  • New install and upgrade script
    Simply run ./install.pl -h after unpacking NMIS to see its options.
  • New Device Support
    New and improved support for GE, Zyxel and Alcatel devices, and improved support for displaying resource utilisation (cpu and memory).
  • Outage Scheduler tool
    The new tool bin/schedule_outage.pl allows one to schedule future outages for groups or individual nodes.
    schedule_outage.pl sets up one-off outages only and can be run from cron to create recurring outage windows.
  • Node View with configurable fields
    The new configuration option network_viewNode_field_list controls which fields  are shown in the Node View and in what order.
    The default setting  includes a standard set of properties, but custom fields are fully supported.
  • Compression of rotated logs
    The configuration for log rotation was updated and streamlined,  and NMIS logs are now compressed after a week.
    install/logrotate.conf should be copied to conf in order to activate this, as well as to fix a path issue with this configuration file.
  • New Global Model Overrides
    The configuration option global_collect_ifDescr was added to override the models' interface collection rules, and ifDescr was added  as a per-model collection option.
    Both of these options support regular expressions.
  • More Event Details
    The new configuration option global_events_bandwidth controls whether event details should include an interface's bandwidth.

 Fixes

  • Improved loading of device information for the NMIS dashboard, improving load times for large deployments
  • Escalation policies now work with Event_Element fields that contain "/" characters.
  • Various layout fixes for group overview and status pages, and improvements for system health display.
  • The snmp maximum message size is now fully adjustable, both on a global basis as well as a per-node setting (on the Edit Node page).
  • Node configuration and model editing work both as widgets and as standalone pages now.
  • Unprivileged users are no longer shown menus that they are not allowed to access.
  • The script subsystem for collecting service data now works as documented.
  • The display type "textbox" for custom tables now works as documented.
