Hello google bot! (and some happy weeks even the yahoo bot). I have just released the final (I hope) release candidate for the 0.3.8 version. It has a lot of new features and, I am especially, proud of the new event log filters. For those who has not seen the eventlog filter I recommend reading up on the quick guide i wrote on the [wiki:CheckEventLog/CheckEventLog] page. It has a fairly good getting started guide I hope. But a quick note is that the new default filter is:
generated > -2d AND severity NOT IN ('success', 'informational')
Which I belive is a lot more readable the before. Other news are many minor changes and fixes in the file7disk related checks as well as index in CheckCounter to allow handling multiple languages and locales. The changelog grouped by module can be found here:
New commands - CheckSingleFile - to check spects of a single file use like so: CheckSingleFile file=d:nrpe_512.pem warn=>100 check=line-count warn=>100 crit=>170 check=size - CheckSingleRegEntry CheckSingleRegEntry path=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetserviceseventlogApplicationMaxSize "syntax=%path%: %int%" warn==20971520 crit==20971520 check=int ShowAll=long Scripts - Cleaned up scripts folder - Added new "NagiosPlugin library" from op5 - Added check_no_rdp.vbs (Checks that no RDP connection is online) - Added check_battery.vbs which checks batterys via WMI - Added check_printer.vbs to check printers via WMI CheckExternalScript - Added new "script templating" thing to simplify adding scripts: [Wrapped Scripts] test=check_test.ps1 ; (will use correct template for running ps1 commands) - Fixed erroneous error message "Failed to peek buffer" NSCA - Added obfuscated_password to NSCA section - Added so "global" ([Settings] password=...) passwords are read from the NSCA module CheckEventLog - Brand new filter syntax based on SQL where clauses Avalible operators are: =, !=, >, =, critical|'found files'=1;1;1; - Added checks for missing path and missing filter on CheckFile2 thus - Fixed so files locked for reading can be chcked (basic checks) - Improved speed of file chyecking (does not check file data twice) - Changed so missing files and such generate an error - Fixed major issue with date mathing in CheckFile* which was not working at all. - Exe file version checks: CheckFile2 path=D:tmp pattern=*.exe filter+version=!=6.0.2900.5512 "syntax=%filename%: %version%" MaxWarn=1 - Line count check: CheckFile2 path=D:tmp pattern=*.txt filter+line-count=ne:3 "syntax=%filename%: %line-count%" MaxWarn=1 - Added ignore-errors to "ignore" any filesystem related errors (NOTICE this is probably not what you want) - Added master-syntax to CheckFile2 to change the overall message like so: %list%, %files%, %matches% CheckFile2 MinWarn=10 MinCrit=10 path=D:WINDOWSsystem32 filter+size=gt:0 truncate=10 ignore-errors "master-syntax=%matches%/%files%" - Added %user% to syntax to print user who generated message CheckEventLog file=application file=system filter=new filter=out MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 filter-generated=>2w filter-severity==success filter-severity==informational truncate=1023 unique descriptions "syntax=%user% (%count%)" CRITICAL: (1), (2), NT INSTANSSYSTEM (3), NT INSTANSSYSTEM (3), NT INSTANSSYSTEM (3), missing (3), missing (5), (4), missing (2), missing (2), missing (2), missing (2), (1), eventlog: 33 > critical|'eventlog'=33;1;1; Generic: - Added != to all string comparisons - Changes yntax of perfoamcen counters: Alias is '%' and it also has the "full" non % data as ' ' CheckDriveSize CheckAll MaxWarnUsed=80% MaxCritUsed=90% CRITICAL:CRITICAL: C:: Total: 146G - Used: 140G (95%) - Free: 6.31G (5%) > critical, D:: Total: 152G - Used: 148G (97%) - Free: 3.59G (3%) > critical|'C: %'=95%;80;90; 'C:'=140.17G;117.18;131.83;0;146.48; 'D: %'=97%;80;90; 'D:'=147.93G;121.21;136.3;0;151.52; - Added warning message ewhen numerical filters evaluate to zero (and are not 0) - added a new "option" in conjunction with -c you can now do -m to specify the module to load. nsclient++ -m CheckDisk.dll -c CheckDriveSize MaxWarn=100 CheckAll
