Querying -for invalid information caused the query process to crash. - -11/27/99 -CHANGES - Various documenation updated and additions. - -11/24/99 -FIXED - spong-network and spong-client had a wrong variable name in the -&status() function if the inet_aton() function failed. (Thanks to Tom Brown) - files - spong-client - spong-network - -FIXED - Changed file permissions setting of CGI programs installation in the -'build' program. The CGI programs were installed with write permission for the -$WEB users in the build program. (Thanks to Tom Brown) - -CHANGE - The uiowa.edu "Machine Info" link on the Web Displays has been -replaced with a $WWW_ACTIONBAR_CUSTOM variable in the spong.conf configuration -file. If the $WWW_ACTIONBAR_CUSTOM variable is defined, the contents of -the variable will be included in the Display frame's Action Bar. Only -HTML code should be used in this variable. - -11/22/99 -FIXED - Some machines were core dumping in the spong-message program in the -&load_msg_funcs() procedure on a glob() function. This function loads the -messaging plugins from the library. The &load_msg_funcs was rewritten to -use opendir() and readdir() instead of glob(). - -FIXED - spong-server had a bug in the --restart logic. It was not handling -the terminated of it's child processes correctly. The HUP handler function -(hup_handler) was rewritten to waitpid() explicit on the child process pids, -instead of using the standard &chld_handler() function. - -FIXED - spong-server had another latent bug in the &chld_handler function. -It was not reinitializing the $SIG{CHLD} signal handler. This has to be done -on systems using System V based libraries. - -FIXED - spong.conf.solaris had a bug if spong-client was not run as root. -The &gets_swap() function called "swap -s" without an explicit path. The -fix was to call "swap -s" with the full path name to the swap command. - -CHANGED - Changed the check_ntp network check to be a bit less draconian -with a critical error. It will not only be a critical is the service is -not running. A yellow conditions will be reported if the time is more then -one second off or it the ntp server is not synchonized yet. - files - lib/Spong/Network/plugins/check_ntp - -11/15/99 -ADDED - Added code to spong-server to have it automatically daemonize itself -and disconnect from the foreground. It is using a new Daemon.pm library -module. - files - spong-server - lib/Spong/Daemon.pm - -CHANGED - The child process handle logic has been changed to better handle -termination signals. The child processes now exit gracefull. - files - spong-server - -CHANGED - spong-client and spong-network daemonize code has been replace with -the Daemon.pm module. - -11/02/99 -CHANGED - Changed daemonize code to use the POSIX setsid() function to become -session leader. Programs where not disconnecting from tty in FreeBSD. - files - spong-network - spong-client - -ADDED - Added new OS configure. FreeBSD. The uptime program has weird -behaviour when called with full path name. - -ADDED - Added new client check 'check_mailq'. It checks sendmail mail queue -levels against $MAILQWARN and $MAILQCRIT. It uses $MAILQ as the command to -execute to display the mailq. Added $MAILQ to all spong.conf files. - -FIXED - spong-client program has a bug in the load_plugins subroutine. It was -trying to use $HOSTS from spong.hosts, but the program doesn't use spong.hosts. -Change the logic to look for $CHECKS in the spong.conf file instead. - -11/01/99 -FIXED - Fixed missing @@PERL@@ substitution variable for #! line of spong-clientand spong-network. - -10/30/99 -CHANGED - Added new client check plugin mechanism similar to spong-network. Client checks are now plugs that can be configured at runtime. Client plugs -resident in the lib/Spong/Client/plugins directory. The current plugsin are -the 'disk','cpu','processes','logs'. - -Spong-client now looks for a 'checks' field in the $HOSTS hash to see what -plugins to run. The syntax the the same as the 'services' field. If no -'checks' field is present, spong-client defaults to 'disk_space cpu_load -processes log_files' and &check_local if present. - - 10/29/99 -FIX - Fixed forking and signal login of spong-server to fork off properly -and terminate properly when signalled. - -10/28/99 -CHANGED - spong-network now, by default, forks, disconnects from the console -and runs in the background. spong-network will run in the foreground if the ---debug parameter is used. - -CHANGED - spong-message has been enchanced with a new messaging function -plugin mechanism (like spong-network's). New messaging functions can be -added by adding the msg_* file into the lib/Spong/Message/plugins directory. -The old messaging functions converted use the new plugin mechanism, and a -couple of others have been added to show the full functionality of the -new code. - -CHANGED - spong-message contact syntax has been enhanced to allow finer -control over the to whom messages are sent. Your can specify which message -function/carrier to notify rather than all of a $HUMANS defined notifications. -I.E.: 'sjohnson:email' or 'unix-oncall:teletouch' or 'thebosses:sprintphone'. - Files - bin/spong-message - etc/spong.message - -ADDED - You now specify an initial delay before notifications are send out -(e.g. Don't page until a service has RED for at least 15 minutes). And you may -also specify a repeat interval for notifications after the initial notification -(e.g. Keep paging every 10 minutes until problem is acknowledged). The new -synatx is detailed in the comments of spong.message configuration file. - Files - bin/spong-server - bin/spong-message - etc/spong.message - -10/12/99 -ADDED - NTP (Network Time Protocol) spong-network plugin. This plugin checks -the NTP offset of the server using the "ntpdate -q" command. If the ntpdate -checks returns "Server not suitable for sync...", the status is red. Otherwise -if the offset is not than one second the status is yellow. A $NTPDATE variable -with the path to the ntpdate command must be added to the spong.conf -configuration file. - -10/11/99 -ADDED - Secure Shell (ssh) spong-network plugin. It checks whether the Secure -Shell service is running or not. - -10/07/99 -ADDED - A timestamp has been added to the services status file to track -event duration. The start time of an event is defined as a when a change of -status for a service. A new field 'stime' (Start Time) has been added to -the Service.pm object. The display of the event duration has been added to -the Service::display_* routines for a full format displays. - Files - bin/spong-server - lib/Spong/Service.pm - -10/06/99 -ADDED - Added code to spong-client to allow it to fork and daemionize. -spong-client will not daemonize is run with --debug. - - -version 2.5 Changes - -CHANGED - Updated basic help html files. - -spong-server - -ADDED - Code to handle purple colored service status files in the database. -The start of code to allow spong-server to handle old status as a real -status state.ADDED - Big Brother server emulation. The server can now -handle Big Brother Clients. The emulation is not 100% percent yet. The -client must be configured to use FQDN names. And the server can't handle -PAGE commands. -ADDED - Added new a type of SEND_MESSAGE rule: RED-CHANGE. The spong-server -will attempt to send out messages on any status transition to or from RED. -FIXED - Fixed problem with in save_acks with 2 acks bein created with-in -the same second. The second ack would overlay the first ack with the same -file name. - -spong-client -CHANGED - The old log scanning code is gone. There is a new Object Oriented -log scanning routine logmon. logmon monitors the log file by monitoring -the end of a file like "tail -f". Events are not reported over and over -again until he file is rotated or edited. They will be reported for a -specified period of time and then are discard. This does not work if -spong-client is run with --nosleep from a crontab. -ADDED - Added new OS specified get_swap routines to check swap space levels -in the disk checks. - -spong-network -CHANGED - Change the check routines to a new plug-in mechanism. New checks -can be added by writing a plug-in module and placing it in the plugin -directory. The new service can be used by referencing in the spong.host -file. spong-network will load the routine and it will be registered with -the plugin registry. -ADDED - Added a new escalation mechanism to guard against transiant network -problems. A RED status is not reported until a service for host has failed -a certain number of times. Otherwise it is reported as a YELLOW status. -CHANGED - Added a loop to &check_tcp to check a service 3 time before -reporting that it is down. This is guard against temporary network gliches. - -spong-message -ADDED - Added new rules based messaging. The new code is configured in the -new spong.message configuration file. The rules allow for host and service -based include and/or exclusion, along with version flexible time and day -selection. Multiple contacts can also be specified. - -spong-ack -FIXED - Replace unreliable getlog() call with getuserbyname($<) to get user -login name. -FIXED - Made sure to exit with a non-zero exit code on any errors. This is -to make it more script friendly. -CHANGED - Change options processing to use GetOpts modules for to simplifiy -checks. -ADDED - Added --batch parameter which forces program to print the ack. id -instead of the more verbose output. This is to make it more script friendly. -
