Changelog for monit-doc-5.20.0-16.1.noarch.rpm :
Fri Nov 4 13:00:00 2016 liedkeAATTrz.uni-mannheim.de
- update to 5.20:
+ New: Added gzip compression support to the HTTP GUI.
+ New: Added gzip compression when communicating with M/Monit.
+ New: Added global set onreboot
statement which allows to set a default service startup
policy (the default is onreboot start).
+ New: Added new timeout options to the set limits statement:
+ New: The cpu, memory, swap, inode and space tests now allows
using decimal values when testing percent usage.
+ New: Set the HOME environment variable when executing program
as other user.
+ Fixed: CSRF vulnerability (CVE-2016-7067). (boo#1007455)
+ Fixed: A lot of bugs.
- update to 5.19:
+ New: Monit HTTP: support for IPv6 added.
+ New: Monit HTTP GUI: it is now possible to listen on both TCP
and unix sockets.
+ New: apache-status protocol test:
+ New: Added Basic Authentication support to the HTTP protocol test.
+ Fixed: A lot of bugs.
- update to 5.18:
+ New: Monit console commands now output text in tables and in
colors. Your terminal must support UTF-8 and colors. For
best rendering of tables, we recommend using a fixed width
font in your terminal such as Menlo for non-ascii fonts.
Please see this FAQ entry to learn how to setup your console
to support UTF-8 character encoding.
+ New: A new CLI command was added for succinct reporting and to make
it easy to query Monit from scripts: monit report [options].
Without option, prints a short overview of the state of all
services managed by Monit.
+ New: Environment variable MONIT_SERVICE was added to check program
scripts. The variable contains the name of the service
(from monitrc) for which the program is executed.
+ New: A new onreboot statement was added for controlling service
startup on reboot.
+ New: The old mode statement is reduced to active and passive. Where
active mode provides automatic restart of service on error,
while passive does not, and only provide alerts. Active mode
is the default mode. The third mode, manual, is deprecated
and replaced by onreboot laststate. The manual mode is still
supported for backward compatibility.
+ New: Test for checking system uptime. Can be used to test the uptime
of the system (boot time) and perform an action.
+ New: Added >= and <= as operators for use in comparison tests.
+ New: All errors will be listed if a service has multiple errors.
Previously, Monit displayed only the last error.
+ Fixed: A lot of bugfixes...
- update to 5.17.1:
+ Fixed: Monit crashed when trying to deliver alert by mail if monit
set alert was configured, but the set mail-format statement
was missing (regression in Monit 5.17).
- update to 5.17:
+ New: Extended the SMTP protocol test to support STARTTLS in addition
to SMTPS. Thanks to Robert Nelson for initial patch.
+ New: The SMTP protocol test can now, optionally, perform authentication
during testing. Just add username and password if you want to test
that authentication also works. We recommend using smtps if
authentication is to be performed to encrypt the communication.
+ New: Support extended e-mail format when specyfing from and reply-to
addresses. That is, instead of just the email address you can also
specify the name of the user.
+ New: A new environment variable MONIT_PROGRAM_STATUS was added to check
program to allow scripts called from exec to access the check programs
last exit status.
+ Fixed: The include statement now check if a file has already been included
to prevent circular or recursive inclusion of files.
+ Fixed: Reinitialize supplementary user groups in an exec action when
executing as a different user.
+ Fixed: The value in if changed checksum and if changed timestamp has been
made persistent across Monit restart/reload. If the value changes
while Monit is stopped, Monit will now notice.
+ Fixed: Related to Issue #316 above, we now also save file size, filesystem
flags, file/directory/fifo/filesystem permissions, network link speed
so the last known values will be persistent and if changed tests will
work as expected across a Monit restart/reload.
+ Fixed: favicon did not display properly in the Browser when Monit was behind
a reverse HTTP proxy.
+ Fixed: Monit CLI actions like monit monitor all could fail if you had more
than ~ 50 services in your config file.
+ Fixed: The send/expect protocol test returned error if the target server sent
more data than the buffer limit.
+ Fixed: On 32-bit platforms with more then 4GB of RAM, Monit reported incorrect
