2024052901

Breaking Changes

Icinga Director:

  • all-the-rest.json: Remove all predefined "Journald Query" definitions, as they were not as useful in practice as we thought. Single services are more useful.
  • Lowered the criticality of many service templates and service set services to make the monitoring less noisy by default. Make sure to double check and increase the criticality for important services.

Monitoring Plugins:

  • disk-io: Nearly rewritten from scratch, old parameters have been replaced by new, better ones. Perfdata "throughput" has been renamed to "bandwidth". Filter disks which are really mounted, translate dm-* device names, wildcard support for ignore disks (#709, #708, #676)
  • file-size: Note that the plugin now requires a size qualifier when specifying parameters, e.g. --warning=10K for 10 KiB (instead of --warning=10000 as in previous versions).
  • journald-query: Pattern-matching is now always case-sensitive (#745)
  • librenms-alerts: Rewritten from scratch to fetch from LibreNMS MySQL/MariaDB database (therefore the check comes with new parameters)
  • librenms-health: Rewritten from scratch to fetch from LibreNMS MySQL/MariaDB database (therefore the check comes with new parameters)
  • php-fpm: Remove parameters --*-max-children because php-fpm max children reached is either 0 or 1
  • snmp: Improve Performance Data Handling (#481) - update your CSV definition files and add two more columns according to the check's README
  • uptime: Use the plugin to warn about recent reboots (#722). Note that the plugin now requires a time qualifier when specifying parameters, e.g. --warning=180D for 180 days (instead of --warning=180 as in previous versions).

Notification Plugins:

  • All notification plugins are now installed in /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/notifications/ by default, because otherwise installing the notification and monitoring plugins package at the same time fails (#726)

Added

Icinga Director:

  • all-the-rest.json: New TuneD Service Set (therefore removed from all "OS - RHEL" service sets)

2022030201

This is a "we migrated everything from GitLab to GitHub, but had to adjust many details afterwards" version. In terms of source code, nothing has changed compared to 2022022801, just a bunch of links in source code comments and READMEs.

Breaking Changes

  • This project has moved from a public repo on our self-hosted GitLab server to a public repo on GitHub to increase visibility and reach a larger community.

  • Due to the removal of binaries (zip and png files), all commit hashes have changed.
  • Removed all checks compiled for Windows from Git and moved them to our download server.

Added

Features:

  • All of the checks are ported to Python 3 (suffixed by 3).
  • Most of the checks are also available on Windows (compiled with Nuitka and suffixed by .zip).
  • At the same time the style of the source code of all plugins has been unified according to the example check plugin.
  • All plugins run flawlessly on Rocky and Alma Linux (simply so that was said).

Monitoring Plugins:

  • Jitsi Videobridge Statistics and Status
  • NodeBB Statistics, Status and Version
  • Redis
  • SAP Open Concur (thanks to Dominik Riva)
  • Starface PBX: Account, Database and Perr Statistics; Overall, Backup and Channel Status; Java Memory Usage
  • Veeam Status

Event Plugins:

  • Cloudflare Security Level

Icinga Director:

  • Four checks have been added to the Windows Basic ServiceSet (disk-io, dns, swap-usage, top3-processes-which-caused-the-most-io)

Changed ("enhancement")

Monitoring Plugins:

  • about-me: Reports much much more inventory info. New sections are Interfaces (IPv4), systemd default target, systemd timers, systemd enabled units, systemd mounts, systemd automounts, non-default users and crontabs.
  • apache-httpd-status: Now calculates the average values ReqPerSec, BytesPerSec, BytesPerReq and DurationPerReq over Apache's uptime.
  • php-*: Report more (don't forget to install the new monitoring.php as well).
  • procs: Counting is more accurate.
  • ping: Mainly used for host alive checking, now reports OK on request (using --always-ok) if a host cannot be reached for some reason only on the ping side, but can otherwise be checked e.g. by the Icinga agent.

Removed

2021061501

Added

Features:

  • 50% of the checks are ported to Python 3 (suffixed by 3), 17 checks of those available on Windows (compiled with Nuitka and suffixed by .zip).

  • The human-readable units of measurement in the output of the checks are more precise, for example:

    • Bytes: "MiB" always means "Mebibyte" = 1024 Kibibytes.
    • Counters: The SI symbol "G" means "Billion" in "US, Canada and modern British", and "Milliard" in "Traditional European (long scale)".
    • Date and Time: "M" means "Month" while "m" means "Minute".
    • See README for further details.

  • We are using more and more Prometheus-compatible Performance Data Names (first checks doing this are fs-xfs-stats and nginx-status).

  • All README's have been revised, standardized and converted into RST format (reStructuredText). They are also available on https://docs.linuxfabrik.ch > Monitoring-Plugins.

  • Icons have been updated (useful for Icingaweb and other).

Monitoring Plugins:

  • Apache mod_qos
  • Docker Info and Statistics
  • Filesystem XFS Statistics
  • HAProxy Status
  • LibreNMS Alerts and Version
  • Logfiles (although we prefer using Graylog)
  • Metabase Statistics
  • mydumper Version
  • Nginx Status
  • OnlyOffice Statistics
  • Path read/write test
  • PHP Status and Version
  • PHP-FPM Status and Availability
  • pip for pending updates

Changed ("enhancement")

Monitoring Plugins:

  • disk-io: Automatically determines the maximum possible disk throughput.
  • file-*: Deal directly with SMB/CIFS shares.
  • ipmi-*: Can now connect remotely to Supermicro's IPMI, HPE iLo and DELL iDRAC.
