Upcoming NagiosQL 3.2.0

If you have recently read our forum, you may have noticed that we have canceled NagiosQL 3.1.2 development, because Martin just finished the development of NagiosQL 3.2.0. Starting with the development of 3.2 I was also leaving the active development of NagiosQL due to lack of time, but I will still be active in the project with other tasks in the project organization. So Martin deserves the full credits of NagiosQL 3.2.0 - Thank you! I don't want to bore you too much with internal details, so let's get back to the upcoming release as we have some long waited features to present. Most important, the release date is fix and it will be March, 12th 2012. Martin is just doing some code cleanup and waiting for the translators to get their work done. Incomplete translations won't be included in NagiosQL 3.2.0. For the time being it will be only English, German, Danish and Portuguese. Please check our Translation website if you might be able to help us finishing other languages until 8th, March 2012.

NagiosQL 3.2.0 contains many bugfixes but also some new features:

• Beginning with NagiosQL 3.2 we are using enabled or disabled objects without setting the nagios register parameter to avoid conflicts.
• The HTML issues should be fixed too, as it was time to rework the HTML code and some CSS (e.g. to fix the scroll bars in IE).
• We also added user settings besides global settings. It will be possible to set the language or the default domain individually for each user.
• The installation wizard has gone another round again and was also reworked by Martin.
• For anyone still having problems with NagiosQL there will be an integrated support page with more detailed system and requirement checks.
• Fitting a hole, the upcoming release also supports Servicegroups for dependencies and escalations.
• Domains are now separated between data and configuration sets.
• Configuration names are now stored as a comment variable inside each configuration file.
• Fixed the service selection for service dependencies and escalations
• Fixed the permission management (e.g. menu access & read permissions for each object)

Hope you will like it. Prepare your servers and if you can, help us finishing the translations as already mentioned above.

NagiosQL German Screencast

The youtube user 4b42 released a nice german screencast in HD about the installation of NagiosQL. As I said it's in german only, but nevertheless a good explanation for all german users having problems with the first steps in NagiosQL. If you know of more of those helpful resources, please let us know.
