1 This file documents the revision history for the Open Monitoring Distribution
3 1.30 (next, not yet released)
5 - Added "Basic / ADMIN_MAIL" hook to configure the target mail
6 address for eMails sent to the site user (e.g. created by
7 crontab). Finally this generates the ~/.forward file within
8 the sites directory. When a mail address is configured, the
9 file is written, when you have none configured, the file is
11 If you already have a ~/.forward file, the mail address will
12 automatically be used as ADMIN_MAIL value.
13 - Added backup/restore modes to backup and restore sites completely
14 You can backup your sites and restore them with the same or a
18 omd backup mysite /tmp/backup.tgz
21 omd restore restored /tmp/backup.tgz
23 You need to ensure you have the OMD version installed during
24 restore, which the site was using during backup.
26 You can also backup to stdout and restore from stdin which means
27 you can stream a backup cross the network. This might not only
28 be useful for backups, but also for migrations across servers.
29 - FIX: Update mechanism detects obsolete but non empty directories
30 correctly and asks the user whether or not to delete them
31 - FIX: SLES omd init-Script does not use default runlevel 4 anymore
32 - FIX: Added PYTHONPATH to site crontab for being able to access
33 the sites python modules as when run in interactive mdoe
35 - Update to version 1.8.3
36 - Removed deprecated directory var/nagvis/userfiles. This was
37 deprecated since version 0.52. During the update to 1.30, the
38 directory and all its contents will be removed. This should be
39 no problem for most users, because the directory is not used
40 anymore since a long time.
41 If you update from OMD 0.52 or below, you need to manually backup
42 files from var/nagvis/userfiles and copy them to
43 local/share/nagvis/htdocs/userfiles after the update to make them
45 Note: If you decide to downgrade from this or a following
46 version to version 0.52 or older, you will again need to care
47 about these files manually.
48 - FIX: The nagvis URLs were not correctly linking to e.g. Check_MK
49 when a site has been created with Check_MK as default GUI

71 The webserver is now started after the monitoring core, but more
72 important, it is now stopped after the core. This should reduce

74 are no hanging livestatus connections started by web clients anymore.
