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.

Highlights for the 8.6.4G release

  • Users with numeric privilege level 2 and above (ie. from operator- to guest-level) were not able to login in 8.6.3G. This is now fixed.
  • The newest version of the NMIS support tool is included, which collects more relevant information when investigating particular nodes.
  • The Node Configuration GUI widget no longer auto-refreshes under any circumstances.
  • For non-collectable but pingable nodes NMIS now defaults to model "Generic" which means a minimum of graphs can be displayed for such a node.
  • For nodes that have been non-collectable for a long time NMIS now offers to attempt collect operations only once every 24 hours;
    the installer asks whether this configuration option demote_faulty_nodes should be activated or not.
  • Past non-recurring Scheduled Outages are now automatically removed.
  • The installer now defaults to installing all typical (but technically optional) perl modules that NMIS can use for authentication and authorization.
    Most specifically this includes Net::LDAP.
  • For a number of computationally expensive operations (e.g. thresholds, metrics, escalate) NMIS now ensures that no more than one instance is running at any time.
  • Various robustness improvements and minor bug fixes.
