NMIS 8.6.5G

This is a maintenance release of NMIS and was published on 23 May 2018.

Highlights for the 8.6.5G release

  • New summarisation features and improvements for CSV exporting of graph data
    CSV Exporting was made more robust, reports errors better and now produces safe comma-separated output (was tab-separated before).
    NMIS can now optionally export CSV data in summarised form (before it always returned the highest available precision data from the RRD file):
    The 'Adv. Export' page lets you choose from a number of typical summarisation periods (see config option export_summarisation_periods), or pick a custom period.
    The exported data will contain averaged values for the requested summarisation periods.
  • Improved robustness for service monitoring
    Misconfigured services now show up as 'down' with an explanatory text (previously such were skipped silently). Tempfiles are not left behind anymore.
  • Improved modelling for Nexus devices
  • The example SNMPD configuration shipped with NMIS was adjusted for better security.
  • NMIS-to-Opmantek Single-Sign-On robustness improvements
    A number of problematic corner-cases were resolved, but please note that the necessary changes are unfortunately not backwards-compatible:
    Using cookie flavour 'omk' (and appropriate secret) in NMIS 8.6.5G will only work with Opmantek application releases newer than 22.5.2018. Until at least one sufficiently new releases is installed, OMK-NMIS cookie sharing will not work and separate logins will be required.

NMIS 8.6.4G

This is a maintenance release of NMIS which primarily fixes a few regressions. This release was published on 23 Mar 2018.
