New Features

SPLEX-947 - Improved self monitoring services DISK and CPU by system relevant information

  • Old plugin output

  • New plugin output

SPLEX-948 - HTTPS support for SMS gateways

  • SMS delivery is based on HTTP. If your gateway is a SONARPLEX NG device configured for https, you have to specify a full-fledged URL, for example:
    https://192.168.21.222 or
    https://192.168.21.222:443
  • Otherwise addresses are treated as http urls, therefore 192.168.21.222 or 192.168.21.222:80 are sufficient and interpreted as http://192.168.21.222 or http://192.168.21.222:80 
  • If your device is a Brevis.1 SMS Gateway, URL might look like follows
    http://192.168.21.222/api.php?username=%USERNAME%&password=%PASSWORD%&mode=number&to=%TO%&text=%TEXT% 

SPLEX-951 - Generic COUNTER Support for numeric values

  • Counters are defined in RFC 2578.
  • A counter has no defined initial value, so a single reading of such a value has no information content. An example of this would be the number of packets received on an ethernet interface. If you take a reading and get back 4 million packets, you haven't learned anything. But if you take a second reading, one minute later, you have valueable information about number of packages received per minute.
  • Support for SNMP counters has been implemented by plugins check_snmp and check_snmp_extended like follows:
  • Argument Regexp to search for, usually designed for string values, have been extended to hold keyword COUNTER. In this case numeric raw value will be treated as counter and changed as difference against last known raw value and regular plugins check_snmp or check_snmp_extended can be used for bandwidth monitoring.
    Sample configuration:



  • Furthermore azeti SDK has been extended by function azetiSDK::GetCounterProgress(), therefore new option can be used from within other plugins as well.
