MON-13169 |
management-packs,plugins |
Updated all NSClient checks to use the check_nrpe version 4, and removed the check_nrpe version 2 from OP5 Monitor. |
Additional release documentation
MON-13169:
Since version 2 of check_nrpe does not work on EL8 we have decided to migrate all remaining NSClient checks over to
version 4. This has some notable implications:
- All servers with NSClient that are still using 512-bit keys for their NRPE SSL encryption will need to update to
use 2048-bit keys. We have written a guide on how to do this here: https://support.itrsgroup.com/hc/en-us/articles/4412703611665
- Not all command line arguments are compatible across versions. SSL is enabled by default in version 4 so the -s flag has changed meaning, so we recommend removing this flag.
- NSClient is still using version 2 of the nrpe protocol to communicate, which causes check_nrpe to complain about
invalid packet versions, to get around this warning message, the -2 flag can be used to force the use of protocol version 2.
We have implemented fixes for 2 and 3 for all check commands we ship by default.
Note: Checks using the check_nrpe4 plugin will still work, but be aware that it is just a symlink towards check_nrpe. We
suggest moving them over to use check_nrpe since we can't guarantee the stability of that link in the future.

check_k8s,plugins |
Added the --ignore command-line option to the check_k8s plugin to exclude specified resource names from the check result. |
Additional release documentation
MON-13152:
The --ignore option takes as input a regular expression (regex) which will be compared to the Kubernetes resource name (Node, Deployments, Pods) to determine which resources will be excluded from the check results. Refer to Python's re module documentation for supported regex.

MON-13148 |
Merlin |
A new "accept_runcmd" node setting has been added. This node setting must be enabled in order to use test this check on that node. |
MON-13157 |
Ninja,reports |
Fixed UI issues when editing reports. |
Additional release documentation
MON-13148:
The new setting must be enabled on nodes from which runcmds are to be accepted, in addition to having encryption enabled. This enables setting up encrypted nodes without, per default, also allowing testing of checks from those nodes. Some safety checks have also been introduced in order to make sure the application does not accept or send runcmds from pollers. By default, Slim pollers will have this setting enabled for its masters.
Note: This is possibly a breaking change if you are already using test this check, since it will stop working without this setting.
