[mrtg] mrtg-2.9.0pre14 is out ... NT path issues fixed

Fri Aug 4 21:25:41 MEST 2000

Folks,

I think now those path issues with nt are fixed ... (using \ in
regular expressions is a bit tricky ... \Q and \E come to the
resque)

Any how you can get the latest pre release from the website
and give it a beating ... 

I want to hear some happy voices ... :-)

As always it is avaliable from

cheers

Changes 2.9.0pre14
--------------------------------
From: Rainer Bawidamann <Rainer.Bawidamann at rz.uni-ulm.de>
 - more flexible config parsing functionality added to
   MRTG_lib.pm in preparation for a better configurable
   14all.cgi due out soon.

From: Tobo
 - fixed NT path issues ... backslash is a bitch in re ... needed to
   put some \Q and \E in to fix things ... (I am amazed it did run at
   all befor this hmmm.

From: Curtis Doty <Curtis at GreenKey.net>
 - fixes some install errors in Makefile.in

From: Thomas Brian Granier <BrianG at zebec.net>
 - NT verion wanted to create "zip" instead for "gif" fixed

----pre13------------

From: Tobi
 - reworked directory[x]: and general path issues with
   mrtg ... maybe it works now ... 

 - default graph format for NT is gif (until someone submits a
   rateup.exe which is compiled with a recent gd)

 - fixed bug in confcache code which prevented proper matching
   of non ifnum targets

 - modified parsing rules for EXEC targets, COMMUNITY
   and DESCRIPTION ... 
   EXEC backticks can be used inside when escaped like this: \`
   COMMUNITY space and @ can be used like this \@ and "\ "
   DESCRIPTION space and : can be used with "\ " and "\:"
   in all other combinations the \ has no special significance

----pre12------------

From: Tobi
 - made SNMPv2c queriing work ... the target parser did not properly
   see :::::2

----pre11------------
From: Tobi
 - fixed target nameing in cfgmaker
 - fixed 'no workdir' error in mrtg
 - fixed populateconfcache for setups with communities other than 'public'

----pre10------------
From: Tobi
 - fixed cfgmaker man page to use " for --global delimiters
   as NT seems to have no clue on '.
 - added hint on escaping ! to the indexmaker manual
 - added mrtg version to documentation pages

----pre9------------

From: Tobi
 - fixed RunAsDaemon Code ... target array should not get deleted
   between runs.
 - fixed mrtg target parser for If number 0 case ... 

----pre8------------
From: Curtis Doty <Curtis at GreenKey.net>      
 - fixes for Makefile install routine

From: Simon Barnes <barnes at gatwick.Geco-Prakla.slb.com>
 - fix to test for validty of results from data returned
   by 'external' targets.It was inverted.

From: Tobi
 - added missing semi colon to indexmaker
 - added requirement for perl 5.005 to indexmaker and cfgmaker
 - added part of the PodParser module so that things work
   with perl 5.005

From: Alex
 - spell fixes for unix-guide.pod, forum.pod, contrib.pod

----pre7------------
From: Rainer Bawidamann <Rainer.Bawidamann at rz.uni-ulm.de>
 - contrib / version 1.0p16 of 14all.cgi

From: Benoit Artuso <benoit at proxad.net>
 - images did not get generated in the correct place with the 'directory' option

From: Tobi
 - converted all documentation to pod format and added several new
   chapters ...

 - created new mrtg homepage which links all available documentation online

 - created new installation guides for unix and nt

 - complete overhaul of the target parser (NOTE: it is NOT
   a horrible Hack any more ... look at the code (tobi is proud)

 - along with the target parser I also replaced all the snmpget logic.

 - calling Interfaces by ifNumber, Ethernet Address, IP Number
   or Description are all neatly integrated in the code. No more
   Horrible Hacks. Along with data polling, the Interface nubmers
   get double checked. If a reconfiguration occures, mrtg automatically
   gets the new configuration from the router. 

 - MRTG does *NOT* notice config changes on Interface Numbers anymore.
   This means if you have devices which change interface numbering
   do not call the interfaces into the mrtg.cfg by number but rather
   by Description or by Ip.

 - added new debug facility to mrtg. Different debug levels can now be called
   by name. Check the beginning of the script.

 - when using rrdtool, mrtg now also deals with *UNKNOWN* and non integer
   values.

 - extracted some functionality of mrtg into an external module called
   MRTG_lib.pm. This module is now used by cfgmaker and indexmaker. For
   indexmaker this means that it uses the same cfg parsing engine as mrtg
   proper.

 - over all about 30% of mrtg got replaced by brand new and rather clean
   code.   

 - complete rewrite of cfgmaker ... try cfgmaker --help for instructions
   cfgmaker can now produce config files with interface identification by
   Number, Ip, Description and Ethernet Address

 - complete rewrite of indexmaker ... the old code was broken beyond reason.
   options are different in the new indexmaker. Use indexmaker --help for help.

 - added RRDs detection to configure script (--with-RRDs can be used to
   set a path explicitly

----pre6------------
From: Tobi
 - added automatic OS detection ... no more editing mrtg
 - better isolation of graphics format ... ${main::GRAPHFMT}

 - fixed infinite loop for workdir configs
 - added $! to most open calls for better error reporting
