Important

• We have reversed a change made to mark interfaces historic if the index has changed, this has caused a regression.
• Interface summary has been turned off by default, this usually updates the Links.nmis configuration file. the
  • The config "disable_interfaces_summary" item has been removed
  and if
  • . If you need this feature, set "enable_interfaces_summary" to true in Config.nmis. With this feature turned off there are significant performance increases when nodes update.

Highlights

• New feature to add custom validation logic for node updating and saving.
• node_admin.pl can now delete nodes which are currently collecting.
• CDP Plugin speed enchantmentsenhancements. We've also improved its ability to search connections between nodes.
• Installer support for RHEL9.
• Reduced the frequency with updating the expire_at record if there are no data changes to be saved.
• New feature to add 95th percentile onto graphs.
• New config item "minimum_node_configuration_change_seconds", some devices do not report the node configuration change well so we have allowed a bit of wiggle room . - default is 10s10 seconds.
• efficiently Efficiently ensuring indexes on timed_data collections.
• new New index on status collection.

...

• Ported the NMIS8 Plugin 'combinedCPULoad' to NMIS9.
• The 'ZyxelInterface' plugin has been ported to NMIS9.

Bugfixes

• NMIS9 was displaying empty groups in the metrics and health panel. This issue is partially fixed.  It is caused by Groups with members lacking historical data.  A future update will improve the handling further.
• Running an update did not always update connection link information.  This has been fixed.
• In a RedHat 8 System, the 'fping6' command has been removed because 'fping' now properly handles IPV6.  NMIS would loop constantly on startup looking for this command.  NMIS now checks the version of 'fping', and does not require 'fping6' if 'fping' handles IPV6.  Also, if one of the required programs is missing, NMIS will now simply report this as a fatal error in the log and exit, so that the Administrator can know immediately that there is a problem.
• A logic error in Interface handling caused the system to occasionally be unable to locate an Interface because the calling routine requested a specific Interface, and the logic attempted to do a global search, which required an extra argument that was not included.
• node_admin.pl when using the 'import_bulk ' action was failing failing to import Node Configuration data from NMIS8.  This has been fixed.
