 | 
						|
	New check_icmp -s option to specify the source IP address
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
	Fix segfault in check_ntp_time and (deprecated) check_ntp (Bug #1862300)
 | 
						|
	check_disk should now work with large file systems (2TB+) on all archs that supports it
 | 
						|
	Fixed check_disk disk usage calculation when using --group=NAME (related to bug #1348746)
 | 
						|
	Fix help text of check_ntp* (Bug #1880095)
 | 
						|
	Fix bugs and flaws in best offset server selection of check_ntp_time and (deprecated) check_ntp
 | 
						|
	check_ntp_peer now checks for the LI_ALARM flag
 | 
						|
	Sync to latest Gnulib (includes new floorf function)
 | 
						|
	check_pgsql now successfully builds with postgres lib v8.3 (Bug #1878972)  
 | 
						|
	check_procs now accepts --ereg-argument-array for a regular expression match to the argument array
 | 
						|
	Reverted back to using pst3 for Solaris systems. Fixed issues re: -m64 needed to compile on 64bit systems
 | 
						|
	If applicable, Gettext linked dynamically instead of statically
 | 
						|
	check_dig can now pass arguments to dig by using -A/--dig-arguments (#1874041/#1889453)
 | 
						|
	check_ntp and check_ntp_peer now show proper jitter/stratum thresholds longopts in --help
 | 
						|
	check_dns now allow to repeat -a to match multiple possibly returned address (common with load balancers)
 | 
						|
	check_mysql and check_radius now try clearing password in processlist just like check_mysql_query
 | 
						|
	check_mysql and check_mysql_query now support sockets explicitely (-s, --socket)
 | 
						|
	negate now has the ability to replace the status text as well (-s, --substitute)
 | 
						|
	Added performance data to check_ping (Christian Schneemann)
 | 
						|
	Added support for --extra-opts in all C plugins (disabled by default, see configure --help)
 | 
						|
	Fixed passive option in check_by_ssh
 | 
						|
	On non-skipped stderr, check_by_ssh now returns UNKNOWN or worse (result from command) instead of always UNKNOWN.
 | 
						|
	Fix linking against OpenSSL where libdl is required
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1.4.11 13th December 2007
 | 
						|
	Fixed check_http regression in 1.4.10 where following redirects to
 | 
						|
	  relative URLs on virtual hosts failed if both "-H" and "-I" were used
 | 
						|
	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
 | 
						|
	  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.
 | 
						|
	Fixed broken usage2 in check_snmp and check_cluster
 | 
						|
	check_cluster now accepts all valid characters in its thresholds ("-", "@", "~")
 | 
						|
	Fixed check_disk reporting OK if disk usage grows over 100% (bug #1348746).
 | 
						|
	  The problem happens to be in Gnulib but a workaround have been implemented in check_disk.c
 | 
						|
	Fixed check_load argument handling when not passing triplets (bug #1831890)
 | 
						|
	Fixed buffer overflow in check_snmp (CVE-2007-5623)
 | 
						|
	Tinderbox builds now runs tests in a verbose mode
 | 
						|
	Updated Nagios::Plugin to 0.22
 | 
						|
	VPATH problem fixed for compiling plugins-root
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1.4.10 28th September 2007
 | 
						|
	Fix check_http buffer overflow vulnerability when following HTTP redirects (CVE-2007-5198)
 | 
						|
	check_http now explicitly asks HTTP/1.1 servers to close the connection
 | 
						|
	  after completion of the response
 | 
						|
	Check_ldaps' guessing which secure method to use (starttls vs. ssl on connect)
 | 
						|
	  is now deprecated. See --help for further information.
 | 
						|
	Check_disk now calls stat() on all filesystems to check. (Old: only the ones selected using -p)
 | 
						|
	  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
 | 
						|
	New check_dhcp -u/--unicast option for emulating a DHCP relay in order
 | 
						|
	  to check DHCP servers on remote networks
 | 
						|
	New check_dhcp -m/--mac option which allows for specifying the MAC
 | 
						|
	  address to use in the DHCP request
 | 
						|
	The check_dhcp -r and -s options now accept host names, too
 | 
						|
	Fix possible check_icmp bus errors on some (non-x86/AMD64) platforms
 | 
						|
	Fix check_smtp's handling of multiple-packet server responses
 | 
						|
	WARNING: Fix for negate which may break existing commands:
 | 
						|
	  - stop evaluating command line options through shell twice
 | 
						|
	  - enforce a full path for the command to run
 | 
						|
	The "negate" utility can now remap custom states
 | 
						|
	Check_radius now supports radiusclient-ng
 | 
						|
	The (undocumented) positional parameter parsing which check_radius used
 | 
						|
	  instead of getopt(3) if 8 arguments were given is no longer available
 | 
						|
	Check_by_ssh now supports multiline output
 | 
						|
	IPv6 support can now be disabled using ./configure --without-ipv6
 | 
						|
	Fix check_ntp now honor ntp flags
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|

 | 
						|
	Fix compilation of check_ldap, check_radius and check_pgsql
 | 
						|
	check_load can optionally divide by number of cpus
 | 
						|
	Fix check_time returning wrong OK when time is before the epoch on some arch
 | 
						|
	Make check_http output more consistent
 | 
						|
	Fix possible check_http segfaults when following HTTP redirects
 | 
						|
	check_snmp don't warn anymore if something is printed on stderr
 | 
						|
	Fix check_tcp segfault when multiple expect strings are given
 | 
						|
	New option for check_tcp: -A/--all to test if all given expect strings match
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
