issue with parsing "invalid external commands".
231   If parsing falies it will notify you but use the legacy split string method instead.
232 * LuaScript module is now modern (ie. works with 0.4.0)
233   Should be 99% compatbile (function needs to be defined before registration) but all old scripts should work now (I think)
234 * LuaScript module has been modernized
235   The new API is very similar to Python
236   Concepts are working but not all commands have beenh implementes (and no testcases either)
237   The old API will still work
238 * Fixed issue with
239
2402012-01-27 MickeM
241 * Changed CheckCounter format option to take a coma separated list of keyword from the below list:
242         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.
243         1000: Multiply the actual value by 1000.
244         noscale: Do not apply the default scaling factor.
245         So format=nocap100,noscale would combine the two aspects above.
246
2472012-01-26 MickeM
248 * Fixed issue with parsing multiple performance data items (internally)
249 * Added option to CheckCounter format=nocap100 to not cap counters at 100% (for multi cpu machines)

265 * Fixed a race condition in the python unit test script
266
2672012-01-19 MickeM

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

1057     auto_detect_pdh and dont_use_pdh_index has been removed and instead there is a new method option that takes various values.
1058
10592008-04-03 MickeM
1060 * Moved COM init to "core" (from WMI module)
1061 + Added new Check command: CheckTaskSched Use like so:
1062     CheckTaskSched +filter-exit-code==1 ShowAll MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1
1063
10642008-03-21 MickeM
1065 + Added command line support for process checks
1066   New option: cmdLine will toggle so full command lines are used instead of just process names.
1067 + Added regular expression matching to process checks
1068   New option: match=regexp (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
1069 + Added substring matching to process checks
1070   New option: match=substr (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
1071   This is *NOT* case blind so might be hard to use, plan to add case blindness to it in the future.
1072 : Sample command: check_nt ... -v PROCSTATE -l cmdLine,match=regexp,.*exp.* -d SHOWALL
1073 * Ohh yeah... it is 2008 this year... not 2007, fixed a few entries in the change log :)
1074 - BREAKING CHANGE! -- Removed TOOLHELPER API as PSAPI is simpler and toolhelp is really only useful on w9x (which I don't officially support)

1090
10912008-03-08 MickeM
1092 * Changed so log is now in Unicode format
1093   Hopefully this will make it simpler to diagnose PDH issues in "strange locales".
1094   If anyone hates this let me know and I will add an option to use "old ansi log".
1095 * Fixed so the console is logged as ANSI (properly) and all Unicode's are discarded.
1096   This means "strangeness" in Unicode and non-us-ascii chars on the console,
1097    so for details refer to the log-file which is proper Unicode.
1098 + Since log module is loaded "after" the client has booted I added a "hello" message that prints the current version
1099    (if you find this annoying let me know, I will make it optional :)
1100 * Fixed some issues in the registry handling
1101
11022008-03-06 MickeM
1103 * Fixed silly ordering bug with the <> syntax.
1104
11052008-03-05 MickeM
1106 + 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.
1107 + Added syntax to new section [Eventlog] used as a shorthand for the syntax to use as "default" (when no syntax=... option is given)
1108 * Fixed an issue with eventlog and . matching.
1109 + Added shorthand ! for != in "all" numeric filters (eventlog)
1110 + Added <> (same as ! and !=) as NRPE breaks the use of ! (in "all" numeric filters (eventlog))
1111   Try using: filter-eventType=<>warning to remove everything that is not a warning
1112 * Fixed two spelling mistakes in the SysTray module.
1113 * Fixed 64-bit issues with installer
1114 * Fixed so installer uninstalls/installs the service

1120 * Fixed issues in the NRPE module (now returns the correct status)
1121 + Added a lot of "error log" for when the packet size in NRPEListener is not correct

1123
11242008-02-20 MickeM
1125 + Added new module NRPEClient that can act as a NRPE client, might be useful for testing things and
1126   eventually for relaying events.
1127   Usage: nsclient++ -noboot NRPEClient -H 192.168.0.1 -p 5666 -c check_something -a foo bar
1128   This is an early concept so don't expect much...
1129 * Fixed a bug in NSCA module (now it works again :)
1130 + Added a command wrapper for the NRPECLient module so now it can act as a check command.
1131   (No argument handling yet though), For a sample check out the [NRPE Client Handlers] section in NSC.ini
1132
11332008-02-19 MickeM
1134 + Fixed a buffer overflow in the NRPE socket handling.
1135 
11362008-02-18 MickeM
1137 + Added proper output handling to process subsystem (now you can execute programs that return "much" data.
1138 + Added select support for SSL_write (now you can send "any amount of data" to the (SSL) socket.
1139   Since check_nrpe doesn't do this it wont work in that end, but still...
1140
11412008-02-16 MickeM
1142 + Re factored ExternalCommand handling so NRPE and new module does the same thing.
1143
11442008-02-14 MickeM
1145 + Added so commands starting in host_ (NSCA Handlers) are sent as host-commands
1146 * Fixed a copy constructor in NSCA Commands (now service checks are sent as service checks)
1147
11482008-02-13 MickeM
1149 + Added string_length to [Settings] as well (used internally) for all "injected" buffers.
1150 * Fixed issue with scripts result truncated after 1024 chars
1151    (now they return "all" output and thus you can use the NRPE settings I added yesterday :)
1152 + Added hostname setting to [NSCA] section (must have been  when I did not add it before)
1153 + Added to NSCA truncates output when to long.
1154
11552008-02-12 MickeM
1156 + Added new option for the [NRPE] section string_length which is the length of the NRPE strings
1157   (notice you need to recompile the check_nrpe to match this value)
1158 * Improved exception handling in the PDH collector (hopefully less deadlocks)
1159
11602008-02-11 MickeM
1161 + Added encryption support for NSCA module (about half of the algorithms are available,
1162     if someone wants to use one not available let me know, and I will try to add it)
1163
11642008-02-09 MickeM
1165 + New module CheckExternalScripts to handle 1, external script (similar to the old NRPE but in its own module)
1166   - Can Check batch/vbs/programs/*
1167   - Works with NSCA module (if you don't want to have NRPE at the same time)
1168   - Simpler syntax (discarded old and added new section for alias)
1169   - Started to add "sample alias" to ease initial setup and give some nice ideas (please provide me with feedback on them)
1170
11712008-02-08 MickeM
1172 + Added some more default catch handlers (on the "core" side of plugin-calls).
1173
11742008-02-07 MickeM
1175 + Added default catch handlers to all wrapped plug in calls.
1176
11772008-02-05 MickeM

