5 | # Version 1.5 Released | ||
6 | |||
7 | *Wednesday, October 2, 2013* | ||
8 | |||
9 | The Nagios Plugins Development Team is proud to announce version 1.5 of the | ||
10 | Nagios Plugins! This release comes with the new `check_dbi` plugin written by | ||
11 | Sebastian Harl, and includes lots of enhancements and fixes provided by more | ||
12 | than forty contributors. Many thanks to all of you! | ||
13 | |||
14 | Special kudos go to Sven Nierlein for fixing numerous bugs, reviewing many | ||
15 | pull requests, bringing our test suite back into shape, and setting up | ||
16 | automated tests on a variety of platforms. This helped us spotting lots of | ||
17 | bugs *before* the release. Let me also thank Ton Voon for doing the | ||
18 | unenviable work of updating the bundled Perl modules; and our newest team | ||
19 | member Jan Wagner for all his help with patch review. | ||
20 | |||
21 | See below for a list of major changes. Note that the new `check_http` version | ||
22 | introduces two minor backwards incompatibilities mentioned at the end of that | ||
23 | list, so please be sure to check whether they might affect you. | ||
24 | |||
25 | You can get the tarball from our [download page][download]. | ||
26 | |||

33 | * Add performance data to `check_procs` | ||
34 | * Added `-4`/`-6` options to `check_dig` | ||
35 | * New `check_oracle` `--connect` option to perform real login | ||
36 | * New `check_nagios` `-t` option to override the default timeout | ||
37 | * New `check_disk` `-f`/`--freespace-ignore-reserved` option to ignore space | ||
38 | reserved for root | ||
39 | * New `check_disk` `-N`/`--include-type` option to limit the filesystem types | ||
40 | to check | ||
41 | * Allow for building the plugins in parallel | ||
42 | * Add `--without-{dbi,ldap,radius}` options to `./configure` | ||
43 | * Made Verbose output of `check_sensors` compliant | ||
44 | * New switch `-E`/`--extended-perfdata` for `check_http` to print additional | ||
45 | performance data | ||
46 | * New `check_http` `-d` option to specify a string to expect within the | ||
47 | response headers | ||
48 | * New `check_http` `-J`/`-K` options for client certificate authentication | ||
49 | support | ||
50 | * Add support for executing queries to `check_pgsql` | ||
51 | * Let `check_pgsql` accept a UNIX socket directory as hostname | ||
52 | * New `check_pgsql` `-o` option to specify additional connection parameters | ||
53 | * New `check_fping` `-S` option to specify the source IP address | ||
54 | * New `check_fping` `-I` option to specify the interface to bind to | ||
55 | * Let `check_fping` support IPv6 | ||
56 | * New `check_procs` `-k` option to ignore kernel threads (on Linux) | ||
57 | * Let `check_procs` use `/proc/<PID>/exe` (if available) instead of | ||
58 | `getpid(2)`, unless `-T` is specified | ||
59 | * Let `check_mysql` support SSL | ||
60 | * Let `check_mysql` add perfromance metrics for all checks | ||
61 | * New `check_mysql` `-f` option to specify a client options file | ||
62 | * New `check_mysql` `-g` option to specify a client options group | ||
63 | * New `check_snmp` `--offset` option to allow for adding/substracting an | ||
64 | offset value to sensor data | ||

66 | * Let `check_ide_smart` support NetBSD | ||
67 | |||
68 | ## Fixes | ||
69 | |||
70 | * Change the MAIL FROM command generated by `check_smtp` to be RFC compliant | ||
71 | * Fix compilation of `check_http` without SSL support | ||
72 | * Fix `check_snmp` reversed threshold ranges (backward-compatibility) | ||
73 | * Fix `check_snmp` memory violation when using more than 8 OIDs | ||
74 | * Fix `check_apt` security regular expression | ||
75 | * Fix `check_http` handling extra header (`-k`) containing semicolons | ||

77 | * Fix deprecated imports of `check_nmap.py` | ||
78 | |||
79 | ## Warnings | ||
80 | |||
81 | * `check_http` behaviour of `-k`/`--header` changed since it does not seperate | ||
82 | multiple headers by semicolons anymore. Use multiple `-k` switches instead. | ||
83 | * `check_http`'s `--proxy_authorization` option is now called | ||
84 | `--proxy-authorization` (it was always documented this way) | ||
