81 check_mailq now supports auto detection of qmail, postfix, exim and nullmailer with
82 fallback to sendmail

85 https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/extra-opts.html
86 check_swap now supports a configurable state when there is no swap
87 check_radius now supports the FreeRADIUS Client library

89 New check_mysql_query -g option to specify a client options group
90 Add performance data to check_mysql_query
91 New check_file_age -i/--ignore-missing option to return OK on nonexistent files
92 Make check_ping, check_users, and check_disk work on Windows

98 Don't have check_http's -N option expect an argument
99 check_ide_smart could disable offline auto tests but could not re-enable them.
100 For this reason all SMART command modes have been disabled.
101 check_dig: fix wrong IPv6 arguments order (Stéphane Bortzmeyer)
102 check_dig: make sure not to give up too early when a timeout is specified with -t
103 check_log: don't stumble over log lines that include a "%" character
104 check_nt: add UPTIME to perfdata
105 Handle SNMPv3 noAuthNoPriv properly with check_snmp
106 Fix compilation with GnuTLS
108 WARNINGS
109 New default installation prefix: /usr/local instead of /usr/local/nagios
110 check_snmp now evaluates negative values properly, which means it might return CRITICAL
111 in cases where it used to return OK. If this is undesired, the warning/critical
112 threshold(s) must be fixed by specifying e.g. ~:100 instead of 100
113 check_procs now ignores its parent process to avoid unexpected results when invoked via
114 certain shells
115 utils.sh no longer defines ECH
116 check_ide_smart -q/--quiet and -n/--nagios (Nagios-compatible output) are now deprecated
117 but accepted for backward-compatibility
118 check_ide_smart -0/--auto-off, -1/--auto-on and -i/--immediate: options have
119 been disabled because they were broken
120 State retention: the NAGIOS_PLUGIN_STATE_DIRECTORY environment variable has been
121 renamed MP_STATE_PATH. The old variable will continue to work in v2.0.x
122 Add the UID of the invoking user to the state retention file path. This helps solving
123 permission issues when different users run the same plugin
124 check_swap used to allow returning OK on a system without swap when only percent thresholds
125 were used. This is no longer the case and one must now use -n/--no-swap=<state>
126 The Perl and Shell plugins now use the PATH specified via ./configure's --trusted-path
127 option, or "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" by default
129 1.5 2nd October 2013

151 Let check_fping support IPv6
152 New check_procs -k option to ignore kernel threads (on Linux)
153 Let check_procs use /proc/<PID>/exe (if available) instead of getpid(2), unless -T is specified
154 Let check_mysql support SSL
155 Let check_mysql add perfromance metrics for all checks
156 New check_mysql -f option to specify a client options file
157 New check_mysql -g option to specify a client options group

170 Fix deprecated imports of check_nmap.py (Fabio Rueda)
172 WARNINGS
173 check_http behaviour of -k/--header changed since it does not seperate multiple headers by semicolons anymore. Use multiple -k switches instead.
174 check_http's --proxy_authorization option is now called --proxy-authorization (it was always documented this way)
175 The contrib directory has been removed from this distribution

333 Fixed check_http regression in 1.4.10 where following redirects to

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

355 check_http now explicitly asks HTTP/1.1 servers to close the connection
356 after completion of the response
357 Check_ldaps' guessing which secure method to use (starttls vs. ssl on connect)
358 is now deprecated. See --help for further information.
359 Check_disk now calls stat() on all filesystems to check. (Old: only the ones selected using -p)
360 A meaningful error message (eg "Stale NFS Handle") is printed if stat fails.
361 New check_disk option -L: Only check local filesystems, but call stat() on remote ones, too.
362 Thus accessibility of remote filesystems can be checked without any threshold comparison.
363 Check_disk's --help now prints some examples for the new features introduced in 1.4.8
364 New check_disk -i/-I option to ignore pathes/partitions based on regular expressions
365 New check_disk -A option to select all filesystems explicitly
366 WARNING: check_disk's -E option must now be passed before -p or -r/-R arguments
367 Passing -E after -p or -r results in UNKNOWN state, now
368 This is needed due to the new ignore feature
369 Fix check_disk bug when mixing case sensitive and case insensitive regex arguments
370 New check_dhcp -u/--unicast option for emulating a DHCP relay in order
371 to check DHCP servers on remote networks

375 Fix possible check_icmp bus errors on some (non-x86/AMD64) platforms
376 Fix check_smtp's handling of multiple-packet server responses
377 WARNING: Fix for negate which may break existing commands:
378 - stop evaluating command line options through shell twice
379 - enforce a full path for the command to run
380 The "negate" utility can now remap custom states
381 Check_radius now supports radiusclient-ng
382 The (undocumented) positional parameter parsing which check_radius used
383 instead of getopt(3) if 8 arguments were given is no longer available
384 Check_by_ssh now supports multiline output
385 IPv6 support can now be disabled using ./configure --without-ipv6
386 Fix check_ntp now honor ntp flags
388 1.4.9 4th June 2007
389 Inclusion of contrib/check_cluster2 as check_cluster with some improvements
390 New/improved -E/--skip-stderr and -S/--skip-stdout options for check_by_ssh
391 check_snmp now supports Counter64