1187 + Added command descriptions (for some modules)
1188 * Fixed issue in NRPE that displayed a console window when running commands

1193
11942008-02-02 MickeM
1195 * Might have fixed the "missing eventlog messages" problem.
1196 + Added %count% parameter to syntax which (when used with unique) will display the number of hits for each message displayed.
1197
11982008-01-27 MickeM
1199 * Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
1200 * Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check
1201 + Added %message% to eventlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer.
1202   For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set
1203   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
1204 + Added option "unique" to CheckEventLog If this is present only unique errors will be returned.
1205   The uniqueness is defined by event-log, event-source, event-id and event-category.
1206
12072007-12-16 MickeM

1216
12172007-12-09 MickeM

1220    * a default-catch
1221    * If the socket fails to start we still wait for it to shut down (no error message)
1222 + Added first version of the NSCA agent (NSCAgent.dll)
1223   (no encryption support as of yet, but will come)

1241 + added support for  <date strings> to check_nt:s FILEAGE command, Issue #39
1242    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 ...
1243    Only the above listed %<char> works, and default to 0 so might not be to pretty but works...

1258 * Fixed some missing exceptions that were not caught
1259 + Added "AliasCol" option to CheckWMIValue to allow a column to be used as "alias" for a result set:
1260     CheckWMIValue -a "Query=select Caption, ThreadCount from Win32_Process" MaxWarn=50 MaxCrit=100 Check:threads=ThreadCount AliasCol=Caption
1261    will give you: "System threads: 98 > warning, svchost.exe threads: 87 > warning"

1292
12932007-11-08 MickeM

1325 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
1326 * 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.
1327
13282007-06-20 MickeM
1329 * Fixed #24 crash in NSClient++.exe CheckSystem listpdh | debugpdh
1330 * Fixed #62 Problems with CheckServiceState and services with spaces.

1343
13442007-02-25 MickeM

1372 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
1373 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)
1374 * Fixed : (and possibly other problems) in counters when checking from check_nt (via NSCLient protocol)
1375 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
1376 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
1377
13782006-10-05 MickeM
1379 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
1380 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
1381   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
1382 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
1383   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
1384   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
1385   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
1386   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
1387   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
1388   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
1389
13902006-04-04 MickeM
1391 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
1392
13932006-04-02 MickeM

14032006-03-28 MickeM
1404 + Added REG/INI parsers
1405 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
1406
14072006-03-25 MickeM
1408 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
1409
14102006-03-02 MickeM
1411 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
1412
14132006-03-01 MickeM
1414 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
1415
14162006-02-26 MickeM
1417 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
1418
14192006-02-25 MickeM
1420 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
1421 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
1422   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
1423   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
1424 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
1425 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
1426 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
1427   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.
1428   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.
1429 - 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.
1430 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
1431 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
1432 
14332006-02-2? MickeM
1434 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
1435   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
1436 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
1437   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
1438   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
1439   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
1440 * 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).
1441 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
1442 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
1443
14442006-02-12 MickeM
1445 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
1446
14472006-02-08 MickeM
1448 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
1449 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
1450
14512006-02-07 MickeM
1452 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
1453 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
1454
14552006-02-05 MickeM
1456 + Added CheckFile check command
1457   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
1458 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
1459 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
1460 
14612006-01-21 MickeM
1462 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
1463   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
1464   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
1465   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
1466   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
1467   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
1468   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
1469   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
1470   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
1471  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
1472
14732006-01-02 MickeM
1474 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
1475 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
1476   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
1477 * Fixed syntax of performance data
1478
14792005-09-24 MickeM
1480 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
1481
14822005-09-20 MickeM
1483 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh
1484

1492
14932005-07-31 MickeM
1494 + /install now sets the service to autostart
1495 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
1496 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
1497 + Added service description
1498 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
1499
15002005-07-26 MickeM
1501 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
1502 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
1503
15042005-07-19 MickeM
1505 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
1506 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
1507
15082005-07-16 MickeM
1509 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
1510
15112005-07-11 MickeM

1513   have been extended to check a lot more things.
1514   *NOTICE* that EventLog has not been upgraded yet neither has the documentation.
