Fixed Issues and Improvements

• You can find issues and feature requests related to this release on our roadmap

Summary:

• Added new performance data output for certain plugins
• Added smart service check handling which will by default lookup all services which should be started automatically and throw critical if some are not running and exited not with exit code 0
• Increased the performance of certain plugins
• Fixed smaller display issues, framework compatibility and wrong output data

Update Notes

• If you installed the previous RC versions of the Plugins, you will have to generate the Icinga Director Basket configuration again and re-import the newly generated JSON file. Please be aware that because of possible changes your old custom variables containing arguments and thresholds might not apply due to new custom variable naming and handling. Please ensure to have a backup of your Icinga Director before applying any changes
