• This version includes a helper for setting up MongoDB for Opmantek use, and the installer offers to run the helper on installations and upgrades.
• opEvents now supports per-node licensing and activation: nodes can be marked disabled from within the GUI, in which case the node does not count for license limits and no events are handled for this node. By default all nodes are active.
• The node configuration infrastructure in opEvents is now fully unified and shared with opConfig.
• Renaming nodes in opEvents now also renames all past events for that node.
• opEvents now includes a full-featured command line tool for node administration, bin/opnode_admin.pl . This tool implements all node management functions already present in the GUI, as well as some extras to make it suitable for scriptable node creating and editing.
• The ordering of rules in the event action and parsing engines was fixed (under certain circumstances rules could be tested in the wrong order in older versions).
• The default event action rules were improved to better collect diagnostic info in reaction to node- and network-related events.
• The event action tag.name(value) has been improved to not clash with internal properties.
• The event action email(recip) has been revised for better standards compliance and interoperability with IP version 6.
• opeventsd.pl now handles inadvertent log replays better. It can be told (with config option opevents_max_event_age) whether older event inputs should be processed or skipped. The handling of missing, malformatted or otherwise indigestible log files was made more robust.
• If no opEvents license is present, then oeventsd.pl starts but doesn't consume any incoming files; it also creates a log entry about  the missing license once every 15 minutes.
• opEvents now supports setting a custom PATH environment for running script/program event actions. If you set the config option opevents_standard_path, then opEvents will set that PATH for all external programs that it runs.
• Opmantek applications can now be selectively enabled using the configuration option load_applications.
• The installer for opEvents was updated to improve robustness and reliability, and opEvents now ships with the Opmantek Support Tool.
• The display of errors and exceptions in the GUI has been improved.
• various minor improvements and bug fixes in both the GUI as well as the back end.
• a small warning: the installer may warn about two "incorrect checksum detected" for two files, if you install this version on top of the Opmantek Virtual Appliance version 8.5.6G or after other Opmantek applications that were released since opEvents 1.2.3. These warnings are benign and you can safely confirm that the installer is allowed to 'overwrite' those files.

opEvents 1.2.2

This is a maintenance release incorporating bug fixes and some new features:
