Nagios Plugins 1.4.10 released!

Posted by tonvoon on 29 September 2007 - 9:16pm in

The Nagios Plugin Development Team is pleased to announce the latest release of the Nagios Plugins. 
 
Matthias Eble, Thomas Guyot-Sionnest and Holger Weiss have been working their socks off with loads of bug fixes and feature enhancements in this release. 
 

The major changes in this release include: 

  • Fix check_http buffer overflow vulnerability when following HTTP redirects 
  • check_http now explicitly asks HTTP/1.1 servers to close the connection after completion of the response 
  • check_ldaps' guessing which secure method to use (starttls vs. ssl on connect) is now deprecated. See --help for further information 
  • check_disk now calls stat() on all filesystems to check. (Old: only the ones selected using -p) 
  • A meaningful error message (eg "Stale NFS Handle") is printed if stat fails. 
  • New check_disk option -L: Only check local filesystems, but call stat() on remote ones, too. 
  • Thus accessibility of remote filesystems can be checked without any threshold comparison. 
  • check_disk --help now prints some examples for the new features introduced in 1.4.8 
  • New check_disk -i/-I option to ignore pathes/partitions based on regular expressions 
  • New check_disk -A option to select all filesystems explicitly 
  • WARNING: check_disk's -E option must now be passed before -p or -r/-R arguments. Passing -E after -p or -r results in UNKNOWN state, now. This is needed due to the new ignore feature 
  • Fix check_disk bug when mixing case sensitive and case insensitive regex arguments 
  • New check_dhcp -u/--unicast option for emulating a DHCP relay in order to check DHCP servers on remote networks 
  • New check_dhcp -m/--mac option which allows for specifying the MAC address to use in the DHCP request 
  • The check_dhcp -r and -s options now accept host names, too 
  • Fix possible check_icmp bus errors on some (non-x86/AMD64) platforms 
  • Fix check_smtp's handling of multiple-packet server responses 
  • WARNING: Fix for negate which may break existing commands: 
    • stop evaluating command line options through shell twice
    • enforce a full path for the command to run
  • The "negate" utility can now remap custom states 
  • check_radius now supports radiusclient-ng 
  • The (undocumented) positional parameter parsing which check_radius used instead of getopt(3) if 8 arguments were given is no longer available 
  • check_by_ssh now supports multiline output 
  • IPv6 support can now be disabled using ./configure --without-ipv6 
  • Fix check_ntp now honor ntp flags
