1 This file documents the revision history for the Open Monitoring Distribution
3 1.40 (not yet released)
5 - Update to version 1.9b3
6 - Icinga: Update to 1.13.3
7 - Thruk: Update to 2.04
11 - Added "Basic / ADMIN_MAIL" hook to configure the target mail
12 address for eMails sent to the site user (e.g. created by
13 crontab). Finally this generates the ~/.forward file within
14 the sites directory. When a mail address is configured, the
15 file is written, when you have none configured, the file is
17 If you already have a ~/.forward file, the mail address will
18 automatically be used as ADMIN_MAIL value.
19 - Added backup/restore modes to backup and restore sites completely
20 You can backup your sites and restore them with the same or a
24 omd backup mysite /tmp/backup.tgz
27 omd restore restored /tmp/backup.tgz
29 You need to ensure you have the OMD version installed during
30 restore, which the site was using during backup.
32 You can also backup to stdout and restore from stdin which means
33 you can stream a backup cross the network. This might not only
34 be useful for backups, but also for migrations across servers.
35 - FIX: Update mechanism detects obsolete but non empty directories
36 correctly and asks the user whether or not to delete them
37 - FIX: SLES omd init-Script does not use default runlevel 4 anymore
38 - FIX: Added PYTHONPATH to site crontab for being able to access
39 the sites python modules as when run in interactive mdoe
41 - Update to version 1.8.5
42 - Removed deprecated directory var/nagvis/userfiles. This was
43 deprecated since version 0.52. During the update to 1.30, the
44 directory and all its contents will be removed. This should be
45 no problem for most users, because the directory is not used
46 anymore since a long time.
47 If you update from OMD 0.52 or below, you need to manually backup
48 files from var/nagvis/userfiles and copy them to
49 local/share/nagvis/htdocs/userfiles after the update to make them
51 Note: If you decide to downgrade from this or a following
52 version to version 0.52 or older, you will again need to care
53 about these files manually.
54 - FIX: The nagvis URLs were not correctly linking to e.g. Check_MK
55 when a site has been created with Check_MK as default GUI
56 - FIX: Fixed site not starting after "omd cp" when using
57 the arguments --no-past, --no-rrds or --no-logs
60 - moved log dir to var/log
61 - Added build support for SLES 12, 11 SP4
62 - Added build support for Ubuntu 14.10, 15.04, 15.10

65 version, not caring about the minor versions anymore

77 - set graceful restart timeout
78 - Default redirects from /[site] and /[site]/ to /[site]/omd/ are
79 are now preserving the original requested protocol (http/https).
80 When using the apache shared mode (which is the default), having
81 the system apache service the pages via HTTPS, you will need to
82 configure the system apache to provide the X-Forwarded-Proto
83 request header to the site apache, which can be done by
84 adding the line 'RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"' to
85 the proxy configuration related to the site.
86 - Apache is now using the default site profile (e.g. PATH)
88 - Updated to Version 2014-09-29d
89 - fix discarding all local settings on update
90 - check_webinject: Update to 1.88
93 - apache: Changed order of apache daemon startup/stopping
94 The webserver is now started after the monitoring core, but more
95 important, it is now stopped after the core. This should reduce
96 the time needed to bring down all worker processes, since there
97 are no hanging livestatus connections started by web clients anymore.

114 - diskspace: Fixed error messages in syslog which were caused by
115 exit codes of 3 when diskspace cleanup has not been configured
