87 check_swap now supports a configurable state when there is no swap
88 check_radius now supports the FreeRADIUS Client library

91 Add performance data to check_mysql_query
92 New check_file_age -i/--ignore-missing option to return OK on nonexistent files
93 Make check_ping, check_users, and check_disk work on Windows

99 Don't have check_http's -N option expect an argument
100 check_ide_smart could disable offline auto tests but could not re-enable them.
101 For this reason all SMART command modes have been disabled.
102 check_dig: fix wrong IPv6 arguments order (Stéphane Bortzmeyer)
103 check_dig: make sure not to give up too early when a timeout is specified with -t
104 check_log: don't stumble over log lines that include a "%" character
105 check_nt: add UPTIME to perfdata
106 Handle SNMPv3 noAuthNoPriv properly with check_snmp
107 Fix compilation with GnuTLS
109 WARNINGS
110 New default installation prefix: /usr/local instead of /usr/local/nagios
111 check_snmp now evaluates negative values properly, which means it might return CRITICAL
112 in cases where it used to return OK. If this is undesired, the warning/critical
113 threshold(s) must be fixed by specifying e.g. ~:100 instead of 100
114 check_procs now ignores its parent process to avoid unexpected results when invoked via
115 certain shells
116 utils.sh no longer defines ECH
117 check_ide_smart -q/--quiet and -n/--nagios (Nagios-compatible output) are now deprecated
118 but accepted for backward-compatibility
119 check_ide_smart -0/--auto-off, -1/--auto-on and -i/--immediate: options have
120 been disabled because they were broken
121 State retention: the NAGIOS_PLUGIN_STATE_DIRECTORY environment variable has been
122 renamed MP_STATE_PATH. The old variable will continue to work in v2.0.x
123 Add the UID of the invoking user to the state retention file path. This helps solving
124 permission issues when different users run the same plugin
125 check_swap used to allow returning OK on a system without swap when only percent thresholds
126 were used. This is no longer the case and one must now use -n/--no-swap=<state>
127 The Perl and Shell plugins now use the PATH specified via ./configure's --trusted-path
128 option, or "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" by default
130 1.5 2nd October 2013

150 New check_fping -S option to specify the source IP address
151 New check_fping -I option to specify the interface to bind to
152 Let check_fping support IPv6
153 New check_procs -k option to ignore kernel threads (on Linux)
154 Let check_procs use /proc/<PID>/exe (if available) instead of getpid(2), unless -T is specified
155 Let check_mysql support SSL
156 Let check_mysql add perfromance metrics for all checks
157 New check_mysql -f option to specify a client options file
158 New check_mysql -g option to specify a client options group
159 New check_snmp --offset option to allow for adding/substracting an offset value to sensor data

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

245 single quote in the label
246 check_http 1.4.14 introduced SSL SNI support - you now have to enable it explicitly with "--sni"

333 1.4.11 13th December 2007
334 Fixed check_http regression in 1.4.10 where following redirects to
335 relative URLs on virtual hosts failed if both "-H" and "-I" were used
336 Merged two new checks that deprecates check_ntp: check_ntp_peer and check_ntp_time.
337 You should read the --help output so see which one is suitable for you. check_ntp_peer
338 implement stratum thresholds support (feature request #1703823).
339 check_ntp now returns UNKNOWN instead of WARNING if jitter is unavailable (jitter=-1.000000)
340 as long as the thresholds range include -1. If no offset threshold is specified
341 and the offset is unavailable, will return UNKNOWN as well.
342 NOTE: If jitter thresholds are specified as integers it will return CRITICAL if jitter
343 is "-1" as the default range starts at 0. See Examples in --help output.

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

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