system and swap memory values (regression in Monit 5.16).
+ Fixed: Save state on exit when monit is executed in non-deamon mode.
- update to 5.16:
+ New: Added a new statement for overriding default limits used by Monit.
+ New: Issue #276: Allow specific source address for port and ping tests.
+ New: Issue #205: Enhanced process check with a new thread counts test.
+ New: Issue #280: Timestamp tests now reports both the old and the new
(changed) timestamp in alerts.
+ New: Issue #299: Show the last output of the program check when running
monit status from the console.
+ New: Issue #275: monit --version now shows the compile-time features that
were enabled at build time.
+ New: Issue #282: Added support for setting a custom URL path with
apache-status protocol test.
+ New: Changed responsetime for port and unixsocket tests to microseconds
precision.
+ New: Added support for DragonFly BSD. Thanks to Daniel Bilik.
+ Fixed: A lot of bugfixes
- update to 5.15:
+ New: Added a statement for setting global or local SSL/TLS options.
+ New: Added option to verify SSL server certificates.
+ New: Support SSL client certificate authentication for SSL connections.
+ New: To just connect using SSL/TLS without specifying a protocol, you can
now use SSL instead of the former type TCPSSL statement
(which is deprecated).
+ New: SSL certificate expiration test.
+ New: Extended SSL certificate fingerprint (checksum) test with the SHA1 hash
type in addition to the existing MD5 test.
+ New: Extended the ping test to optionally allow setting a packet size
(default is 64 bytes)
+ New: The ping tests now report network response time in milliseconds
rather than in seconds.
+ New: PAM and SSL support are now optional when building Monit RPM.
+ Fixed: The File content match test will move the read-cursor to the end
of the file the first time a file is added to Monit.
+ Fixed: Support for OpenSSL 0.9.8
+ Fixed: Abbreviated file permission error message (otherwise the message,
which was rather long, could get truncated in logs and become
unintelligible).
+ Fixed: Only add the User-Agent HTTP header if it is not already set.
Also allow single quotes in addition to double quotes around
header values.
+ Fixed: If a check host statement contains no if-tests, emit a more
comprehensible error message.
+ Fixed: Do not log \"Error reading pid from ...\" for non-process checks
on stop/restart.
+ Fixed: Monit could freeze for a period when performing a ping test.
+ Fixed: Do not cascade start action to dependant services if only parent
start was requested.
+ Fixed: Implement hard dependency between services. If a service depends
on another service, it will not start until the parent service
check returns no errors. For example, if Apache depends on MySQL,
Monit will not start Apache until MySQL is confirmed up and running
and passes all its tests. Previously, Monit would start MySQL,
but not wait for MySQL to be confirmed up and running before
it started Apache.
+ Fixed: The HTTP protocol test paused Monit for a few seconds if a
content match test was used and the server sent a response
using chunked encoding.
+ Fixed: Monit no longer exit if it fails to fork. This is debatable,
but for Monit\'s use-case we think it is better to try and continue.
+ Fixed: Monit leaked file descriptors if program execution failed.
Don\'t forget the shebang #! at the beginning of your script
+ Fixed: Monit stopped on reload if the control file did not end with
an empty newline.
+ Fixed: With OS X El Capitan, Apple introduced a new System Integrity
Protection policy (SIP) which, among other things, block the
system call, task_for_pid.We now check to see if SIP is enabled
and if it is, we do not call task_for_pid so as not to unnecessary
fill system logs with errors. This also means that Monit, on
El Capitan, can no longer check a process memory and CPU usage
as task_for_pid was needed to get this information.
+ Fixed: Executing a command with a timeout larger than 2147 seconds would
fail on 32-bit systems.
+ Fixed: Mask out SSLv3_client_method() in case SSLv3 support is not available
+ Fixed: SSL SNI is optional, so do not log as error if not supported by server
+ Fixed: SSL client certificate authentication with Monit\'s HTTP interface
+ Fixed: Access to resources via secondary group membership when executing a
program with a different UID
+ Fixed: Slow start/stop/restart/monitor/unmonitor actions on FreeBSD
- update to 5.14:
