9 + Added encryption support for NSCA module (about half of the algorithms are avalible,
10     if someone wants to use one not available let me know, and I will try to add it)
11
122008-02-09 MickeM
13 + New module CheckExternalScripts to handle 1, external script (similar to the old NRPE but in its own module)
14   - Can Check batch/vbs/programs/*
15   - Works with NSCA module (if you don't want to have NRPE at the same time)
16   - Simpler syntax (discarded old and added new section for alias)
17   - Started to add "sample alias" to ease initial setup and give some nice ideas (please provide me with feedback on them)
18
192008-02-08 MickeM
20 + Added some more default catch handlers (on the "core" side of plugin-calls).
21
222008-02-07 MickeM
23 + Added default catch handlers to all wrapped plugin calls.
24
252008-02-05 MickeM
26 * Fixed issue with checkEventLog (sometimes you got the wrong message back)
27
282008-02-04 MickeM
29 *** Happy Birthday bogi!! :)
30 * Fixed issues with performance counter rendering (mainly checkDisk)
31
322008-02-03 MickeM
33 + Added encryption subsystem to NSCA module (still no mcrypt support, but at least you have "xor" and passwords)
34 + Added API for scripts to register commands
35 + Added command descriptions (for some modules)
36 * Fixed issue in NRPE that displayed a console window when running commands
37 * New improved "inject" dialog from the system tray
38   Lists available commands, and shows command descriptions and a lot of other improvements.
39 + Added an internal log windows that displays log in real-time.
40 + Fixed some issues with the dialog procs (should work smoother now, especially Termination)
41
422008-02-02 MickeM
43 * Might have fixed the "missing eventlog messages" problem.
44 + Added %count% parameter to syntax which (when used with unique) will display the number of hits for each message displayed.
45
462008-01-27 MickeM
47 * Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
48 * Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check
49 + Added %message% to eventlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer.
50   For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set
51   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
52 + Added option "unique" to CheckEventLog If this is present only unique errors will be returned.
53   The uniqueness is defined by event-log, event-source, event-id and event-category.
54

652007-12-09 MickeM
66 + Added a check if the service is started when running with /test so you get a warning
67 + Improved the socket thread with:
68    * a default-catch
69    * If the socket fails to start we still wait for it to shut down (no error message)
70 + Added first version of the NSCA agent (NSCAgent.dll)
71   (no encryption support as of yet, but will come)

89 + added support for  <date strings> to check_nt:s FILEAGE command, Issue #39
90    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 ...
91    Only the above listed %<char> works, and default to 0 so might not be to pretty but works...

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

173 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
174 * 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.

216 * Fixed "broken password check" in NSClient listener
217
2182006-11-18 MickeM
219 + Added support for empty NRPE checking (i.e.. chec_nrpe without a -c argument)
220 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
221 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)

223 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
224 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
225
2262006-10-05 MickeM
227 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
228 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
229   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
230 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
231   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
232   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
233   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
234   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
235   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
236   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
237
2382006-04-04 MickeM
239 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
240
2412006-04-02 MickeM
242 * Could all magicians stop trying to kill me?
243   *Please* i don't like to die!
244
2452006-03-31 MickeM
246 * Damn necromancers! stop 0wning my ass all the time!
247 
2482006-03-29 MickeM
249 + Added API for saving/reading settings
250 
2512006-03-28 MickeM
252 + Added REG/INI parsers
253 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
254
2552006-03-25 MickeM
256 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
257
2582006-03-02 MickeM
259 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
260
2612006-03-01 MickeM
262 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
263
2642006-02-26 MickeM
265 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
266
2672006-02-25 MickeM
268 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
269 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
270   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
271   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
272 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
273 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
274 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
275   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.
276   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.
277 - 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.
278 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
279 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
280 
2812006-02-2? MickeM
282 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
283   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
284 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
285   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
286   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
287   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
288 * 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).
289 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
290 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
291
2922006-02-12 MickeM
293 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
294
2952006-02-08 MickeM
296 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
297 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
298
2992006-02-07 MickeM
300 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
301 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
302
3032006-02-05 MickeM
304 + Added CheckFile check command
305   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
306 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
307 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
308 
3092006-01-21 MickeM
310 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
311   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
312   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
313   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
314   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
315   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
316   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
317   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
318   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
319  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
320
3212006-01-02 MickeM
322 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
323 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
324   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
325 * Fixed syntax of performance data
326
3272005-09-24 MickeM
328 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
329
3302005-09-20 MickeM
331 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh
332
3332005-09-17 MickeM

339 + Added several new types to checkMem (type=paged, type=physical, type=page, type=virtual)
340
3412005-07-31 MickeM
342 + /install now sets the service to autostart
343 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
344 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
345 + Added service description
346 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
347
3482005-07-26 MickeM
349 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
350 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
351
3522005-07-19 MickeM
353 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
354 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
355
3562005-07-16 MickeM
357 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
358
3592005-07-11 MickeM
360 * *ALOT* of bug fixes and enhancements all checking code has been centralized and rewritten also my internal check scripts
361   have been extended to check a lot more things.
362   *NOTICE* that EventLog has not been upgraded yet neither has the documentation.
