Shinken v0.2 Release Notes
Release Date: 2010-09-06 // over 13 years ago-
✨ ENHANCEMENTS *New code layout *Installation is easy with the setup.py process (first version from Maximilien Bersoult) *Now compatible with Pyro 3 AND 4 *Now compatible with Python 2.4 and 2.5 too *Add sticky acknowledgement. Non-permanent ack-comments are now automatically removed *Add host acknowledgement and acknowledgement stickiness *Finished service problem acknowledgement. one more testcase *Add REMOVE_HOST/SVC_ACKNOWLEDGEMENT external command *Now broker get broks from pollers and reactionners. (Useful for Logs) *Give Broker a way to make broks :) (like for it's own log) *Add a problem/incident change states when apply. But it do not interfer with the standard check way of doing (or at least should not). *Add some LSB init.d scripts *Add max_plugins_output_length parameter to limit the checks output size. *"Hack" the old nagios parameters: now status_file and nagios_log are catched. If the user defined them, but do not defined the good broker modules, we create them "on the fly". I hope one day we will remove it... *Nested macros are managed (like USERN in ARGN macro). *Add a pass about changing Nagios2 properties to Nagios3 ones. *Add json outputformat to the livestatus module *Add a broker module npcdmod (plus test_npcdmod) which writes a perfdata file suitable for pnp4nagios *Add check_period implicitly inheritate to service from host. *Redesign of the notifications (far easier to understand than the old async way) *Notice about unused parameters and explain why it can be removed from conf. *Catch non standard return code in actions.py so we can add stderr to the output for such cases. *Now arbiter host_name property is not mandatory. But WARNING: for a multiple arbiter conf, it must be set. *Updated cfg documentation (Author: Luke L [email protected]) *Add documentation about date range format because it was not documented. *Update the nagios to shinken migration file *Change the way broks are send from Arbiter to Broker: before, the Broker connect to the Arbiter, take broks like for schedulers. But Arbiter also connect to broker. That's a nightmare about hangout. Now, Arbiter push the broks. It's far more easy and efficient. *Add template handling to servicedependencies *Add test_dependencies as the regression test *Less status_dat verbosity :) *Add a last_perf_data + macros to access last perfdatas as in https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/shinken/ticket/76 *HUGE clean on shinken-specific.cfg file. *Add a README file *Add a little note about how migrate from Nagios to Shinken *Add a hint about how solve 'cannot find my own arbiter' error message. *Add bin directory with some bash scripts to launch/stop the whole application. *Relative path, now we can have a easy portable sample configuration. (Gerhard) *Add two missing operators in livestatus.py *Big clean up conf sample! *No more modulespath need in brokerd.ini. Will be easier for packagers. *Acknowledgement test cases *Add some hard tests about timeperiods calculations *Add a test.sh script for Hudson test (launch all tests) *Add a problem/impact test. *Now external modules can return objects (from now nobody use it, but it can be useful in the future) *Make easier to raise checks/notificatiosn from in deep objects class. *repository cosmetics (Luke L)
🛠 FIXES *Fix: now merlin is correctly filled with update program value *Bug Fix: ndo do not have command_file, so do not export it. *Bug fix: retention load was loading not good tab (impacts ones) and so cause problem with remove (not the good object!) (nicolas.dupeux) *Fix a bug in ACKNOWLEDGE_SVC_PROBLEM ext. command. Sticky can be 0/1/2, not bool *Bug fix in find_day_by_weekday_offset. *Bug Fix: when a date was calcl before teh ref time for a weekday it was not recalculated, so problem. *Bug Fix: error in get_end_of_day. It was given the first secon of the next day, so some exclude make problem with it. *Bug Fix: shell like commands where not good :(. Thanks to Gilles Seban for pointing it and to Hiren Patel for giving a list of shell caracters (so we know if we should use shell or not :) ) *Bug fix: external commands to send checks should work now *Bug fix: Arbiter do not more crash when scheduler is down and broker is up (not initialized make a missign parameter) *Bug Fix: cehck orphaned was badly status set. Thanks Pylint. *Bug fix: host in unreach were set DOWN un state, but unreach in state_id. Now it say clearly it's UNREACHABLE. *Bug: retention was loading services objects from retention file. It's not good at all. *Fix a and -> or bug in the dependancies *Fix a bug in livestatus. state_type is now a number instead of HARD/SOFT *Fix a bug in the livestatus module. Eventhandler command is now serializable *Fix a bug in execute_unix. If there is an exception during plugin execution, use it's string representation as plugin_output *Fix a bug in the livestatus module.