+ New: Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), ECDH ciphers and
disable IDEA ciphers on Monit HTTP interface if TLS/SSL is used.
+ New: Simpler system-wide cpu usage test (total of user%, system%, wait%).
+ New: Added options for the command-line commands monit status and monit
summary to only print status for a named service or a named service group.
+ New: Log client address in case of HTTP request errors
+ New: Report Monit version in the start/stop (instance) message
+ Fixed: MySQL test might produce \"HOST blocked because of too many connection errors\".
- update to 5.13:
+ New: Added support for free space and free inodes monitoring as an
inverse alternative to current space/inodes consumption monitoring.
Both forms, with absolute number of bytes and with percent are supported.
+ New: Added support for Server Name Indication to support testing connection to
name based virtual SSL servers.
+ Security: SSL/TLS compression has been disabled, as well as RC4 and DES ciphers.
+ Fixed: Monit will no longer try to check hostnames on start-up to start faster,
in case DNS is not available at start time.
+ Fixed: Filesystem uid, gid and permission as reported by monit status command.
+ Fixed: If the monit CLI command failed, the error description could contain
HTML in addition to plaintext.
+ Fixed: RPM will now preserve an existing monitrc configuration file on update.
+ Fixed: OS X system memory usage statistics included wrongly inactive memory
(i.e. memory that is available for reuse).
+ Fixed: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD: System memory usage statistics did not
include the wired part (kernel memory).
- update to 5.12.2:
+ Fixed: Monit could freeze if an error occurred during SSL read or write.
+ Fixed: If Monit was started with the HTTP interface disabled, the CLI could
crashed when executing a command.
+ Fixed: Network check: support for IP alias [Linux and Solaris]
- update to 5.12.1:
+ New: Allow selecting IPv4 or IPv6 explicit for port and ping tests.
+ Fixed: The Upstart script needed to stop Monit earlier in the
shutdown sequence when the system stops to prevent a
possible race conditions
+ Fixed: Monit may crash if the hostname of the system failed to resolve.
+ Fixed: UDP connection test could fail on a dual-stack host
(IPv4 and IPv6) if the UDP service listens on IPv4 only.
+ Fixed: Only show first line of program output in the Monit dashboard.
+ Fixed: Monit skipped the connection test if no start program was specified.
- update to 5.12:
+ New: Support for IPv6 hosts testing.
+ New: Monit HTTP interface now supports Unix Socket as an
alternative to TCP port for easier deployment on virtualization
platforms which share the IP address for containers, such
as Docker. Thanks to Alberto Miorin for suggesting this feature.
+ New: The space usage test now ignore reserved blocks. Previously,
Monit excluded reserved blocks from the free space, so it
reported 100% usage as soon as all non-super user accessible
blocks were allocated, whereas the filesystem may still
have some space available for root user (usually 1-5%).
The space usage test value will now match the output of utilities
like df.
+ New: File permission change test added. Thanks to Ulrich
Windl for suggesting this feature.
+ New: Support for multiple existence tests (in process, file,
directory and fifo check contexts)
+ New: Support for multiple fsflag tests (in filesystem
check context):
+ New: Monit\'s HTTP interface now provides even more
details about failed HTTP requests
+ Fixed: Fix speed monitoring for 10Gb/s+ interfaces [Linux]
+ Fixed: Network total upload and download values could be invalid
for certain time frames.
- update to 5.11:
+ New: Monit now supports monitoring of network interfaces.
+ New: Sieve protocol test implemented.
+ New: The PID and PPID change tests are no longer implicit and
automatically executed.
+ New: Multiple PID and PPID tests can now be used.
+ Fixed: The CLI/GUI reported port timeout value in milliseconds
instead of seconds.
+ Fixed: Changed memory kilobytes total title to memory
total as the unit is dynamic since Monit 5.9.
+ Fixed: OpenBSD: don\'t narrow the 64-bit time_t on 32-bit
build (Y2038 problem).
+ Fixed: If the the test is on hold due to the every option
schedule, display last status instead of Waiting.
+ Fixed: If ping is not allowed (insufficient permissions),
display value as N/A instead of negative response time.
+ Fixed: If the not every option matched, the test
was skipped only once per minute.

