 %changelog

-* Tue Jun 07 2011 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.6.8-1

-- update to version 3.6.8

- - Added workaround for a rare condition in which blade detection fails because the chassis IDs for the blade

-   and interconnect board have switched places in the BaseBoardType SNMP table.

-

-- changes in version 3.6.7

- - A regression wrt. non-certified drives were fixed.

-   The plugin failed to identify non-certified physical drives via SNMP.

- - Added the ability to blacklist non-certified drives with the 'pdisk_cert' blacklisting keyword.

-

-- changes in version 3.6.6

- - Fixed typo in help output

- - SD card check is now included if the parameter '--only chassis' is specified

- - The plugin will issue a proper warning if a physical drive is uncertified,

-   instead of an unspecified warning. One or more uncertified drives will make

-   the controller go into a non-critical (warning) state.

- - Slightly improved reporting of fan status

- - Exit with value 3 (unknown) if printing debug, help or version info.

-   This is considered best practice for Nagios plugins.

- - Workaround added for logical SAS connectors to external storage enclosures,

-   when using check_openmanage in local mode with OMSA 6.4.0 or later versions.

-   The output from omreport could contain lines that the plugin was unable to parse,

-   which would lead to internal errors.

-

-* Wed Feb 09 2011 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.6.5-1

-- update to version 3.6.5

- - Fix counting of components when blacklisting is used. Components should be counted even if blacklisted

- - Added some unsupported vdisk types to the list. The OMSA MIB identifies these, but lists them as unsupported

- - Added option '-B' or '--show-blacklist' to show any blacklistings in the OK output

- - Fixed a bug for checking voltage probes, if the reading is missing via SNMP

- - Fixed a regression bug for a power monitoring corner case

-

-* Mon Dec 13 2010 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.6.3-1

-- update to version 3.6.3

- - A few compatibility fixes for OMSA 6.4.0 were added

-

-* Thu Nov 25 2010 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.6.2-1

-- update to version 3.6.2

- - Added support for IPv6 when checking via SNMP. IPv6 can be turned on with the option -6 or --ipv6.

-   The default is IPv4 if the option is not present.

- - Added support for TCP when checking vis SNMP. The option --tcp can be used to turn on TCP.

-   The default transport protocol is UDP if the option is not present.

- - The mode of operation (local or SNMP) is shown in the debug output. If SNMP is used,

-   the debug output will also show the SNMP protocol version, IP version and transport protocol (UDP or TCP).

- - Amperage probe status via SNMP is of type "probe status", not regular status. This has been fixed.

- - Massive overall robustness improvements to handle OMSA bugs where some information from OMSA is missing.

- - Memory module enumeration via SNMP changed somewhat to reflect enumeration provided by omreport.

-   This ensures that the plugin's output is identical in SNMP or local mode wrt. dimms IDs.

- - Fan enumeration via SNMP changed somewhat to reflect enumeration provided by omreport.

-   This ensures that the plugin's output is identical in SNMP or local mode wrt. fan IDs.

-

-* Tue Nov 02 2010 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.6.1-1

-- update to version 3.6.1

- - Minor feature enhancements, Minor bugfixes

- - Included new check for SD cards. Newer servers such as the R710 can have SD cards installed, these should be monitored.

-   The SD card check is on by default. A new blacklisting keyword "sd" has been added. The SD card check can be turned off with "--check sdcard=0".

- - Handle special cases where power monitoring capability is disabled due to non-redundant and/or non-instrumented power supplies.

- - For physical disks probed via SNMP, check that values for vendor, product ID and capacity is available before attempting to display those values.

- - If a physical disk is in sufficiently bad condition, the vendor field reported by OMSA may be empty.

-   The plugin now handles this situation without throwing an internal error.

-

-* Tue Aug 31 2010 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.6.0-1

-- update to version 3.6.0

- - Major feature enhancements, Minor bugfixes

- - Storage is no longer allowed to be absent. If the plugin doesn't find a storage controller, it will give an alert.

-   For diskless systems or servers without a Dell controller that OMSA recognizes you will now have to specify "--no-storage" or "--check storage=0" to work around this.

- - Added an option "--no-storage", which is equivalent to the general option "--check storage=0".

- - Report the system revision (if applicable) wherever the model name is printed. E.g. "PowerEdge 2950 III" instead of "PowerEdge 2950".

- - Small change in search path for omreport: The new location for OMSA 6.2.0 and later on Linux will be attempted first.

- - Small bugfix for the "--check" parameter, if the argument is a filename. The file could not contain a linebreak, this has been fixed.

-

-* Sat Jul 17 2010 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.5.10-1

-- update to version 3.5.10

- - Minor feature enhancements, Minor bugfixes

- - If a physical disk is a hot spare, display this information in the debug output

- - Report the bus protocol (e.g. SAS, SATA) and media type (e.g. HDD, SDD) for physical disks in the debug output, if applicable

- - Minor fix for 100GB physical disks, write "100GB" instead of "99GB"

- - SNMP: Use new features of OMSA 6.3.0 to display occupied and total slots in storage enclosures,

-   if applicable. This information is not available with omreport and check_openmanage will not display this info in local mode.

