79 ENHANCEMENTS
80 check_mailq now supports auto detection of qmail, postfix, exim and nullmailer with
81 fallback to sendmail
82 check_ide_smart now defaults to plugin output, original output appended with -v
83 Extra-Opts are now enabled by default, see:
84 https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/extra-opts.html
85 check_swap now supports a configurable state when there is no swap
86 check_radius now supports the FreeRADIUS Client library

88 New check_mysql_query -g option to specify a client options group
89 Add performance data to check_mysql_query
90 New check_file_age -i/--ignore-missing option to return OK on nonexistent files
91 Make check_ping, check_users, and check_disk work on Windows

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

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

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

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

332 Fixed check_http regression in 1.4.10 where following redirects to

334 Merged two new checks that deprecates check_ntp: check_ntp_peer and check_ntp_time.
335 You should read the --help output so see which one is suitable for you. check_ntp_peer
336 implement stratum thresholds support (feature request #1703823).
337 check_ntp now returns UNKNOWN instead of WARNING if jitter is unavailable (jitter=-1.000000)
338 as long as the thresholds range include -1. If no offset threshold is specified
339 and the offset is unavailable, will return UNKNOWN as well.
340 NOTE: If jitter thresholds are specified as integers it will return CRITICAL if jitter
341 is "-1" as the default range starts at 0. See Examples in --help output.

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

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