NMIS 8.6.1G

This maintainance release of NMIS was published on 21 December 2016.

Highlights for the 8.6.1G release

  • new and improved device support for Juniper, Meraki, VMware ESXi, MikroTik, Alcoma, Trango, Ubquiti, Radwin Wireless and others
  • Better support for devices whose SNMP agent supports snmpEngineTime.
  • NMIS can now perform threshold check operations during each node's collect operation, instead of separately at the end the collect run.
    This can be controlled using the option threshold_poll_node (default: true). Performing the threshold check with the node is normally more efficient and faster.
  • Disk thresholding was updated to work better with different disk sizes.
  • Thresholding for WMI-sourced data now works more reliably.
  • NMIS device modelling now works better with devices that have unreliable, changing object indices, and RRD database file naming can now access more variables for dynamic expansion.
  • Various installer robustness improvements
  • The node_admin tool now supports more fine-grained operations like act=set, and also node renaming combined with property setting in a single action.
  • The Basic Setup dialog now warns about an unsafe default authentication secret key.
  • NMIS now interoperates better with Nagios plugins, especially remote plugins accessed through NRPE (via the check_nrpe plugin).
    NMIS can now collect, store and display multiple 'performace values' that a Nagios plugin might return.
  • Logging verbosity levels and precision were improved.
  • Service checks using SAPI scripts and port connectivity checks using nmap honor timeouts now, and log more relevant information.
  • various graph improvements (e.g. better legends for interface utilization and disk usage graphs),
  • and of course various bug fixes and minor amendments.
