Icinga Director v1.11.0
Icinga Director v1.11 ships a nice new feature, which has been requested by
many users: it is now possible to let Notification rules pick User and/or User
Groups from Host and Service custom variables.
Behind the scenes, some Icinga DSL assures that Icinga behaves as expected:
The IcingaDB module is now supported. This release also ships a fallback template
for Icinga for Windows 1.11 (and Icinga 2.14). To improve security for those
relying on default settings, all Host templates are per default rendered to all
non-global zones in a redundant way, instead of being rendered to the main global
zone.
For those who want to store Secrets in their Host template definitions, this now
hinders them from reaching your Agent Endpoints. In addition to this, with this
release you now have more control over target Zones for services belonging to
Service Sets. Also, some issues related to permissions and restrictions have been
addressed.
Various little Import and Sync issues have been addressed, automated Service
Template import has been fixed. In addition to some minor Property modifier
improvements, they can now be applied in a conditional way. Such filter rules
also support CIDR notation. Most prominent use-case: as vSphereDB now ships ALL
guest IP addresses, you can pick specific addresses for specific use-cases /
host properties based on their network range:
This release now officially supports PHP 8.2, addresses issues when integrating
with the IcingaDB web module, and some dark-mode glitches. Search functionality
has been improved, Preview Diff shows more details, editing multiple single
Services with the very same name has been fixed, and the interactive Startup log
renderer now wraps log lines in a nice way:
Performance has greatly been improved for those, who trigger a lot of single API
requests, instead of relying on Import/Sync mechanism. Our template usage overview
now also summarizes and links objects used in Services belonging to Service Sets:
Commands can now be cloned with their field definitions, and custom variables
from set_if flags make now part of the "suggested fields" list.
In addition to major refactoring and technical improvements related to our
configuration baskets, it's now also possible to upload additional snapshots for
existing baskets:
Speaking of baskets, they have been reworked in a way giving especially Icinga
Partners and Plugin authors more control over related objects. As UUIDs are now
supported in Baskets too, it is for example possible to rename an object with a
new Basket Snapshot.
