Opsview Cloud 6.8.9

Released: 7 December 2023

Highlights

These are the highlights of this release:

New features and enhancements

These are the new features and enhancements of this release:

Issue key Description
OP-43712 The Erlang, CouchDB, RabbitMQ, HAProxy, and Kerberos versions within Opsview have been upgraded to mitigate security vulnerabilities.
OP-59446 The Process Map dashlet indicators now display an Investigate menu option that provides access to detailed information about the corresponding monitored objects.
OP-62095 As part of this upgrade, Opsview can now distinguish between Opsview-provided monitoring files (plugins, event handlers, and notification scripts) and those uploaded by users. During this process, any user-uploaded files with the same name as an Opsview-provided file will be overwritten. These overwritten files can be re-imported using the standard documented procedures, as long as any naming conflicts are resolved. However, any edits made solely on collector systems will be overwritten when sync_monitoringscripts is executed after the upgrade.

This release also includes the following updates:

  • The check_plugin_output plugin has been deprecated and is now removed from the system if it is not currently being used by a Service Check or Host Check command. If you are still using the check_plugin_output plugin, it will now be considered a user-uploaded plugin.
  • The REST API endpoint /rest/config/plugin now returns an origin_id field. A value of 0 means the plugin is provided by Opsview, while a value of 1 means the plugin was uploaded by a user.

Issues fixed

These are the issues we have fixed in this release:

Issue key Description
OP-56496 The login page now automatically reloads after an hour of inactivity since rendering to prevent anti-CSRF token errors and enhance user experience.
OP-57836 Opsview has been updated to prevent unnecessary code compilation attempts. Previously, an alert would be triggered whenever an attempt was made to compile code using the GCC command in a Linux environment.
OP-61771 The Scheduler version stored in the Opsview database is automatically updated with each Scheduler package update and restart.
OP-62356 Collectors can be added to a remotely managed cluster regardless of the alphabetical order of their hostname. In the event of a message queue setup failure, the playbook no longer becomes unresponsive indefinitely.
OP-63677 Automonitor scan logs can now properly handle and display multiline errors. This resolves a previous issue on Windows machines where multiline PowerShell error messages were interpreted as invalid JSON, leading to incorrect display in the UI.
OP-64059 Opsview upgrades on cloud environments utilizing MySQL 8 no longer fail due to a fixed issue.
OP-64069 Fixed permission problems with external databases, ensuring smooth database backup and restore processes in both Opsview Cloud and Opsview Monitor deployments.

Released: 1 November 2023

Highlights

These are the highlights of this release:

New features and enhancements

These are the new features and enhancements of this release:

Issue key Description
OP-61526 You can now view the Collector Management upgrade log files in the user interface, which makes it easier to debug upgrade issues.
OP-61567 The following Opspacks have been added and updated:
  • Database - Etcd (v2.1.0) — The Database - Etcd Host Template now supports the ETCD_TLS variable for TLS connections.
  • Database - MySQL Server (v2.2.0) — The Database - MySQL - Agentless Host Template is now available for monitoring MySQL installations without a monitoring agent installed. You can also use the new MySQL Max used connections - higher thresholds service check.
  • [Beta] Application - InfluxDB — This new Opspack allows you to monitor InfluxDB deployments.
  • [Beta] Database - CouchDB — This new Opspack provides basic monitoring for CouchDB servers.
OP-61665 The address of the remote system is now included in the audit log record when a collector registration or cluster upgrade is started. This allows you to track where the remote registration request was made.
OP-61666 Remotely managed collectors can now automatically monitor their own disks, so you can track their status without having to manually add the disks to your monitoring configuration.
OP-61784 Opsview has changed how to import plugins and Opspacks:
  • Plugin or plugin-related Opspack files cannot be imported if their name clashes with an existing Opsview-provided plugin. If this happens, you should rename the file you are trying to upload.
  • Opspack imports now correctly display file clashes in the UI.
  • Plugin help text gathering has been improved, and more Opsview-provided plugins will have help text accessible in the UI. The check_wmi_plus.pl plugin now reports summarized INI help unless the --inihelp option is provided.
The following Opspacks have been updated to clean up files and plugins:
  • Application - Microsoft Hyper-V Agentless (v2.2.4)
  • Application - WebLogic (v2.1.2)
  • Database - PostgreSQL (v2.0.2)
  • Infrastructure - APC (v2.0.2)
  • Infrastructure - Sensatronics (v2.0.2)
  • Network - Cisco (v2.0.2)
  • Network - Cisco Advanced (v2.0.2)
  • Network - Foundry (v2.0.2)
  • Network - Juniper (v2.0.2)
  • Network - NetScaler (v2.0.2)

  • OS - Windows WMI - DNS Agentless (v2.1.4)
  • OS - Windows WMI - IIS Server Agentless (v2.1.4)
  • OS - Windows WMI - Terminal Services Agentless (v2.1.4)
  • SNMP - MIB-II (v4.1.3)
OP-62420 Collector Management now allows you to access the log API while an action is in progress, such as during a registration or update. This means that you do not have to wait for the action to complete or time out before you can view the logs.
OP-62680 Collector Management has added the following options to help identify and troubleshoot registration and upgrade issues:
  • -v or --verbose option added to collector registration to the collector upgrade utility.
  • opsview-deploy is invoked with -vvv when the verbose option is specified.

