11
122006-02-22 MickeM
13 + Added debug output to see if the socket is bound and/or has shutdown.
14 * Fixed a potential bug in the threadmanager.
15 + Added configuration option for suppressing performance datat to the NRPE section.
16   Set performance_data=0 to stop sendoing performancedata to nagios
17 + New (better?) (simpler?) eventlog checking
18 + Added option to most commands (ignore-perf-data) to suppres performance data
19 + Added option CheckAll for checking all auto-start services to checkServiceState.
20   Also an exclude=<service> to exclude checking that.
21 * Fixed return syntax for PROCSTATE nsclient
22
232006-02-21 MickeM
24 * Fixed "broken password check" (again) in NSClient listener (this time it is correct! :)
25
262006-12-02 MickeM
27 + Managed to build so it works on NT 4.0 (SP6a) and W2K3
28 * Fixed "broken password check" in NSClient listener
29
302006-11-18 MickeM
31 + Added support for empty NRPE checking (i.e.. chec_nrpe without a -c argument)
32 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
33 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)
34 * Fixed : (and possibly other problems) in counters when checking from check_nt (via NSCLient protocol)
35 + Added CheckAllExcept to CheckDrive to check all except the specified drives.
36 * Fixed a display error in the variouse size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
37
382006-10-05 MickeM
39 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
40 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
41   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
42 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
43   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
44   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
45   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
46   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
47   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
48   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
49
502006-04-04 MickeM
51 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
52
532006-04-02 MickeM
54 * Could all magicians stop trying to kill me?
55   *Please* i don't like to die!
56
572006-03-31 MickeM
58 * Damn necromancers! stop 0wning my ass all the time!
59 
602006-03-29 MickeM
61 + Added API for saving/reading settings
62 
632006-03-28 MickeM
64 + Added REG/INI parsers
65 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
66
672006-03-25 MickeM
68 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
69
702006-03-02 MickeM
71 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
72
732006-03-01 MickeM
74 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
75
762006-02-26 MickeM
77 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
78
792006-02-25 MickeM
80 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
81 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
82   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
83   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
84 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
85 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
86 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
87   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.
88   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.
89 - 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.
90 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
91 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
92 
932006-02-2? MickeM
94 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
95   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
96 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
97   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
98   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
99   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
100 * 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).
101 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
102 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
103
1042006-02-12 MickeM
105 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
106
1072006-02-08 MickeM
108 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
109 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
110
1112006-02-07 MickeM
112 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
113 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
114
1152006-02-05 MickeM
116 + Added CheckFile check command
117   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
118 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
119 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
120 
1212006-01-21 MickeM
122 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
123   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
124   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
125   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
126   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
127   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
128   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
129   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
130   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
131  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
132
1332006-01-02 MickeM
134 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
135 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)
136   Since I don't have this much memory this needs to be verified...
137 * Fixed syntax of performance data
138
1392005-09-24 MickeM
140 * Fixed memory size bug (free and used were swapped)
141
1422005-09-20 MickeM
143 + Added option to debug all PDH counters /debugpdh
144
1452005-09-17 MickeM

152
1532005-07-31 MickeM
154 + /install now sets the service to autostart
155 * Did some cleanup of minor code sections
156 * (done before but not reported i think) /listpdh option added to list all PDH counters (nsclient++ /listpdh)
157 + Added service description
158 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
159
1602005-07-26 MickeM
161 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
162 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
163
1642005-07-19 MickeM
165 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
166 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
167
1682005-07-16 MickeM
169 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
170
1712005-07-11 MickeM
172 * *ALOT* of bug fixes and enhancements all checking code has been centralized and rewritten also my internal check scripts
173   have been extended to check a lot more things.
