Forecast NagiosQL 3.1

rouven@nagiosql.org (Rouven Homann) — Wed, 12 May 2010 19:10:02 +0000

Slow progress is better than no progress. Martin is currently working every week to add or redesign parts of the code for NagiosQL 3.1. Something that will be changed for sure is the permission system, the complicated Key/Keyhole functions will be replaced by user and group permissions. You will be able to set group permissions to every object. Most of the time is currently spent on SSH/SCP functions that adds encrypted transfers to the distribution of configuration files. The pear module were are trying to use at the moment (makes it easier to install) seems to be very buggy though, but we are fighting to get something running until the release. Our well-known configuration file importer will be upgraded with the ability to import multiline configurations, which is working quite well at the moment. As a result to the community response, Martin has already implemented three popular wishes for NagiosQL 3.1: Nagios Exclude Flag, Apache Authentication, Icinga Support. There is more to come and much already implemented, but the NagiosQL 3.1 development stills needs time and hopefully in some weeks the first beta testers. We will let you know if we need your help to test the first pieces.

Server Maintenance

rouven@nagiosql.org (Rouven Homann) — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:09:59 +0000

Good day everyone, it became silent after the last release, but yes we are still here :) Martin is currently working on the 3.1.0 release which will support Icinga for sure and the NagiosQL Exclude Feature. There will be much more, but in this early stage of development I don't want to promise to much. Due to a provider change of our hosting sponsor cimt ag we will face some server outage. While DNS changes causing some trouble, I am also planning to migrate our systems to another Virtual Machine Architecture and another OS. So, there might be some troubles with the Website and the Demo System, but we will be back for sure.

Summerupdates

rouven@nagiosql.org (Rouven Homann) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 09:00:48 +0000

Summertime is ending in Europe and we are increasing our work on NagiosQL again. While Martin is still cleaning up some patches for the upcoming 3.0.4 release, I was upgrading our demo system to the latest SVN snapshot and also added Spanish and Portuguese (Brazil). In addition to this I have finished our NagiosQL Facebook Page with the help of Philipp and renamed my personal twitter to a NagiosQL Twitter. So if you like you can find us now on twitter (nagiosql) and facebook ;-)

NagiosQL on Debian Lenny

rouven@nagiosql.org (Rouven Homann) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:32:04 +0000

Ever having problems with the installation on Debian? Wolfgang Barth (author of the well known Nagios Book) created a Debian package for NagiosQL 3.0.3. Just add his repository to your archives and install NagiosQL via the apt package manager. A short installation howto helps you to add the repository and install NagiosQL via Debian. The original documentation is in german and available at Wolfgangs Blog. You will find everything you need including the link to the blog in the howto ;-)

NagiosQL 3.0.3 repacked!

rouven@nagiosql.org (Rouven Homann) — Wed, 20 May 2009 13:53:49 +0000

We are very sorry, but a typo slipped through my fingers and went into the NagiosQL 3.0.3 release. As reported by Diramos from Brazil this typo affects two database installation files. The issue is affecting all users starting with NagiosQL 3.0.3 a fresh new installation or users upgrading from NagiosQL 2 to NagiosQL 3.0.3. The issue is NOT affecting users upgrading from 3.0.x releases! Those affected, please download the package again and restart the Installation/Upgrade Process!

Sorry sorry sorry.

NagiosQL 3.0.3 Bugfix release

rouven@nagiosql.org (Rouven Homann) — Thu, 14 May 2009 10:21:00 +0000

NagiosQL 3.0.3 fixes several issues found in the previous release. We hope to have fixed most of the issues regarding the Installation Wizard and the Importer, so we could concentrate on NagiosQL 3.1.0 release, but we will see. With this release we also introduce you the Spanish translation of NagiosQL started by Ricard and finished by Damian.

We recommend to upgrade to this release as soon as possible.

Information about upgrading can be found in the Installation HowTo located at the install/doc Directory. For a complete list of changes read more...
