-3.5.5
+3.7.0 2011-08-15
+------------------
+
+* Major overhaul of the perfdata code. This includes API breakage and
+ fixes the following:
+ - Probes were not sorted correctly
+ - Voltage data was not included
+* The PNP template check_openmanage.php has been redone to work with
+ the changes in perfdata output from the plugin
+* A new option '--legacy-perfdata' will make the the plugin output the
+ performance data in the old format
+* The old PNP template for performance data is available in the
+ distribution as 'check_openmanage_legacy.php'
+* Added support for a configuration file
+* Added manual page for the configuration file
+* If using html output, URLs will now open in a new window
+* Added a compatibility fix for OMSA 6.5.0, related to performance
+ data for amperage probes when the plugin is used in local
+ mode. Thanks to Benedikt Meyer for a patch.
+
+3.6.8 2011-06-07
+------------------
+
+* Added workaround for a rare condition in which blade detection fails
+ because the chassis IDs for the blade and interconnect board have
+ switched places in the BaseBoardType SNMP table.
+
+3.6.7 2011-05-12
+------------------
+
+* A regression wrt. non-certified drives were fixed. The plugin failed
+ to identify non-certified physical drives via SNMP.
+* Added the ability to blacklist non-certified drives with the
+ 'pdisk_cert' blacklisting keyword.
+
+3.6.6 2011-04-28
+------------------
+
+* Fixed typo in help output
+* SD card check is now included if the parameter '--only chassis' is
+ specified
+* The plugin will issue a proper warning if a physical drive is
+ uncertified, instead of an unspecified warning. One or more
+ uncertified drives will make the controller go into a non-critical
+ (warning) state.
+* Slightly improved reporting of fan status
+* Exit with value 3 (unknown) if printing debug, help or version
+ info. This is considered best practice for Nagios plugins.
+* Workaround added for logical SAS connectors to external storage
+ enclosures, when using check_openmanage in local mode with OMSA
+ 6.4.0 or later versions. The output from omreport could contain
+ lines that the plugin was unable to parse, which would lead to
+ internal errors.
+
+3.6.5 2011-02-09
+------------------
+
+* Fix counting of components when blacklisting is used. Components
+ should be counted even if blacklisted
+* Added some unsupported vdisk types to the list. The OMSA MIB
+ identifies these, but lists them as unsupported.
+* Added option '-B' or '--show-blacklist' to show any blacklistings in
+ the OK output
+* Fixed a bug for checking voltage probes, if the reading is missing
+ via SNMP.
+* Fixed a regression bug for a power monitoring corner case.
+
+3.6.4 2011-01-04
+------------------
+
+* Added more robustness wrt. values from OMSA obtained via SNMP, to
+ avoid internal errors where non-important values are missing.
+
+3.6.3 2010-12-13
+------------------
+
+* A few compatibility fixes for OMSA 6.4.0 were added.
+
+3.6.2 2010-11-25
+------------------
+
+* Added support for IPv6 when checking via SNMP. IPv6 can be turned on
+ with the option '-6' or '--ipv6'. The default is IPv4 if the option
+ is not present.
+* Added support for TCP when checking vis SNMP. The option '--tcp' can
+ be used to turn on TCP. The default transport protocol is UDP if the
+ option is not present.
+* The mode of operation (local or SNMP) is shown in the debug
+ output. If SNMP is used, the debug output will also show the SNMP
+ protocol version, IP version and transport protocol (UDP or TCP).
+* Amperage probe status via SNMP is of type "probe status", not
+ regular status. This has been fixed.
+* Massive overall robustness improvements to handle OMSA bugs where
+ some information from OMSA is missing.
+* Memory module enumeration via SNMP changed somewhat to reflect
+ enumeration provided by omreport. This ensures that the plugin's
+ output is identical in SNMP or local mode wrt. dimms IDs.
+* Fan enumeration via SNMP changed somewhat to reflect enumeration
+ provided by omreport. This ensures that the plugin's output is
+ identical in SNMP or local mode wrt. fan IDs.
+
+3.6.1 2010-11-02
+------------------
+
+* Included new check for SD cards. Newer servers such as the R710 can
+ have SD cards installed, these should be monitored. The SD card
+ check is on by default. A new blacklisting keyword 'sd' has been
+ added. The SD card check can be turned off with '--check sdcard=0'.
+* Handle special cases where power monitoring capability is disabled
+ due to non-redundant and/or non-instrumented power supplies.
+* For physical disks probed via SNMP, check that values for vendor,
+ product ID and capacity is available before attempting to display
+ those values.
+* If a physical disk is in sufficiently bad condition, the vendor
+ field reported by OMSA may be empty. The plugin now handles this
+ situation without throwing an internal error.
+
+
+3.6.0 2010-08-30
+------------------
+
+* Storage is no longer allowed to be absent. If the plugin doesn't
+ find a storage controller, it will give an alert. For diskless
+ systems or servers without a Dell controller that OMSA recognizes
+ you will now have to specify '--no-storage' or '--check storage=0'
+ to work around this.
+* Report the system revision (if applicable) wherever the model name
+ is printed. E.g. "PowerEdge 2950 III" instead of "PowerEdge 2950".
+* Small change in search path for omreport: The new location for OMSA
+ 6.2.0 and later on Linux will be attempted first.
+* Small bugfix for the '--check' parameter, if the argument is a
+ filename. The file could not contain a linebreak, this has been
+ fixed.
+* Added an option '--no-storage', which is equivalent to the general
+ option '--check storage=0'.
+
+
+3.5.10 2010-07-14
+------------------
+
+* If a physical disk is a hot spare, display this information in
+ the debug output
+* Report the bus protocol (e.g. SAS, SATA) and media type (e.g. HDD,
+ SDD) for physical disks in the debug output, if applicable
+* Minor fix for 100GB physical disks, write "100GB" instead of "99GB"
+* SNMP: Use new features of OMSA 6.3.0 to display occupied and total
+ slots in storage enclosures, if applicable. This information is not
+ available with omreport and check_openmanage will not display this
+ info in local mode.
+* SNMP: Added new processor IDs from the OMSA 6.3.0 MIBs
+* SNMP: Use connection tables in a proper way to determine controller
+ and enclosure IDs, for use with physical disks and enclosure
+ components (fan, temp sensors etc.). This fixes a long standing bug
+ for servers with more than one controller, if checked via SNMP.
+* SNMP: Use the nexus ID as last resort to find the controller for
+ physical disks. Workaround for older, broken OMSA versions.
+* SNMP: Identify enclosures (e.g. '2:0:0') properly so that the
+ reporting with SNMP corresponds to the same report with omreport.
+* SNMP: added a couple of workarounds for pre-historic OMSA versions
+
+
+3.5.9 2010-06-29
+------------------
+
+* More fine-grained reporting of temperature warnings for enclosure
+ temperature probes.
+* Max/min temperature limits for enclosure temp probes are reported in
+ the debug output
+* Report enclosure temperature probes that are "Inactive" as ok
+* Don't try to print out the reading of enclosure temperature probes
+ if the reading doesn't exist or is not an integer
+* Report enclosure EMMs that are "Not Installed" as ok, instead of
+ critical
+* Corrected typo in the PNP4Nagios template
+
+
+3.5.8 2010-06-17
+------------------
+
+* Remove reporting of which controller a logical drive is "attached"
+ to, since this information can't be reliably extracted via SNMP.
+* Avoid collecting Lun ID via SNMP for virtual disks, we don't use it
+* Report total memory and number of dimms in the ok output
+* Difference in reporting if amperage probes have discrete readings
+* Workaround for broken amperage probes
+* Added workaround for bad temperature probes that yields no reading
+ in SNMP mode
+* Get OMSA version via SNMP slightly more efficiently
+
+
+3.5.7 2010-03-19
+------------------
+
+* Added robustness for received SNMP values that are not defined in
+ the MIB. Instead of throwing a perl warning when this happens, the
+ plugin will not report the undefined value.
+* Defined "Replacing" as a defined state for physical disks in SNMP
+ mode, even though this state is not defined in the MIB. It is
+ reported as such by omreport.
+* Physical disk brand/model is now reported when the state of the disk
+ is "Rebuilding" or "Replacing".
+* The state of a physical disk is reported in parentheses when
+ predictive failure is detected. It is useful to know if a disk is
+ online, offline, spare or even failed when predictive failure is
+ reported.
+* Handling of physical disk predictive failure has been improved
+ overall.
+* Refactoring of the perfdata code. In conformance with the plugin
+ development guidelines, the UOM (unit of measure) previously
+ reported in the perfdata output has been removed.
+* The -p or --perfdata option now
+ takes an optional agrument 'minimal', which triggers shorter names
+ for the perfomance data labels. This shortens the output and is a
+ workaround for systems where the amount of output exceeds the 1024
+ char limit of NRPE.
+* The PNP4Nagios template has been updated. Users of check_openmanage
+ and PNP4Nagios are advised to upgrade. This version of
+ check_openmanage needs the new template.
+* Lots of other small improvements and updates.
+
+
+3.5.6 2010-02-23
+------------------
+
+* New option '--use-get_table' is added as a workaround for SNMPv3 on
+ Windows using net-snmp. This option will make check_openmanage use
+ the Net::SNMP function get_table() instead of get_entries() to
+ collect information via SNMP.
+* Include a blacklisting option 'ctrl_pdisk' which takes the
+ controller number as argument. This blacklisting option only works
+ with omreport and is a workaround for broken disk firmwares that
+ contain illegal XML characters. These characters makes openmanage
+ barf and exit with an error. Patch from Bas Couwenberg.
+* If the blacklisting keyword "all" is supplied for a component type,
+ that component type is not checked at all, i.e. the commands are
+ never executed. This will make check_openmanage execute faster if
+ blacklisting is heavily used.
+* Option '--htmlinfo' now has a shorter equivalent '-I'
+* The option '--short-state' now has a shorter equivalent '-S'
+
+
+3.5.5 2010-01-22
------------------
* Fixed an SNMP bug where the plugin didn't handle OID indexes that
- were not sequential.
+ were not sequential. Thanks to Gianluca Varenni for reporting.
* Fixed an SNMP bug when checking old hardware such as the PE 2650 and
PE 750. The controller id for physical drives were collected and
displayed incorrectly. This release uses an additional OID to fetch
- this info, which would otherwise be unavailable.
+ this info, which would otherwise be unavailable. Thanks to Gianluca
+ Varenni for reporting this bug.
+* Should use %snmp_probestatus, not %snmp_status when checking the
+ status of voltage probes. Thanks to Ken McKinlay for a patch.
+* Fix when identifying blades via SNMP with very old OMSA
+ versions. Patch from Ken McKinlay.
+* Better way of finding the ID of physical drives via SNMP