Wed Jul 30 14:00:00 2014 sfalkenAATTopensuse.org
- update to 5.8.1:

* Changed all /var/run to /run to fix rpmlint check failure in Factory

* Added: monit-5.8.1.tar.gz

* Deleted: monit-5.6.tar.gz
monit-page_shift.patch as new version deprecates it

* Updated: monit-better_default_monitrc.patch

Wed Sep 4 14:00:00 2013 pascal.bleserAATTopensuse.org
- update to 5.6:

* SMTP AUTH LOGIN support added (MS Exchange SMTP authentication should now
work)

* favicon.ico added to the HTTP interface

* Bugfixes:
- If an undefined checksum test was used and the file did not exist on
Monit start, Monit would return an error
- If the configuration file ended with a comment but with no trailing LF
character, Monit would return syntax error
- If a service timed out after too many restarts and alert was used as the
action, then the Timeout flag remained set even if the service recovered

- Escape XML messages properly

Wed Jun 5 14:00:00 2013 larsAATTsamba.org
- update to 5.5.1:

* Info and debug messages are no longer sent to stderr, only to stdout.

* Improved output from \'check program\', If the program returns an error
message, include only that message in alert $DESCRIPTION so users can
compose their own alert format. If program provided no output on
error, use a default message.

* Improved \"check system\", $HOST can now be used as a service name.
$HOST will expand to the system hostname. Example: check system $HOST

* Fixed \"Unable to read magic\" which was reported on first Monit start.

Tue Mar 12 13:00:00 2013 poelzleithnerAATTb1-systems.de
- use relative path for dirname in init script. dirname is not
longer in /bin, therefor the init script is broken

Sun Nov 4 13:00:00 2012 larsAATTsamba.org
- update to 5.5:

* check program:
- Multiple exit values can be tested within single program check
- Exit value test supports multiple cycles option (\"for X cycles\")
- If exit value test matches and the stderr has no data, try stdout

* Renamed mail header (message-id and mime-version) to prevent
triggering spam check of capitalization.

* The \'check system \' statement sets the system hostname in mail
alerts and initial hostname in M/Monit.

* Increase the default mailserver timeout to 30 seconds.

* Fix the rare hung on linux which may occur during program execution.

* In the case that the process start/restart execution failed, monit kept
\"Execution failed\" flag even if the process was recovered later (for
example it was starting slowly or manually recovered).

* Fix the mail alert (strict SMTP implementation) to pass MTA-side sanity
checks like postscreen.

* The -t option tests the configuration file syntax even if the
file permissions are wrong.

* Do not display the default non-existence test for the check
program (not applicable in the check program context).

Fri May 18 14:00:00 2012 larsAATTsamba.org
- update to 5.4:

* New process uptime test added.

* The monit hostname will fallback to plain machine\'s hostname if the lookup
for FQDN hostname didn\'t found matching entry.

* The CPU usage for multi-threaded processes on multi-core machine was
reported incorrectly in the case that the process used more CPU resources
then equivalent to one core.

* The content match test now sends one event per cycle and pattern.

* The /proc/ files content match test was skipped, as the file size on the
procfs is 0, so monit supposed that there is no content to read.

* Allow reading status and perform Monit actions when using client SSL
certificate.

* When the process is starting/stopping, do the process state check more
effectively to not stress the low power devices with aggresive polling.

* Make the process start/stop wait resistant to large time changes.

* Compilation: If PAM is enabled but the PAM headers or library are not
found by the configure script, it will report error.
- BuildRequire pam-devel.

- license update: AGPL-3.0
My mistake - there is no entry for AGPL-3.0+ on spdx.org/licenses. The
only available one is AGPL-3.0 (without the plus)

Wed Feb 29 13:00:00 2012 cfarrellAATTsuse.com
- license update: AGPL-3.0+
monit is AGPL-3.0 _not_ GPL-3.0

Wed Jan 25 13:00:00 2012 pascal.bleserAATTopensuse.org
- fix bnc#743289 by adding monit-dirs.patch to set the PIDDIR accordingly to
what is preset in the monitrc configuration (and in the spec file), as well
as to fix the default event directory

Wed Dec 21 13:00:00 2011 pascal.bleserAATTopensuse.org
- update to 5.3.2:

* fix bug #34801: the file content match test did reset of the read position
in the case that the unmonitor or stop action was done. When the file
monitoring was enabled again, the content match test was applied to the
content which was tested already.

* log error details in the case that the name resolving failed

* fix the system cpu usage statistics when pattern based process check is
used and the service is restarted

* Debian Bug#652715: \"include files not found\" warning: do not display the
warning if the include directory is empty
- create /var/run/monit in the init script on start (if needed), as /var/run is
on a volatile filesystem (tmpfs) since 12.1

Tue Dec 13 13:00:00 2011 cooloAATTsuse.com
- fix license to be in spdx.org format

Wed Nov 30 13:00:00 2011 pascal.bleserAATTopensuse.org
- fixes to init script and configuration file for state file
- fix installation routine on >= 12.1: directories under /var/run are now
created at installation time, as /var/run is on tmpfs on >= 12.1
- minor packaging improvements, including the use of the pristine upstream
tarball instead of a recompressed one (better traceability)

Fri Nov 4 13:00:00 2011 pascal.bleserAATTopensuse.org
- add some better defaults:

* set mailserver to localhost

* set alert recipient to rootAATTlocalhost

* enable event queue in /var/run/monit/events

* move id and state files to /var/run/monit/

Tue Oct 25 14:00:00 2011 pascal.bleserAATTopensuse.org
- update to 5.3.1:

* log the particular connection attempt failure in debug mode when the retry
is enabled

* Monit can deliver events and status to independent M/Monit instances if
multiple mmonit URLs are set

* fixed: the ICMP echo (ping) test may report false positive error if the
machine where Monit is running has heavy ICMP traffic generated by other
applications

* fixed: the file content match test will be performed even on the existing
content when Monit starts; the last position is saved to the statefile, so
monit won\'t generate alert after restart; note that when you start the
monit 5.3.1 the first time, it can do actions for content match which was
handled by previous monit version already as the previous monit versions
didn\'t saved the position

* make the monitoring state persistent for manual mode services

* display the memory usage total % in the status overview; the memory usage
in kB displayed the total already, so the percentage didn\'t match

* fix the HTML overview page alignment in the Internet Explorer

* fix sporadic SSL routines:func(169):reason(161) errors

* if MySQL protocol test failed, report the correct MySQL error code
- changes from 5.3.0:

* new \'check program\' statement added: allows to check the exit status of an
external program or script from Monit

* added crontab style support for individual services; you can now specify
when an individual service should run its checks (or not run)

* connection retry option added: allows to retry a network connection in the
same testing cycle before reporting an error

* detailed protocol connection errors are now included in alerts

* the HTML overview page displays the CPU and memory total now (including
children), so real service related usage is displayed also for services
which spawn worker processes, such as Apache or Spamassassin

* HTML view improvements

* fix MySQL protocol test: MySQL 5.5.12 returns new error code in the case of
authentication failure

* the stacktrace logging on error is disabled in -v (verbose) mode as it was
too verbose for common service debugging tasks, it can be enabled using -vv
option

* improve how fast Monit check if a program was started or stopped

* fix the monitoring state presentation during service restart which
temporarily displayed \"Not monitored\", whereas the monitoring was enabled

* the \"data collected\" is updated only if the check was not skipped

Tue Mar 29 14:00:00 2011 pascal.bleserAATTopensuse.org
- update to 5.2.5:

* fix process match check - when the monitored process failed and was
restarted by Monit, Monit didn\'t recognized it is running after the restart
and reported start failure (similar on stop)

* fix Debian #617259: symbolic links in the filesystem check doesn\'t work

* fix Debian bug #614984: smtp protocol test issues both EHLO and HELO

* fix bug #32583: multiple SIP OPTIONS messages use the same header data

* try harder to get FQDN hostname for the host where monit is running; the
hostname in the $HOST variable which is used in the mail sender may thus
change

* support symbolic link to monit configuration file

* fix crash when monit daemon start delay option was used and monit was
signalized to stop before the start delay passed

Mon Mar 21 13:00:00 2011 cooloAATTnovell.com
- licenses package is about to die

Tue Feb 22 13:00:00 2011 pascal.bleserAATTopensuse.org
- update to 5.2.4:

* added the \"procmatch\" CLI command which allows for easy testing of pattern
for process match check

* set the default log file mask to 0640 (originally it was 0664)

* reduced monit memory footprint by ca. 10%.

* fix memory usage monitoring in OpenVZ VPS 2.6.32 virtual hosts

* if the protocol test failed, show the request in the event

* randomize the mail message id to prevent duplicates in the case, that the
same hostname is used on multiple hosts running monit and messages are
generated in the same second in parallel

Thu Sep 23 14:00:00 2010 pascal.bleserAATTopensuse.org
- fixed typo in init script, \"description\" -> \"Description\"
- added missing dependency on $remote_fs in init script
- dropped monit-no_strip.patch, as upstream doesn\'t forcibly strip symbols any more
- /var/run/monit is now created at runtime, in order to work properly if /var/run is on tmpfs
- documentation split out into -doc subpackage
- update to 5.2:
+ new features:

* added support for monitoring processes without pidfile using pattern matching

* added support for swap monitoring

* allow to override the default action when service doesn\'t exist

* Monit automatically registers credentials with M/Monit now, so it\'s not necessary to set it manually in M/Monit anymore

* added memcache protocol test

* added openssl FIPS to Monit httpd

* the \'check system\' can now use start/stop program statements too

* added the option to set the \"Reply-To\" mail header in mail-format

* display backtrace on error if debug mode is enabled (requires backtrace support in libc)
+ bugfixes:

* show real process uptime - formerly the presented uptime was based on create and modify timestamp of process\' pidfile which provides invalid uptime if the pidfile is replaced and process keeps running with original PID

* when user triggered action for some service (such as stop) and before that action completed user triggered another action for the same service (such as start), the second action has been ignored. Monit will not accept new action and return temporary error until the previous action completed

* if process resource usage gathering failed, retry next cycle as the error can be temporary

* fixed sporadic failures when SSL was used

* ICMP echo test (ping):
- fixed sporadic false positive/negative
- removed limit of 20 pings per cycle

* DNS test:
- accept NS root request refusal as correct response because server reacts on request
- accept authority answer as alternative to record

* RADIUS test fix

* M/Monit heartbeat is fully independent of testing cycle now to prevent false positive when service test blocks

* fixed SMTP STARTTLS protocol, required for servers that adhere strictly to RFC 3207 4.2

* service name:
