Issues and PRs

Notes

This beta release has reworked the entire handling on how thresholds and the checker core operate. For that reason, the Beta-1 release will not include the Metrics over Time feature. The goal of this beta is to get an idea if the threshold handling is working as expected and evaluate the performance gains for the new check handling. The Metrics over Time feature will be re-implemented with an entire new background task and configurations in Beta-2.

Issues and PRs

Bugfixes

• #718 Fixes Icinga repository JSON validator to report the correct state of the validation status, in case the JSON is not valid
• #722 Fixes leading \ for the service binary path and directory, which results in wrong behavior while using the same shell on which the initial installation was made
• #724 Fixes icingaforwindows.pfx creation in case another certutil is installed on the system and being available in the PATH environment
• #725 Fixes Icinga for Windows certificate handling by keeping the .pfx file on the system as created, without using the certificate store. Also fixes handling for providing thumbprints for certificates, which are now loaded directly from the certificate store by also providing a new filter mechanic to fetch the proper certificates from the store
