99 ENHANCEMENTS
100 check_mailq now supports auto detection of qmail, postfix, exim and nullmailer with
101 fallback to sendmail
102 check_ide_smart now defaults to plugin output, original output appended with -v
103 Extra-Opts are now enabled by default, see:
104 https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/extra-opts.html
105 check_swap now supports a configurable state when there is no swap
106 check_radius now supports the FreeRADIUS Client library
107 New check_mysql_query -f option to specify a client options file
108 New check_mysql_query -g option to specify a client options group
109 Add performance data to check_mysql_query
110 New check_file_age -i/--ignore-missing option to return OK on nonexistent files
111 Make check_ping, check_users, and check_disk work on Windows
112 New check_ssh -P option to specify the expected SSH protocol version
113 check_dns now emits the warning and critical thresholds with the performance data
115 FIXES
116 Don't let e.g. check_http's -C option reset SSL version if e.g. -S 1 -C 5 is specified
117 Don't have check_http's -N option expect an argument
118 check_ide_smart could disable offline auto tests but could not re-enable them.
119 For this reason all SMART command modes have been disabled.
120 check_dig: fix wrong IPv6 arguments order
121 check_dig: make sure not to give up too early when a timeout is specified with -t
122 check_log: don't stumble over log lines that include a "%" character

124 Handle SNMPv3 noAuthNoPriv properly with check_snmp
125 Fix compilation with GnuTLS
127 WARNINGS
128 New default installation prefix: /usr/local instead of /usr/local/nagios
129 check_snmp now evaluates negative values properly, which means it might return CRITICAL
130 in cases where it used to return OK. If this is undesired, the warning/critical
131 threshold(s) must be fixed by specifying e.g. ~:100 instead of 100
132 check_procs now ignores its parent process to avoid unexpected results when invoked via
133 certain shells
134 utils.sh no longer defines ECH
135 check_ide_smart -q/--quiet and -n/--nagios (Nagios-compatible output) are now deprecated
136 but accepted for backward-compatibility
137 check_ide_smart -0/--auto-off, -1/--auto-on and -i/--immediate: options have
138 been disabled because they were broken
139 State retention: the NAGIOS_PLUGIN_STATE_DIRECTORY environment variable has been
140 renamed MP_STATE_PATH. The old variable will continue to work in v2.0.x
141 Add the UID of the invoking user to the state retention file path. This helps solving
142 permission issues when different users run the same plugin
143 check_swap used to allow returning OK on a system without swap when only percent thresholds
144 were used. This is no longer the case and one must now use -n/--no-swap=<state>
145 The Perl and Shell plugins now use the PATH specified via ./configure's --trusted-path
146 option, or "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" by default
148 1.5 2nd October 2013

173 Let check_mysql support SSL
174 Let check_mysql add perfromance metrics for all checks
175 New check_mysql -f option to specify a client options file
176 New check_mysql -g option to specify a client options group
177 New check_snmp --offset option to allow for adding/substracting an offset value to sensor data
178 Let check_snmp support an arbitrary number of OIDs
179 Let check_ide_smart support NetBSD

188 Fix check_apt handling unknown exit codes from apt-get
189 Fix deprecated imports of check_nmap.py
191 WARNINGS
192 check_http behaviour of -k/--header changed since it does not seperate multiple headers by semicolons anymore. Use multiple -k switches instead.
193 check_http's --proxy_authorization option is now called --proxy-authorization (it was always documented this way)
194 The contrib directory has been removed from this distribution

339 check_dig can now pass arguments to dig by using -A/--dig-arguments (#1874041/#1889453)
340 check_ntp and check_ntp_peer now show proper jitter/stratum thresholds longopts in --help

352 Fixed check_http regression in 1.4.10 where following redirects to
353 relative URLs on virtual hosts failed if both "-H" and "-I" were used
354 Merged two new checks that deprecates check_ntp: check_ntp_peer and check_ntp_time.
355 You should read the --help output so see which one is suitable for you. check_ntp_peer
356 implement stratum thresholds support (feature request #1703823).
357 check_ntp now returns UNKNOWN instead of WARNING if jitter is unavailable (jitter=-1.000000)
358 as long as the thresholds range include -1. If no offset threshold is specified
359 and the offset is unavailable, will return UNKNOWN as well.
360 NOTE: If jitter thresholds are specified as integers it will return CRITICAL if jitter
361 is "-1" as the default range starts at 0. See Examples in --help output.

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

394 Fix possible check_icmp bus errors on some (non-x86/AMD64) platforms
395 Fix check_smtp's handling of multiple-packet server responses
396 WARNING: Fix for negate which may break existing commands:
397 - stop evaluating command line options through shell twice
398 - enforce a full path for the command to run
399 The "negate" utility can now remap custom states
400 Check_radius now supports radiusclient-ng
401 The (undocumented) positional parameter parsing which check_radius used
402 instead of getopt(3) if 8 arguments were given is no longer available
403 Check_by_ssh now supports multiline output
404 IPv6 support can now be disabled using ./configure --without-ipv6
405 Fix check_ntp now honor ntp flags
407 1.4.9 4th June 2007
408 Inclusion of contrib/check_cluster2 as check_cluster with some improvements
409 New/improved -E/--skip-stderr and -S/--skip-stdout options for check_by_ssh
