This page lists the major changes between releases

• Added push notifications for IOS devices

• Fixed issue where interfaces inheriting default threshold values did not have the threshold set correctly, when using check_snmp_interfaces_cascade
• 'Edit host configuration' context menu link has been fixed to use the CONFIGUREHOSTS access
• Link to the auditlog on reload page no longer appears upon successful reload
• Fixed issue with non-authenticated user requesting access limited user menus

• Dashboard performance improvements of over 20% for common operations on Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Our optimisations resulted in less benefit for Internet Explorer users, resulting in similar performance to the Opsview 4.1.0 release.

• Fixed a potential issue resulting in multiple 'opsview_master_slave_connection' processes on slave
• Fixed dashboard database installation issue when upgrading from Opsview 3.X to Opsview 4.1
• Fixed dashboard incorrect handling of timezone in performance graph dashlet
• Fixed installation errors raised due to over aggressive permission changes for Nagvis files
• Fixed Nagvis configuration issues because of Opsview banner
• Fixed the check_apache_performance plugin, where metric returns 0 as value

• You will need to reload the dashboard application following an upgrade of Opsview
• Opsview Web does not install new monitor packs on start - use install_all_opspacks command line utility
• Renamed install_monitor_pack to install_opspack and create_monitor_pack to create_opspack
• Upgrades to ODW and Runtime database schemas may take some time
• In ODW, the seconds_unacknowledged calculation is different, so values from the upgrade onwards will not be compareable with historical values
• Solaris upgrades require installation of CSWlibgif4 otherwise will get failures when starting Opsview Web
• Internet Explorer users are advised to use versions 8 or 9 for the best Dashboard experience
• Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) is no longer supported

• New dashboard capabilities:
  • Process map dashlet
  • Top issues dashlet
  • Top metrics dashlet
  • The ability for an administrator to share dashboards with other users
  • Auto switching between dashboards
  • Performance improvements
• Improved VMWare monitoring
• Ability to submit results for multiple services in a non-OK state

• SSH tunnels to slaves now re-establish faster when switching masters in HA environments
• Ability to configure forward and reverse SSH tunnels individually for each slave cluster
• New REST API functionality for setting status: POST /status/service
• Store downtimes and acknowledgements in statehistory table. Upgrades may take a few minutes for schema changes
• REST API for events now contains additional acknowledgement and downtime information
• Small improvement to ndo2db when querying for objects
• ODW now holds seconds_unhandled and seconds_unhandled_hard calculations for every service every hour
• import_runtime creates a staging table for calculation of the service_availability_hourly_summary table. This increases the amount of disk space required at import time with the tradeoff of a faster import. The amount of space required is about an hour's worth of event data
• New REST API parameter when searching performance metrics: collapse_multiple_services, so multiple services are only returned once
• REST API for performance data now returns summarised information on 95th percentile and standard deviation
• Allow ndo.dat to be moved more easily
• You can no longer edit a contact's username through the web UI, as this affects 3rd party systems (dashboard, reporting module, Nagvis)
• Dashboard upgrades will include a backup of the dashboard database before upgrading the schema
• NSCA password can now be configured separately in opsview.conf. New installs will generate a random password

• Fixed order of custom.css to allow overriding of CSS classes
• A fresh install of opsview-perl on Debian/Ubuntu platforms now creates the nagios user's home directory correctly
• Fixed Solaris opsview-base postinstall error 'die: not found'
• Fixed time jump logic to take account of the threshold for both forward and reverse jumps
• Fixed nightly backup attempt of lost+found in /usr/local/nagios
• Fixed fresh debian install with Nagvis permissions for www-data
• Changed logging of start_slaves in opsviewd to debug level
• Fixed dashboard.user table so that names are now based on the Opsview user's name, rather than id
• Dashboard database is now backed up as part of daily backups
• Fixed audible alerts in events view
• Fixed net-snmp-perl requirement on RedHat
• Fixed drag/drop changing delete button in host groups, service groups and monitoring servers pages
