612
6132008-05-14 MickeM
614 * Fixed memoryleak in the service checker.
615     I am really sorry I usualy write better code then this.
616
6172008-05-11 MickeM
618 * BREAKING CHANGE! -- Changed PDH options to a more uniform design:
619     auto_detect_pdh and dont_use_pdh_index has been removed and instead there is a new method option that takes various values.
620
6212008-04-03 MickeM
622 * Moved COM init to "core" (from WMI module)
623 + Added new Check command: CheckTaskSched Use like so:

628   New option: cmdLine will toggle so full command lines are used instead of just process names.
629 + Added regular expression matching to process checks
630   New option: match=regexp (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
631 + Added substring matching to process checks
632   New option: match=substr (match=strings is the default and "old" way)
633   This is *NOT* case blind so might be hard to use, plan to add case blindness to it in the future.
634 : Sample command: check_nt ... -v PROCSTATE -l cmdLine,match=regexp,.*exp.* -d SHOWALL
635 * Ohh yeah... it is 2008 this year... not 2007, fixed a few entries in the change log :)
636 - BREAKING CHANGE! -- Removed TOOLHELPER API as PSAPI is simpler and toolhelp is really only useful on w9x (which I don't officially support)
637
6382008-03-20 MickeM
639 + Added host-lookupos for NSCA server (#149)
640 + Added option (cache_hostname=1|0) to cache the NSCA host name (Ie. only lookup once)
641 * Fixed service check: check_nt -v SERVICESTATE -l CheckAll so it works as advertised (#150)
642 * Fixed issue with check_nt MEMUSE/CPULOAD/UPTIME if something is "broken" they will now return an error instead of "0". (#134)

651 ! 0.3.1 Released
652
6532008-03-08 MickeM
654 * Changed so log is now in Unicode format
655   Hopefully this will make it simpler to diagnose PDH issues in "strange locales".
656   If anyone hates this let me know and I will add an option to use "old ansi log".
657 * Fixed so the console is logged as ANSI (properly) and all Unicode's are discarded.
658   This means "strangeness" in Unicode and non-us-ascii chars on the console,
659    so for details refer to the log-file which is proper Unicode.
660 + Since log module is loaded "after" the client has booted I added a "hello" message that prints the current version
661    (if you find this annoying let me know, I will make it optional :)
662 * Fixed some issues in the registry handling
663
6642008-03-06 MickeM
665 * Fixed silly ordering bug with the <> syntax.
666
6672008-03-05 MickeM
668 + 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.
669 + Added syntax to new section [Eventlog] used as a shorthand for the syntax to use as "default" (when no syntax=... option is given)
670 * Fixed an issue with eventlog and . matching.
671 + Added shorthand ! for != in "all" numeric filters (eventlog)
672 + Added <> (same as ! and !=) as NRPE breaks the use of ! (in "all" numeric filters (eventlog))
673   Try using: filter-eventType=<>warning to remove everything that is not a warning
674 * Fixed two spelling mistakes in the SysTray module.
675 * Fixed 64-bit issues with installer
676 * Fixed so installer uninstalls/installs the service
677

679 + Added installer
680 
6812008-02-22 MickeM
682 * Fixed issues in the NRPE module (now returns the correct status)
683 + Added a lot of "error log" for when the packet size in NRPEListener is not correct
684    (might make it simpler to diagnose problems)
685
6862008-02-20 MickeM
687 + Added new module NRPEClient that can act as a NRPE client, might be useful for testing things and
688   eventually for relaying events.
689   Usage: nsclient++ -noboot NRPEClient -H 192.168.0.1 -p 5666 -c check_something -a foo bar
690   This is an early concept so don't expect much...
691 * Fixed a bug in NSCA module (now it works again :)
692 + Added a command wrapper for the NRPECLient module so now it can act as a check command.
693   (No argument handling yet though), For a sample check out the [NRPE Client Handlers] section in NSC.ini
694
6952008-02-19 MickeM
696 + Fixed a buffer overflow in the NRPE socket handling.
697 
6982008-02-18 MickeM
699 + Added proper output handling to process subsystem (now you can execute programs that return "much" data.
700 + Added select support for SSL_write (now you can send "any amount of data" to the (SSL) socket.
701   Since check_nrpe doesn't do this it wont work in that end, but still...
702
7032008-02-16 MickeM
704 + Re factored ExternalCommand handling so NRPE and new module does the same thing.
705
7062008-02-14 MickeM
707 + Added so commands starting in host_ (NSCA Handlers) are sent as host-commands
708 * Fixed a copy constructor in NSCA Commands (now service checks are sent as service checks)
709
7102008-02-13 MickeM
711 + Added string_length to [Settings] as well (used internally) for all "injected" buffers.
712 * Fixed issue with scripts result truncated after 1024 chars
713    (now they return "all" output and thus you can use the NRPE settings I added yesterday :)
714 + Added hostname setting to [NSCA] section (must have been  when I did not add it before)
715 + Added to NSCA truncates output when to long.
716
7172008-02-12 MickeM
718 + Added new option for the [NRPE] section string_length which is the length of the NRPE strings
719   (notice you need to recompile the check_nrpe to match this value)
720 * Improved exception handling in the PDH collector (hopefully less deadlocks)
721
7222008-02-11 MickeM
723 + Added encryption support for NSCA module (about half of the algorithms are available,
724     if someone wants to use one not available let me know, and I will try to add it)
725
7262008-02-09 MickeM
727 + New module CheckExternalScripts to handle 1, external script (similar to the old NRPE but in its own module)
728   - Can Check batch/vbs/programs/*
729   - Works with NSCA module (if you don't want to have NRPE at the same time)
730   - Simpler syntax (discarded old and added new section for alias)
731   - Started to add "sample alias" to ease initial setup and give some nice ideas (please provide me with feedback on them)
732
7332008-02-08 MickeM
734 + Added some more default catch handlers (on the "core" side of plugin-calls).
735
7362008-02-07 MickeM
737 + Added default catch handlers to all wrapped plug in calls.
738
7392008-02-05 MickeM

