NMIS 8.5.4G
Monday 24 November 2014
Highlights for the 8.5.4G General Release
8.5.4 is a major new release with numerous new features.
- the NMIS installer now reports missing modules better, and aborts (by default) if there are any crucial missing modules
- NMIS now handles critical sections and long-running NMIS processes much better.
- PID files are no longer used, and instead the actual process table is checked.
- New config option
max_child_runtime
can be used to limit collect/update job runtime. - If NMIS jobs runs over-time, a warning event is generated unless config option
disable_nmis_process_events
is set to false. - Collect jobs can now optionally run longer than a single collect cycle, if the command line option
ignore_running=true
is given - in which case NMIS will just warn about old NMIS processes that are still running, not kill them as it does by default. - The NMIS Collect Runtime graph now includes average and maximum numbers of NMIS processes.
- NMIS now consistently supports "true/1/yes" and "false/0/no" for setting boolean configuration values.
- improved new versions of the support tool and the nmis_file_cleanup.sh data pruning tools
- improved logging, reduced false positives in the logs
- improved device support for Net-SNMP-based hosts and Windows hosts, Cisco devices
- new and improved device support for Huawei routers, including Quality of Service collection and graphing
- improved rrd_tune_interfaces.pl helper script now sets interface speed maxima, and correctly adjusts them on repeat execution
- improved fpingd.pl with more precise logging. fpingd now can also optionally log stateless node information (see otion fastping_stateless_log) for external consumption
- event escalation is now handled more robustly and consistently
- improved activation of opMaps and opFlow display widgets
- improved file permission handling for improved performance