Issues fixed

These are the issues we have fixed in this release:

Issue key Description
OP-38891 Fixed an issue where service dependencies were not correctly handled when multiple service checks were created. Previously, child service checks would continue to run even after the parent service check had failed. This could cause incorrect notifications to be sent out.
OP-56894 Fixed an issue where the setup-monitoring playbook failed when change logging was enabled. This means that you can now register and update remotely managed collectors when the change logs are enabled.
OP-62062 Fixed an issue where the font becomes invisible when the mobile app is in dark theme.
OP-62080 Fixed several issues in the Collector Management user interface, including:
  • The new cluster modal does not check the Network Topology license, so the check box is always enabled.
  • The display message at the end of successful registration has been changed to Successful registration.
  • When registration fails, the upgrade failed toast message has been changed to a registration error message.
  • The cluster name in the modal is not wrapped, has no tooltip, and can be truncated.
OP-62633 Audit events for remote collector registration request and completion have been moved from the CONFIG to the ACTION category.
OP-62656 The Hyper-V VA image can now be used on a disk that is larger than 20 GB, which allows for more data to be stored and used. This unblocks Hyper-V VA deployments. Note that the VA contains Opsview version 6.8.7.
OP-62838 Session tokens are now more secure and are no longer displayed on the command line to improve security. This means that the session token is not passed to opsview-deploy or curl, or it is not saved in the Ansible log, logged command line, or verbose logging (-vvv).
OP-62933 The remote collector upgrade utility now logs events to help users diagnose problems. Additionally, startup problems with the upgrade utility are now reported to the data server.
OP-63073 Collector registration now works on all supported operating systems. Previously, using an old version of curl would prevent you from registering collectors.
OP-63102 Fixed an issue where the WebSocket sent multiple messages to the front end when status changes occurred in a Collector Management cluster. This could cause messages to be displayed to the user more than once.

Opsview Cloud 6.8.7

Released: 28 September 2023

Highlights

These are the highlights of this release:

For more information, see What’s New in Opsview.

New features and enhancements

These are the new features and enhancements of this release:

Issue key Description
OP-58270 Collectors can now be automatically self-monitored by the cluster when they use SSH tunnels to connect to the master. This means that you no longer have to manually reconfigure collectors when you want to use SSH tunnels to connect to the master.
OP-59667 The dataserver progress API has been updated to handle reports with an attached log file for remotely managed collector registrations and upgrades. This lets Opsview administrators diagnose problems with remotely managed collector registrations and upgrades by viewing the attached log file.
OP-59908 The following Opspacks have been updated: Application - Opsview (v3.1.0), Opsview - Self Monitoring (v3.0.0). Also, the Opsview - Login Service Check now supports systems with and without TLS enabled.
OP-59909 You can now see toast messages when triggering an upgrade. This will notify you of collector upgrade events so that you can be aware of the status of your upgrades and take any necessary action.
OP-61657 The dataserver now provides reload events to all applications. This allows applications to react to changes in the dataserver, if necessary. Previously, the orchestrator sent reload events to the dataserver, but these were ingested by Network Topology. Now, the events are ingested by the dataserver and then passed to any services that have subscribed to reload events.
OP-61665 The address of the remote system is now included in the audit log record when a collector registration or cluster upgrade is started. This allows you to track where the remote registration request was made.
OP-62094 The Apply Changes modal now shows how many configuration changes have been updated from the command line (by the SYSTEM user). The opsview_sync_ldap now also logs progress messages to the Audit Logs using the ACTION category (instead of the CONFIG category).

Issues fixed

These are the issues we have fixed in this release:

Issue key Description
OP-59115 The Orchestrator and Scheduler now shut down correctly. This prevents old Orchestrator and Scheduler processes from running and causing the Opsview service to be in a bad state after an upgrade.
OP-61939 Remote collectors can now be installed using the same repository as the master. This simplifies the installation process and makes it easier to keep remote collectors up-to-date.
OP-62341 Administrators are now notified of failures to upgrade remotely managed clusters, which allows them to investigate the failures and take appropriate action.

Issue key Description
OP-38325 You can now delete users and bulk hosts without any errors when the changelog is enabled.
OP-43652 State history retention and audit log retention are decoupled. The new State History Retention setting in My System covers downtimes, acknowledgments, and object event history. This also fixed UI issues during post-Apply Changes backups. For more information, see the My System > Options documentation.
OP-57192 Updated product documentation links to ensure that they direct users to the correct sections in the ITRS Opsview documentation.
OP-60167 The opsview-netaudit-collector package now includes the additional patched files listed in the Makefile to ensure that the package works correctly.
OP-60292 The Collector Management page has been updated to ensure that all elements are aligned and styled consistently throughout the user interface.
OP-60554 The responses from the dataserver have been refactored to return JSON instead of HTML. This makes error handling easier when calling the dataserver API.
