rather big and messy change where i have reworked all the clients

2015-03-02

TODO

2015-02-17

Adde documentation to protobuf file

2014-12-02

Fix typo CRITCAL > CRITICAL I noticed a probelm in CheckNSCP.cpp and CheckHelpers that sometimes CRITCAL was being returned as a status. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but I replaced all occurances. It looks like some of the source files have old DOS file endings (^M) instead of unix-friendly linebreaks. My search replace stripped some of them and I hope that does not cause any damage. Please check it out and let me know if this was the right thing to do.

2014-08-02

* Major refactoring of json handling * now uses exact same messages as protobuf (compiled from protobuf) * Added json-protobuf (library to compile protobuf to json spirit) * Added help-pb to get help as protobuf from commands * Removed help-csv since help-pb is better (and built-in to inventory) * Clenaedup protobuf file and removed some unesseceary fields. * migrated "test" client into a separate moduile (CommandClient) * greatly extended the client interfaces (both web and console) to have new and improved commands

2014-07-19

* Extensive additions to the WEB UI * Console can be used much like nscp tesat * Log view is enhaned * Modules view added

2014-07-10

removed some unnessecary shared dependencies

2014-05-29

Added settings and log view to web ui as well as login and other tweaks. Tweaked some in the settings subsystem to better provide for the WEB ui. Made console log asynch to improve speed a bit.

2013-09-02

Essentially a brand new check subsystem as well as internal refactoring

2013-05-29

documentation updates as well as backend support for generating documentation

2013-05-20

Yet another massive update with mainly internal stuff The most interesting thing is I guess the new documentation toolkit which is now "working" (not much content yet, but it will come)

2013-04-07

Fixed issue with commands escaping Changed a lot of the utf16 into utf8 as well as major API refactoring

2013-02-03

Massive refactoring effort. All(most) commands now support help for interactive help as well as built-in documentation for all(most) commands and configuration.

2012-11-11

* Created json module information blocks

2012-08-09

* Initial merge of 0.4.1 into 0.4.2

2012-08-08

Merge branch '0.4.1' into 0.4.2 Conflicts: CMakeLists.txt changelog helpers/settings_manager/settings_handler_impl.hpp include/nscapi/nscapi_plugin_impl.cpp include/nscapi/nscapi_plugin_impl.hpp include/settings/impl/settings_http.hpp include/settings/impl/settings_old.hpp libs/protobuf/plugin.proto modules/CheckExternalScripts/CheckExternalScripts.cpp modules/CheckSystem/CMakeLists.txt modules/CheckSystem/CheckSystem.cpp modules/CheckSystem/CheckSystem.h modules/CheckSystem/PDHCollector.cpp modules/LUAScript/LUAScript.cpp modules/LUAScript/script_wrapper.hpp service/cli_parser.hpp version.txt

2012-07-12

* LUAScript: Improved lua scripting module a lot * LUAScript: Added protocol buffer support to lua scripts * tests: Rewrote (halfway there) test_nrpe python script as a lua script. * CheckEventLog: Fixed command name when submitting real-time "no action checks"

2012-07-08

* Improved settings API with new protocolbuffers command (available from python) * Improved registration API with new protocolbuffers command (available from python) * Created new python documentation module docs.py * Improved command line syntax so executable commands now take an optional module prefix

2012-04-02

* Fixed issue with default port for NSCA/NRPE/* clients * Removed FileLogger * Rewritten log implementation from ground up without using crappy boost library which requires DNS :( * Removed some annoying "error" messages * Tweaked FileLogger a bit to be more "modern" * Changed so file-name expansion is more efficient * Changed so modules are defaulted to 0 in config. * Log levels are case sensitive * Fixed so log level is not read from ini file * improved plugin processing from ini files

2012-02-21

* Added new module CauseCrash which has a single command CrashClient to allow the service to be crashed remotly *WARNING* Dont use this command, it is for debugging and testing purpouses only * Fixed issue with BreakPad which was disabled * Fixed some unix issues (sorry but hudson's stopped emailing me again:( ) * Fixed service --install (now sets correct options) * Fixed service --install (now sets description correctly) * Fixed log level defined in protobuf (now same as rest of the system) * Fixed some issues with the check_nscp command

2011-09-27

* Fixed many many issues all over the place as I tried to make things working for my pressention at nwc.

2011-09-24

* Started on NSCA unit-tests in python * Refactored channel API a bit to better suite NSCA (and how it actually works) * Changed how headers are created (nothice this might have broken NSCP stuff, havent checked) * Created helper lib for Python Unittests * Renamed NSCAAgent to NSCAClient (to be consistant) * Created a NSCAServer module (again for consistancy) This will be the defenition of the new "channels" so keep a lookout in the next few weeks

2011-09-18

Another massive commit with a single comment, but essentially this is the first version with a proper distributed message queue this will be the foundation of some pretty cool stuff in the next few weeks/months... * Implemented first version of DistributedClient and DistributedSServer which work so now we have a proper message based transport. Still a lot of rough edges such as cookie and authentication support is hard coded. We also need a proper two way distributed server as well as implement "all" payload types.

2011-09-11

* Massive overhaul here and there * Added new helper for handling "targets" (so they are the same) * Extracted "command line handling" so all clients will work the same * Extracted command processor to a common class to make all clients work the same * Added initial zeromq stuff (nothing usable) * Added an implementation layer for NSCP protocol parsing (so zeromq stuff can reuse it)

2011-09-01

* Added support for loading same plugin twice (in different sessions) * Added preliminary support for routing passive checks

2011-08-24

* Sever refactoring of the new API (there is now two pb files ipc for NSCP protocol and plugin for plugin communication) * Cleaned up API helper functions

2011-08-22

Initial version of the NSCP protocol (very crude) also might not build on *nix as I haven't verified that yet... Will improve this this week and hopefully have something better in a bit... But this works so thought Id commit it anyways if I break something :)

2011-08-14

2011-08-14 MickeM * Rename Function to Registry in PythonScript API as well as some other function renames * Started to clean up the helpers around the API * Added support for execute to PythonScripts to execute commands * BUG: just realised that static plugin instances prevent multiple instances :) Will fix but not now as it is not important (for me)... * Added initial support for channels to PythonScript Core still lacks support for subscribing to arbitrary channel

2011-08-13

2011-08-13 MickeM * Added support for command line execution to PythonScript module * Readded support for specifying module on command line with --client mode * Fixed some issues with the NRPEClient module 2011-08-12 MickeM * Finnished (rough) adding back command line exec (with modern API) * Fixed so installer uses correct name for dll:s (now Server not Listsener)

2011-04-03

0.4.x: * tweaks to the build environment to make the installer work * fixed Unicode issue * fixed performance data * improved so alias doesn't re-process the data so much

2011-01-08

2010-08-01

Added in performance e data for NRPE and NSCA as well as added in debug build for the protocol buffer library lookup thingy

2010-02-11

Preliminary NSCA support (much is hard coded right now so only a PoC not a finished concept)

2010-01-31

Added protocol buffers for internal channels (only command as of now) this means this builds lacks "performance data" (as it has yet to be re-added) as well as requires changes to plugins as the API is NEW!
