NMIS 8.6.3G

This is a maintenance release of NMIS, which does nevertheless introduce a number of new features. This release was published on 25 Jan 2018.

Highlights for the 8.6.3G release

• NMIS now supports Single Sign On with other Opmantek Applications, both for applications on a single system as well as across a whole organisation.
  The SSO section of the User Management page describes the relevant configuration options and adjustments.
• Various robustness and scalability improvements for fpingd and summary operations.
  A dead or faulty fpingd no longer causes internal pinging for all nodes, only for the ones where no or only stale fpingd data is available; fpingd is now also restarted in such cases.
  For type=summary operations NMIS now ensures that at most one such operation is running at any time.
• Robustness improvements in dealing with nodes with long-standing problems
  Nodes that have never been polled successfully are now automatically demoted to a reduced polling frequency:
  polling is attempted only once per day, and a log message about this demotion is logged (once per hour).
  Once such a node becomes pollable, polling resumes at normal frequencies.
• Polling for multiple selected groups and nodes is now possible.
  You may pass nmis.pl type=collect any number of group and node arguments, all of which will be handled inclusively;
  For example, nmis.pl type=collect group=groupA group=Bgroup node=nodeC node=nodeD will try to poll all members of the two given groups and the two given nodes (subject to polling frequency policies, of course).
• Usability improvements for the input data validation system, which now support the validation criteria 'int-or-empty' and 'float-or-empty' which accept empty inputs.
  Weird node names (ie. containing spaces or various special characters)  are now also handled more consistenly and robustly.
• Various installer improvements and updates
  If SE Linux is active, the installer now requires an explicit confirmation input to continue.
  The availability of certain packages on Debian 8, 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 is now handled more consistenly.
  The optional pre-upgrade backup now includes more relevant files, ie. cron, log rotation and apache configs.
  The permissions for log rotation files are now adjusted to appease recent versions of logrotate.
• SNMP-sourced service tests are now displayed with the time of last check.
• The NMIS GUI now masks SNMP v3 passwords and similar credentials.
  The node exception display now works better for SNMP v3 nodes.
• Improved robustness for NMIS runtime exceedence tests.
  NMIS now depends on a newer version of the Proc::ProcessTable module, which does never produce undesirable extra outputs that could create events with very weirdly named nodes (ie. lots of numbers after the node name).
• Purging of old data now optionally includes old HTML reports and JSON config log entries
• Some modelling improvements for Huawei devices
• and, as always, various minor bug fixes and improvements.