741
7422008-02-04 MickeM

744 * Fixed issues with performance counter rendering (mainly checkDisk)
745
7462008-02-03 MickeM

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

755
7562008-02-02 MickeM
757 * Might have fixed the "missing eventlog messages" problem.
758 + Added %count% parameter to syntax which (when used with unique) will display the number of hits for each message displayed.
759
7602008-01-27 MickeM
761 * Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
762 * Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check
763 + Added %message% to eventlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer.
764   For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set
765   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
766 + Added option "unique" to CheckEventLog If this is present only unique errors will be returned.
767   The uniqueness is defined by event-log, event-source, event-id and event-category.
768
7692007-12-16 MickeM
770 + A lot of new features in the LUA module only "arguments" missing (as well as exposing more of the API)
771 * Changed some exceptions that were thrown wrong

777 + Added initial draft for LUA module
778
7792007-12-09 MickeM
780 + Added a check if the service is started when running with /test so you get a warning
781 + Improved the socket thread with:
782    * a default-catch
783    * If the socket fails to start we still wait for it to shut down (no error message)
784 + Added first version of the NSCA agent (NSCAgent.dll)
785   (no encryption support as of yet, but will come)
786

803 + added support for  <date strings> to check_nt:s FILEAGE command, Issue #39
804    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 ...
805    Only the above listed %<char> works, and default to 0 so might not be to pretty but works...
806

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

887 * Fixed the "check memory" issues for real this time.
888 * 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.
889

934 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
935 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)
936 * Fixed : (and possibly other problems) in counters when checking from check_nt (via NSCLient protocol)
937 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
938 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
939
9402006-10-05 MickeM
941 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
942 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
943   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
944 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
945   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
946   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
947   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
948   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
949   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
950   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
951
9522006-04-04 MickeM

964 
9652006-03-28 MickeM
966 + Added REG/INI parsers

968
9692006-03-25 MickeM
970 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
971
9722006-03-02 MickeM
973 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
974
9752006-03-01 MickeM
976 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
977
9782006-02-26 MickeM
979 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
980
9812006-02-25 MickeM
982 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
983 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
984   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
985   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
986 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
987 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
988 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
989   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.
990   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.
991 - 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.
992 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
993 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
994 
9952006-02-2? MickeM
996 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
997   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
998 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
999   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
1000   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
1001   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
1002 * 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).
1003 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
1004 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
1005
10062006-02-12 MickeM
1007 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
1008
10092006-02-08 MickeM
1010 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
1011 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
1012
10132006-02-07 MickeM
1014 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
1015 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
1016
10172006-02-05 MickeM
1018 + Added CheckFile check command
1019   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
1020 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
1021 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
1022 
10232006-01-21 MickeM
1024 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
1025   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
1026   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
1027   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
1028   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
1029   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
1030   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
1031   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
1032   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
1033  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
1034
10352006-01-02 MickeM
1036 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
1037 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
1038   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
1039 * Fixed syntax of performance data
1040
10412005-09-24 MickeM
1042 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
1043
10442005-09-20 MickeM
1045 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh

1054
10552005-07-31 MickeM
1056 + /install now sets the service to autostart
1057 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
1058 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
1059 + Added service description
1060 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
1061
10622005-07-26 MickeM
1063 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
1064 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
1065
10662005-07-19 MickeM
1067 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
1068 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
1069
10702005-07-16 MickeM
1071 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
1072
10732005-07-11 MickeM