- - SNMP: Added new processor IDs from the OMSA 6.3.0 MIBs

- - SNMP: Use connection tables in a proper way to determine controller and enclosure IDs,

-   for use with physical disks and enclosure components (fan, temp sensors etc.).

-   This fixes a long standing bug for servers with more than one controller, if checked via SNMP.

- - SNMP: Use the nexus ID as last resort to find the controller for physical disks. Workaround for older, broken OMSA versions.

- - SNMP: Identify enclosures (e.g. '2:0:0') properly so that the reporting with SNMP corresponds to the same report with omreport.

- - SNMP: added a couple of workarounds for pre-historic OMSA versions

-

-* Wed Jun 30 2010 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.5.9-1

-- update to version 3.5.9

- - Minor feature enhancements, Minor bugfixes

- - More fine-grained reporting of temperature warnings for enclosure temperature probes.

- - Max/min temperature limits for enclosure temp probes are reported in the debug output

- - Report enclosure temperature probes that are "Inactive" as ok

- - Don't try to print out the reading of enclosure temperature probes if the reading doesn't exist or is not an integer

- - Report enclosure EMMs that are "Not Installed" as ok, instead of critical

- - Corrected typo in the PNP4Nagios template

-

-- changes in 3.5.8

- - Minor feature enhancements

- - Remove reporting of which controller a logical drive is "attached" to, since this information can't be reliably extracted via SNMP.

- - avoid collecting Lun ID via SNMP for virtual disks, we don't use it

- - report total memory and number of dimms in the ok output

- - difference in reporting if amperage probes have discrete readings

- - workaround for broken amperage probes

- - added workaround for bad temperature probes that yields no reading in SNMP mode

- - get OMSA version via SNMP slightly more efficiently

-

-* Sat Mar 20 2010 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.5.7-1

-- update to version 3.5.7

- - Minor feature enhancements, Minor bugfixes

- - Added robustness for received SNMP values that are not defined in the MIB.

-   Instead of throwing a perl warning when this happens, the plugin will not report the undefined value.

- - Defined "Replacing" as a defined state for physical disks in SNMP mode,

-   even though this state is not defined in the MIB. It is reported as such by omreport.

- - Physical disk brand/model is now reported when the state of the disk is "Rebuilding" or "Replacing".

- - The state of a physical disk is reported in parentheses when predictive failure is detected.

-   It is useful to know if a disk is online, offline, spare or even failed when predictive failure is reported.

- - Handling of physical disk predictive failure has been improved overall.

- - Refactoring of the perfdata code. In conformance with the plugin development guidelines,

-   the UOM (unit of measure) previously reported in the perfdata output has been removed.

- - The -p or --perfdata option now takes an optional agrument "minimal",

-   which triggers shorter names for the perfomance data labels.

-   This shortens the output and is a workaround for systems where the amount of output exceeds the 1024 char limit of NRPE.

- - The PNP4Nagios template has been updated.

-   Users of check_openmanage and PNP4Nagios are advised to upgrade.

-   This version of check_openmanage needs the new template.

- - Lots of other small improvements and updates.

-

-* Tue Feb 23 2010 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.5.6-1

-- update to version 3.5.6

- - New option --use-get_table  is added as a workaround for SNMPv3 on Windows using net-snmp.

-   This option will make check_openmanage use the Net::SNMP function get_table() instead of get_entries() to collect information via SNMP.

- - Include a blacklisting option ctrl_pdisk which takes the controller number as argument.

-   This blacklisting option only works with omreport and is a workaround for broken disk firmwares that contain illegal XML characters.

-   These characters makes openmanage barf and exit with an error. Thanks to Bas Couwenberg for a patch.

- - If the blacklisting keyword "all" is supplied for a component type, that component type is not checked at all, i.e. the commands are never executed.

-   This will make check_openmanage execute faster if blacklisting is heavily used.

- - Option --htmlinfo now has a shorter equivalent -I

- - The option --short-state now has a shorter equivalent -S

-

-* Sat Jan 23 2010 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.5.5-1

-- update to version 3.5.5

- - Fixed an SNMP bug where the plugin didn't handle OID indexes that were not sequential. Thanks to Gianluca Varenni for reporting.

- - Fixed an SNMP bug when checking old hardware such as the PE 2650 and PE 750. The controller id for physical drives were 

-   collected and displayed incorrectly. This release uses an additional OID to fetch this info, which would otherwise be unavailable.

-   Thanks to Gianluca Varenni for reporting this bug.

- - Should use %snmp_probestatus, not %snmp_status when checking the status of voltage probes. Thanks to Ken McKinlay for a patch.

- - Fix when identifying blades via SNMP with very old OMSA versions. Patch from Ken McKinlay.

- - Better way of finding the ID of physical drives via SNMP

-

-* Wed Jan 13 2010 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com> - 3.5.4-1

-- update to version 3.5.4

- - Added support for storport driver version for controllers, only applicable on servers running Windows. A new blacklisting keyword for suppressing storport driver messages was added.

- - The "all" keyword in blacklisting is now case insensitive.

- - More fine-grained reporting in the rare case where a controller battery fails during learning and charging states.

- - New improved way of reporting perl warnings during execution of the plugin.
