Opsview Community Edition 3.7.2 Released!

Release Date: 
08 Jul 2010

We are pleased to announce the release of Opsview Community edition 3.7.2.

New features

  • Query Host functionality extended to include errors and discards with warning and critical alerts based on rate.
  • 'SNMP Polling' service checks now provide an option to compute rate. Supported intervals are one second, one minute and one hour

Enhancements

  • Up to 75% performance improvement when inserting service checks into the Runtime database
  • Updated Host Interfaces page, with errors/discards graph
  • SNMP Polling service check allows setting of performance data label (note, this will lose history)
  • SNMP Polling service check allows alerting on "string not equal"
  • check_http plugin now displays string, hostname and URL when string check fails
  • Updated Nagios Plugins to 1.4.15 release candidate

Bug fixes

  • Fixed bug where notification_interval is 0 but was set to a different value in the generated Nagios configuration
  • Fixed bug in import_excel where host check command was ignored, and added monitored_by field
  • Fixed bug where additional languages were listed incorrect
  • Fixed bug in RSS feed on Solaris 10
  • Add in SNMPv3 privacy password option to check_snmp_sysinfo (thanks to Rafael Carneiro)
  • Fixed bug where you could not delete a host where it has an snmpwalkcache in the database. Also affects host comments
  • Fixed "Show Macro Help" text for host attributes
  • Fixed check_snmp_linkstatus for Windows servers, which sometimes includes \0 characters
  • Fixed command parsing and usage on check_snmp_runningproc
  • Fixed check_snmp_runningproc extension processing (thanks to Killian Faughnan)
  • Fixed check_ifstatus not accepting version=2c (Brian Landers)

Notices

  • check_http -o is deprecated as this is the default output from the plugin in a "search string failure" mode
  • The arguments for the Interface service check will be converted by the upgrade script due to new errors/discards functionality
  • There will be an error in the upgrade script if the Interface service check has been renamed
  • There will be an error in the upgrade script if there already are service checks called "Errors" or "Discards"
  • Upgrades may take some time due to index changes to runtime.nagios_servicechecks table. You can mitigate this by deleting old data first: DELETE FROM nagios_servicechecks WHERE start_time <= (NOW() - INTERVAL 1 DAY). If you are upgrading from Opsview 3.7.0 (which had the housekeeping bug), you should run the above DELETE, otherwise there will be a lot of data to convert. As a rough estimate, about 700,000 rows takes about 5 minutes to convert
