This is a brief overview of the major changes between opEvents releases.
opEvents 2.0.3
This maintenance release is scheduled for 8 Dec 2015.
- A new page for showing both Current and Recent Events was introduced.
"Current" events are defined as unacknowledged events within a configurable priority range; this is set withopevents_gui_current_events_priorities
(default is 3-10).
This Current Events page refreshes automatically. Current events are shown with their escalation status (and sorted by priority), whereas recent events are listed in the order of their creation. - The default number of events to show in various tables is now configurable:
opevents_gui_dashboard_pagination
controls the two dashboard pagesopevents_gui_events_pagination
is for the Event List page,- and
opevents_gui_console_pagination
has two values that control the Current and Recent Event panels, respectively.
- The End Time selector was moved from the menu bar into the Advanced Search Menu.
- The Event List page now automatically refreshes.
- Selecting a different time period no longer disables auto-refreshing, and the default period for the GUI can now be configured with the config setting
opevents_gui_default_period
.
The event context period can be configured independently withopevents_gui_event_context_period
. - The Event Context page now shows the escalation status for the event in question.
- The dashboard pages now show the events sorted by time, newest first.
- The logic for automatically acknowledging events was improved.
A stateful up event now auto-acknowledges the corresponding down event and itself; in the past only the down event was acknowledged. This feature can be disabled by changing the config settingopevents_auto_acknowledge
. - A new action calledÂ
acknowledge
() is available for your Event Action Policy. - Some code inefficiencies were removed, the event colors for priorities 9 and 10 were reworked for better contrast.
- This version of opEvents will work with MongoDB 2.4 but with reduced robustness,
and only if you set the new configuration variabledb_use_v26_features
to 0.
The installer now checks your local MongoDB's version and warns about this issue.
opEvents 2.0.2
This maintenance version of opEvents was released on 30 Nov 2015.
