[Announce] M/Monit 2.0.2
by Jan-Henrik Haukeland 15 May '09

15 May '09

Hi everyone, We have just released M/Monit 2.0.2. You can download the new release from: http://mmonit.com/download/ Release information: -------------------- The changes in this release are mostly bug and stability fixes. We have also snuck in a few new features as well. Excerpt from the change log follows. * If you are upgrading from M/Monit 2.0 perform the following to upgrade the database: If you use SQLite: ./upgrade/upgrade-2.0-2.0.2.sqlite If you use MySQL:… [View More] cat ./upgrade/upgrade-2.0-2.0.2.mysql | \ mysql -u mmonit -p -D mmonit If you use Postgresql: cat ./upgrade/upgrade-2.0-2.0.2.postgresql | \ psql -U mmonit mmonit NEW FEATURES: * You can now change the name and description of host groups. * Quick delete added to admin page tables for hosts, users and rules. These tables have a new delete icon in the rightmost column and clicking on the icon deletes the table entry. This is a shortcut so you don't have to open the entry first to delete it. Thanks to Nicola Tiling for suggestion. * Added Monit version information to admin/hosts table. This allows you to quickly see which Monit version is running on each host. Thanks to Aleksander Kamenik for suggestion. * Increased skew rate for Monit agents from 2 to 3 cycles. * OpenBSD support added. * Updated all shared libraries to latest version. BUG FIXES: * Stability fixes. * Internal performance improvements in the connection pool driver for SQLite. The new changes makes SQLite scale much better and able to handle many more hosts. * Expanded host.platformrelease column in the database to allow for up to 100 characters. Some OS use a long release name which did not fit in the original 20 characters limit used in the database. M/Monit could refuse message from these hosts and not update the host status. Thanks to Aaron Scamehorn for report. * Increased read timeout from 3 seconds to 30 seconds when communicating with SMTP servers to allow for slow servers. * Fixed possible "Number format exception" error when trying to open host status or use host admin for monit hosts which were imported from older M/Monit versions. Thanks to Nicola Tiling for report. * Fix possible OpenSolaris crash. Thanks to Christoffer Torris Olsen for report. Future plans: ============= While this release focus on stability, the next release will focus on scalability. Before we start on all the cool new features we plan for M/Monit we want to ensure that M/Monit can easily be used with more than Monit 150-200 hosts. We also want to reduce the stress M/Monit can cause on the database server. If you monitor more than 10 hosts and run Monit on a low poll cycle it can increase the CPU load on the database server because each status report from Monit ends up in a database request. We plan to fix this by introducing an in-memory cache for host status which will make M/Monit scale much better and drastically reduce the need for database access. We are working on the 2.0.3 release now and we hope to have it available for you within a month.

Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce that M/Monit 2.0 has been released today and is now available. M/Monit 2.0 can be downloaded from: http://mmonit.com/download/ We are now officially out of the beta phase and this is the final 2.0 release. Judging from previous beta releases, it seems that we have a 2 month turnaround time for new releases. We'll try to continue with this frequency, at least this first year as we have plans for many new and useful features, both in M/Monit … [View More]and Monit. We'll keep you posted. A big, big thanks to all of you who have helped us test M/Monit during the beta phase and for giving us useful suggestions, feedback and ideas. This is highly appreciated! Release information: ==================== The changes in this release compared to the previous beta 7 are minor tweaks behind the scene and alignment of M/Monit events with Monit. There are a few database changes, and if you want to upgrade from M/ Monit beta 7, you can run an upgrade script for the database as explained in the change log: http://mmonit.com/dist/CHANGES We also provide a migrate script in the upgrade directory if you want to move over from SQLite to MySQL or PostgreSQL. This is recommended if you run Monit on more than 10 hosts, as SQLite can have scalability issues with more hosts. Monit: ====== With more than 50 new features and bug fixes, we are also happy to announce that Monit 5.0 is out of beta today and available from http://mmonit.com/monit/download/ M/Monit 2.0 requires this version of Monit.
