ENHANCEMENTS
check_mailq now supports auto detection of qmail, postfix, exim and nullmailer with
fallback to sendmail
check_ide_smart now defaults to plugin output, original output appended with -v
Extra-Opts are now enabled by default, see:
https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/extra-opts.html
check_swap now supports a configurable state when there is no swap
check_radius now supports the FreeRADIUS Client library
New check_mysql_query -f option to specify a client options file

check_ide_smart could disable offline auto tests but could not re-enable them.

2016-11-30 11:36:55 +00:00
check_dig: fix wrong IPv6 arguments order
2014-07-11 19:01:00 +00:00

Fix compilation with GnuTLS
WARNINGS
New default installation prefix: /usr/local instead of /usr/local/nagios
check_snmp now evaluates negative values properly, which means it might return CRITICAL
in cases where it used to return OK. If this is undesired, the warning/critical
threshold(s) must be fixed by specifying e.g. ~:100 instead of 100
check_procs now ignores its parent process to avoid unexpected results when invoked via
certain shells
utils.sh no longer defines ECH
check_ide_smart -q/--quiet and -n/--nagios (Nagios-compatible output) are now deprecated
but accepted for backward-compatibility
check_ide_smart -0/--auto-off, -1/--auto-on and -i/--immediate: options have
been disabled because they were broken
State retention: the NAGIOS_PLUGIN_STATE_DIRECTORY environment variable has been
renamed MP_STATE_PATH. The old variable will continue to work in v2.0.x
Add the UID of the invoking user to the state retention file path. This helps solving
permission issues when different users run the same plugin
check_swap used to allow returning OK on a system without swap when only percent thresholds
were used. This is no longer the case and one must now use -n/--no-swap=<state>
The Perl and Shell plugins now use the PATH specified via ./configure's --trusted-path
option, or "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" by default

2013-11-26 22:55:28 +00:00
Merged two new checks that deprecates check_ntp: check_ntp_peer and check_ntp_time.
You should read the --help output so see which one is suitable for you. check_ntp_peer
implement stratum thresholds support (feature request #1703823).
check_ntp now returns UNKNOWN instead of WARNING if jitter is unavailable (jitter=-1.000000)
as long as the thresholds range include -1. If no offset threshold is specified
2013-11-26 22:54:57 +00:00
and the offset is unavailable, will return UNKNOWN as well.
NOTE: If jitter thresholds are specified as integers it will return CRITICAL if jitter
is "-1" as the default range starts at 0. See Examples in --help output.
2013-11-26 22:55:28 +00:00

2013-11-26 22:54:57 +00:00
Check_disk now calls stat() on all filesystems to check. (Old: only the ones selected using -p)
2013-11-26 22:54:42 +00:00
A meaningful error message (eg "Stale NFS Handle") is printed if stat fails.
New check_disk option -L: Only check local filesystems, but call stat() on remote ones, too.
Thus accessibility of remote filesystems can be checked without any threshold comparison.
Check_disk's --help now prints some examples for the new features introduced in 1.4.8
New check_disk -i/-I option to ignore pathes/partitions based on regular expressions
New check_disk -A option to select all filesystems explicitly
WARNING: check_disk's -E option must now be passed before -p or -r/-R arguments
Passing -E after -p or -r results in UNKNOWN state, now
This is needed due to the new ignore feature
Fix check_disk bug when mixing case sensitive and case insensitive regex arguments

Major bug fixes to check_disk where values were incorrectly calculated and alerted on.
