0.4.2 RC3 (0.4.2.66)
Posted by mickem at 2013-12-06
Hello Yahoo search bot!
Another week another release candidate.
This time I hope all CheckSystem commands should work in compatibility mode. There is one important snag currently which is that multiple warn/crit thresholds are now silently ignored. This is due to a shift in how the newer version works.
Before NSClient++ had a position based argument system which means that order mattered as this was confusing the newer commands instead have a key-based argument system meaning two arguments of things that does not stack is not possible.
I have also added some really nice features chief among them is the new lua script check_cpu_ex which provide top consumers in the check_cpu command.
I have also added %() for all expressions (before \${}) to make escaping simpler in Nagios.
You can find the latest RC if you click the http://nsclient.org/nscp/downloads in the top right corner! Look for 0.4.2.66
