Issue key Description
OP-29766

Improved scheduled downtime functionality by allowing you to cancel specific or multiple downtimes by object, providing greater control and flexibility. Enabled access to the redesigned scheduled downtime page, allowing you to take advantage of the updated interface and its enhanced features.

For more information, see Viewing and canceling downtimes.
OP-74785

Added support for MySQL 8.4 as a database option: MySQL 8.4 is now supported as a non-default database on RHEL 8 and 9, OL 8 and 9, and Debian 12. For Ubuntu 22, MySQL 8.4 is now the default database. Ubuntu 20 will continue to use MySQL 8.0 as the default.

For more information, see the following documentation:
OP-75149

Introduced the Opsview State Manager and persistent datastore support.

This release adds a distributed, persistent key-value datastore that can be accessed via plugnpy and Cache Manager. Data persists across restarts and reboots, is shared across all Cache Manager instances in a cluster, supports JSON data up to 16 KB, and is automatically compacted. The new Opsview State Manager is designed for long-lived and session data, complementing Cache Manager, which remains focused on short-term, ephemeral data.
OP-75232

Redesigned the Schedule Downtime modal by introducing a new tabbed interface with Status Based and General Selection panels while preserving existing functionality.

It adds manual host and service check selection with sorting, searching, and deletion, dynamically populates Host and Service Check selectors based on the selected Host Group, Host, or Hashtag, and includes adaptive Add Hosts and Add Service Checks buttons that automatically enable or disable as appropriate.

Opsview 6.11.6 Copied

Released: 29 October 2025

Package rebuilds with updated checksums

The following packages were rebuilt as part of the Opsview 6.11.6 release without any functional or code changes. Due to the rebuild, their checksums have changed, which may cause them to appear as available for upgrade in some environments.

Affected packages:

  • opsview-erlang
  • opsview-krb5
  • opsview-nodejs
  • opsview-pki
  • opsview-powershell
  • opsview-python3
  • opsview-setup
  • opsview-web-app-ui-external
  • opsview-web-app-ui-theme

This is a non-impacting change, and no action is required unless checksum consistency is strictly enforced in your deployment processes.

Issue key Description
OP-51302 Optimized the /rest/event API to improve performance for large event queries by introducing a threshold-based mechanism for using straight joins, resulting in faster response times and reduced database load for event-related dashboards and views.
OP-57584 Introduced the pre_filter_custom_fields setting in the Results Exporter for file, syslog, and HTTP outputs, allowing string custom fields to be added to messages before filtering for use in filter expressions. This release also enhances support for YAML multiline strings when defining filters.
OP-75379 Added two new fields, parent_host_names and child_host_names, to the RuntimeHosts model in the Results Exporter. These fields return sorted lists of parent and child host names, respectively, and can be used to enrich exported messages. If no parent or child hosts are defined, the fields return empty lists.

Opsview 6.11.5 Copied

Released: 23 September 2025

Highlights Copied

These are the highlights of this release:

New features and enhancements Copied

These are the highlights of this release:

Issue key Description
OP-74334

Improved handling of local login when Single Sign-On (SSO) is configured in Opsview. This update also introduced a new user variable, opsview_disable_local_login (default: False), which allows administrators to disable local login when SSO (Okta/Azure AD) is enabled.

To improve security and prevent misconfiguration, deployment-time validations were added to:

  • Prevent configurations where both SSO and local login are disabled.
  • Block deployments if local login is disabled while LDAP synchronization is enabled.
OP-75171 The Microsoft Hyper-V Agentless Opspack now uses check-Hyper-V-v2.ini (which relies on root/virtualization/v2) instead of check-Hyper-V.ini. This change enables compatibility with Windows Server 2012 and later versions, as they ship with root/virtualization/v2.

Issues fixed Copied

These are the issues we have fixed in this release:

Issue key Description
OP-45287 Servicedesk Connector now operates efficiently without progressively consuming more memory, ensuring consistent performance and timely operation during normal use.
OP-68436 Fixed an issue where the Apply Changes process could fail when encountering metric names or units of measurement (UOM) that exceed allowed lengths. Also, service check results containing overly long metric names or UOMs are now rejected gracefully.
OP-73254 WMI Plus checkcpu now reports CPU usage correctly.
OP-73659

Fixed an issue where the Ansible template module experienced significant delays when run remotely, which impacted upgrade processing time.

The upgrade process has been optimized by caching the data required to generate configurations for generic components once per host. This eliminates redundant data loading for each component and significantly reduces upgrade time when multiple components and hosts are involved.
OP-74322

Fixed an inconsistency between the inventory and check_deploy playbook regarding supported PKI Common Name (CN) lengths.

Also, the check_deploy playbook now supports Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) up to 64 characters, aligning with the behavior of other playbooks.
OP-74812 Fixed an issue where graphing data for service checks using warning thresholds was not being recorded in check_wmi_plus. Graph data is now correctly captured when warning thresholds are applied.
OP-75069 Service checks now correctly handle metric results even when they exceed 100.

OP-73798 Fixed an issue where the checkfolderfileage query in the check_wmi_plus Python plugin incorrectly handled forward slashes in file paths. Now, the query converts forward slashes to backslashes using the slashconversion argument.
OP-73879 The check_wmi_plus Python plugin has been updated to correctly apply the StartMode filter when using the -4 argument with -a ServiceName filter in checkservice mode.
OP-74388 Fixed an issue where the orchestrator was incorrectly flagged as offline when no system health issues were present.

Opsview 6.11.2 Copied

Released: 21 May 2025

Highlights Copied

These are the highlights of this release:

New features and enhancements Copied

These are the highlights of this release:

Issue key Description
OP-54491 Opsview now supports the following SNMPv3 authentication protocol options:
  • sha224 (SHA-224)
  • sha256 (SHA-256)
  • sha384 (SHA-384)
  • sha512 (SHA-512)
For more information, see Supported SNMPv3 Protocols.
OP-73297 The id field in the opsview.auditlogs table has been updated from int to unsigned int, doubling its maximum value. This addresses the risk of the audit log id reaching its previous limit due to frequent passive check submissions via the REST API. For high-frequency checks, we recommended using the Results Forwarder to help avoid inflating audit log entries.
OP-73579 Added new monitoring with cluster health alarm for messagequeue issues such as network partitions and memory throttling on the orchestrator. The Configuration > Collector Management page has been updated to show these issues in tooltips, helping you track the health of your master RabbitMQ cluster even if the standard self-monitoring checks are not running. For more information, see Cluster Health Alarms.

Issues fixed Copied

These are the issues we have fixed in this release:

Issue key Description
OP-37229 Opsview can now handle cleanup tasks for flow collector data using a scheduled cron job. Previously, netflow data had no defined retention period, which caused the file system to become full. For more information, see Flow collector housekeeping.
OP-43922 The housekeeping job for the runtime database now works successfully regardless of the number of messages being processed by results-live and results-recent.
OP-57486 Fixed an issue where service checks were immediately marked as stale upon entering their scheduled check period following a monitoring suspension. The Freshness Checker has been updated to include a check interval to the freshness timeout, preventing false alerts by allowing checks sufficient time to run before being evaluated for staleness. For more information, see Freshness Checking.
OP-63516 Deleted documents in the opsview-logs and opsview-sessionmanager databases can now be automatically removed from the system, improving database performance and efficiency.
OP-73132 Fixed a race condition where Apply Changes failed if the system attempted to stop a task that had already completed.
OP-73133 Fixed argument parsing issues in check_dns. Now, the plugin works successfully using standard input (stdin) or command line arguments.
OP-73646 Fixed an issue where uploaded notification scripts could fail to run when executed during metadata file creation.
OP-73735 Fixed performance issues in the configuration windows of the following dashlets:
  • Performance Graph
  • Performance Gauge
  • Metric Pie Chart
  • Process Map
  • Top Services by Metric
This results in faster load times and improved responsiveness on dashlets when selecting hosts, service checks, and metrics in large-scale systems. For more information, see Dashlets.
OP-73820 The executor agent client (the current built-in check_nrpe plugin) has been updated to function similarly to the check_nrpe plugin from Opsview versions prior to 6.9.2. Previously, when a connection to the agent was refused, an UNKNOWN was returned. Now, the plugin returns a CRITICAL status. The new --unknown-connection-refused plugin option is available to return UNKNOWN in these situations instead; this only works once the whole system, including collectors, has been upgraded.
OP-73833 Fixed an issue in the opsview.reload_stages table where the current_stage value could exceed the max_stages value, which resulted to a disproportionate progress in the reload bar.

OP-72149 The opsviewd component has been removed from Opsview Monitor. Its functionality has been re-implemented in the Orchestrator’s REST API.
OP-71025

The check_wmi_plus.pl Perl plugin has been deprecated. If you are using this plugin, we strongly recommend updating your service checks to use the check_wmi_plus Python plugin for improved security.

The following Opsview-provided Opspacks might be affected if the system has been deployed before Opsview version 6.9.2:

  • OS - Windows WMI - Terminal Services Agentless Opspack
  • OS - Windows WMI - IIS Server Agentless Opspack
  • OS - Windows WMI - DNS Agentless Opspack
  • OS - Windows WMI - Base Agentless Opspack
  • Application - Microsoft Hyper-V Agentless Opspack

The check-deploy playbook will identify and list all affected service checks for manual updates. Once updated, all service checks will continue to work as expected.
OP-61973

Automatically deployed self-monitoring hosts in Opsview now monitor two new checks against opsview-messagequeue nodes:

  • Opsview - MessageQueue - Partitions
  • Opsview - MessageQueue - Memory Usage Watermark

These use two new modes of the built-in check_rabbitmq_node plugin:

  • partitions — detects if a node is aware of a cluster network partition and the other nodes that are separated.
  • mem_usage_watermark — returns memory usage as a percentage of the configured memory watermark limit and outputs the limit itself.
For more information, see MessageQueue.

OP-69153 Objects selected using Hashtag Individual Tagging and Interface Tagging for users with VIEWSOME now correctly display in the Navigator and send out notifications. For more details, see Adding a Hashtag.
OP-69614 MessageQueue permissions have been updated to resolve issues with NetAudit backups on clustered systems.
OP-70401 Fixed an issue where system downtime caused invalid stale results, which can wipe non-sticky acknowledgments on problem states.
OP-71571 Opsview cronjobs can now handle systems where /opt/opsview/coreutils/var/backups uses a symlink to another drive.
OP-71733 Fixed parsing issues in the check_wmi_plus plugin.

Previously, range parsing in thresholds was incorrect. Additionally, the checkeventlog mode had several limitations:

  • The -4 option was not recognized.
  • The -3 option did not support floating-point values.
  • An error occurred when the -o option’s argument began with a comma.
OP-71766 The opsview-python3-modules package now correctly depends on libyaml for the appropriate OS.

Issue key Description
OP-53802 SNMP-enabled hosts now use the ifName field by default during interface querying. For more information, see Use SNMP ifName.
OP-54915 The NetAudit UI has been updated to show hosts based on the permissions of the user. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view hosts. For more information, see NetAudit Troubleshooting.
OP-60756 AutoMonitor and Autodiscovery apps now have their own access controls (AUTOMONITOR and AUTODISCOVERY), separate from the CONFIGUREHOSTS access for the Hosts List page. This provides more granular permission options. During the upgrade, any Roles with CONFIGUREHOSTS will automatically gain AUTOMONITOR and AUTODISCOVERY permissions to maintain behavior. Additionally, a security update has been implemented to prevent unauthorized changes. As a result, AutoMonitor now requires both CONFIGURESAVE and AUTOMONITOR permissions.

Warning

If you previously relied on a role with CONFIGUREHOSTS but no CONFIGURESAVE to use AutoMonitor, this will no longer work.
For systems using multi-tenancy, any primary or tenant roles with unauthorized access will lose those privileges during this upgrade.
OP-62629 Opspack: OS - VMware vSphere (v2.1.0) has been updated. Opsview now supports vSphere 8 and vCenter 8.0 environments; the older versions of vSphere including 6.0, 6.7, and 7.0 continue to be supported, along with vCenter 6.7 and 7.0.

OP-70306 MySQL 8.0 is now supported as a non-default database choice for Opsview deployments on RHEL 9 and OL 9. See Supported Databases.
OP-70347 Dynamic Thresholds for Opsview Enterprise have been updated to improve the calculation of threshold values and support hard limits. The threshold macros used in Dynamic Thresholds compatible with Service Checks have been changed from WARNINGGT and CRITICALGT to WARNINGDT and CRITICALDT. This macro rename means that custom checks using the old macros must be updated to continue working.
OP-70540 Dynamic Thresholds algorithm for Opsview Enterprise has been improved to better support large metric value drops, which reduces noise generated by these changes.

OP-61898 AutoMonitor vSphere Express Scan and the OS - VMware vSphere Opspack now correctly handle nested folders in vCenter datacenters.
OP-65414 When self-monitoring is being set up, disk partitions mounted to paths greater than 64 characters will not be included.
OP-69936 Cloud - Azure Opspack documentation has been updated to include setting up the Azure Monitor Agent. This replaces the Log Analytics Agent for Azure VM Monitoring, which is a prerequisite for some Host Templates.
OP-70031 Filtering by Host Group now works correctly for Event Graph and Event Table dashlets. Upon opening the configuration options of Event Graph and Event Table, an access denied box will no longer appear for users without the CONFIGUREVIEW permission.
OP-70150 Fixed an issue with downtime creation where a user with ADMINACCESS can set downtime on objects they cannot view. Now, downtime creation and deletion both correctly affect objects a user is authorized to access.
OP-70284 When there is a connection error in Nucleon RabbitMQ adapter used for opsview-messagequeue, the error logs now include the specific details of the connection error.
OP-70296 Additional positional arguments to the executor agent client (check_nrpe) are now correctly passed to agents, which allows you to continue using existing custom service checks that use additional positional arguments. This also fixes a behavior change from 6.9.2 when the original check_nrpe plugin was replaced.
OP-71369 Reporting Module has been updated to support additional OS Java versions to fix startup issues on RHEL 9 systems.
OP-71656 Fixed an issue for Opsview Enterprise where service checks that use Dynamic Thresholds fail on collectors that run older versions than the Orchestrator.
