1 This file documents the revision history for the Open Monitoring Distribution
5 - Added backup/restore modes to backup and restore sites completely
6 You can backup your sites and restore them with the same or a
10 omd backup mysite /tmp/backup.tgz
13 omd restore restored /tmp/backup.tgz
15 You need to ensure you have the OMD version installed during
16 restore, which the site was using during backup.
18 You can also backup to stdout and restore from stdin which means
19 you can stream a backup cross the network. This might not only
20 be useful for backups, but also for migrations across servers.
22 - Update to current nightly build
23 - Removed deprecated directory var/nagvis/userfiles. This was
24 deprecated since version 0.52. During the update to 1.30, the
25 directory and all its contents will be removed. This should be
26 no problem for most users, because the directory is not used
27 anymore since a long time.
28 If you update from OMD 0.52 or below, you need to manually backup
29 files from var/nagvis/userfiles and copy them to
30 local/share/nagvis/htdocs/userfiles after the update to make them
32 Note: If you decide to downgrade from this or a following
33 version to version 0.52 or older, you will again need to care
34 about these files manually.
35 - Added build support for SLES 12

40 - apache: Changed order of apache daemon startup/stopping
41 The webserver is now started after the monitoring core, but more
42 important, it is now stopped after the core. This should reduce
43 the time needed to bring down all worker processes, since there
44 are no hanging livestatus connections started by web clients anymore.

62 exit codes of 3 when diskspace cleanup has not been configured

215 var/nagvis/userfiles from your site
216 Note #2: During "omd update" omd might tell you that the file etc/nagvis/auth.db
