2013-12-17 Nagwin 2.0.1

• Nagwin 2.0.1 is a major maintenance release upgrading PHP binaries from 5.3.21 to 5.5.7 . Existing customers can download the latest version from their customer pages at www.itefix.net

2013-12-01 Nagwin 2.0.0

• Nagwin 2.0.0 is the first Nagwin package containing Nagios Core 4 binaries (4.0.2). As in earlier releases, we had to patch Nagios Core to handle external commands via a plain file based scheme, rather than pipes. In addition, all Nagwin services are now started by a new developed nagwin_service tool, solving some other challenges with the new process structure in Core 4. Nagwin 2.0.0 delivers Pnp4Nagios in bulk mode rather than the standard synchronous one, bringing performance gains for performance collection. Existing customers can download the latest version from their customer pages at www.itefix.net , and can upgrade their existing installation by simply running the installer even if it is a major upgrade. All services will be registered again. Configuration files etc/nagios/nagios.cfg and etc/nagios/nagwin/commands.cfg will be overwritten for proper operation. However, your old files will still be available with the extension .pre-200 .

2013-08-20 Nagwin 1.6.1

• Version 1.6.1 is a maintenance release containing the start web page with a proper version information, and the latest Cygwin binaries ( 1.7.24 ). Existing customers can download the latest version from their customer pages at www.itefix.net

2013-01-29 Nagwin 1.5.1

• Nagwin version 1.5.1 comes with two important bug fixes: check_nrpe plugin version 2.14 (linked to openssl 1.0.0 dll) and an improved version of the patch for external commands via plain files. Nagwin is now capable of processing multiple external commands in a batch. In addition, we have updated PHP to the latest version 5.3.21.

2013-01-13 Nagwin 1.5.0

• The Perl package included in Nagwin contains now the Net::SNMP module, making many plugins dependent on that module available in Nagwin environments.

Nginx has also the capability of giving some status information . Cygwin DLL is also updated to a newer version. We have also added a start menu link to start a Bash shell easily. There are also some plugin changes: Earlier versions of check_winping had to be customized on localized versions of Windows for proper operation. Nagwin has now an updated check_winping without any dependencies. Check_snmp is introduced as a new plugin, allowing you to monitor any SNMP source. As a consequence of this, we have now removed plugins check_snmp_printer and check_snmp_cisco from Nagwin distribution.

2011-01-27 Nagwin 1.0.1 with full Nagios Core support

• Nagwin 1.0.1 supports Nagios CGIs capable of producing images (Statusmap, Trends and Histogram). External Commands are also supported. That one required to implement a workaround: Named pipes are used extensively by Nagios for external command processing, while Cygwin has a limited and somewhat unstable support for named pipes. Nagwin 1.0.1 contains a patched Nagios using a one-plain-file-per-command approach for processing. Patches are available at the download location. In addition, Start menu has become more functional: Nagios services can be queried, started, stopped or resarted. You can also perform Nagios configuration checks. CPU plugins relying on Windows performance counters don’t report any values due to DLL conflicts. Nagwin contains a new check_pdm2 plugin producing correct values.
