Please make sure to always read our [Upgrading](05-Upgrading.md) documentation
|
||||
before switching to a new version.
|
||||
|
||||
1.4.0
|
||||
-----
|
||||
### New requirements
|
||||
* Icinga Director now requires PHP 5.4, support for 5.3 has been dropped
|
||||
* For best performance we strongly suggest PHP 7
|
||||
* When using MySQL, please consider slowly moving to at least version 5.5. One
|
||||
of our next versions will introduce official Emoji support 😱😱😱! That's not
|
||||
possible with older MySQL versions. However, 1.4.x still supports 5.1.x
|
||||
|
||||
### Dashboard and Dashlets
|
||||
* Multiple new Dashboards have been introduced, their layout has been optimized
|
||||
* Dashboards are made aware of newly introduced permissions and try to provide
|
||||
useful hints
|
||||
|
||||
### GUI, UX and Responsiveness
|
||||
* Many little improvements related to mobile devices have been applied to
|
||||
Dashboards, Forms and Tables
|
||||
* Search has been both improved and simplified. On most tables search spawns
|
||||
multiple columns, visible and invisible ones. Multiple search terms are
|
||||
combined in an intuitive way.
|
||||
* Pagination (and search) has been added to those tables where it was still
|
||||
missing
|
||||
* Some form fields referencing related objects are no longer static drop-down
|
||||
selection elements but offer suggestions as you type. This makes forms faster,
|
||||
especially in larger environments
|
||||
* Navigation has been simplified, redirects after form submissions have been
|
||||
improved, more possibilities to jump to related objects have been added
|
||||
* Form field description has been moved to the bottom of the screen. Might be
|
||||
easier to overlook this way, but while the former implementation was great
|
||||
for people navigating forms with their Keyboard, it was annoying for Mouse
|
||||
lovers
|
||||
* Double-Click a Tab to enlarge it to full width
|
||||
* Action Link bar has been unified, all links should now respect permissions
|
||||
* All tables showing historic data are now grouped by day
|
||||
* Property Modifiers, Sync Rules, Import Sources and more objects now offer
|
||||
description fields. This allows you to explain your colleagues all the magic
|
||||
going on behind the scenes
|
||||
|
||||
### Object Types
|
||||
* Service Sets got quite some tweaking and bug fixing
|
||||
* Groups of all kinds are now able to list their members, even when being
|
||||
applied based on filters
|
||||
* Command Argument handling has been improved
|
||||
* Cloning Hosts now allows to also optionally clone their Services and Service
|
||||
Sets
|
||||
|
||||
### Templates
|
||||
* The template resolver has been rewritten, is now easier to test, strict and
|
||||
faster
|
||||
* Template Tree has been re-written and now also immediately shows whether a
|
||||
template is in use
|
||||
* When navigating to a Template you'll notice a new usage summary page showing
|
||||
you where and how that specific template is being used. Therefor, many tables
|
||||
are now internally able to filter by inheritance
|
||||
|
||||
### Template Choices
|
||||
* While Host- and Service-Templates are powerful building blocks, having to choose
|
||||
from a single long list might become unintuitive as this list starts growing.
|
||||
That's where Template Choices jump in. They allow you to bundle related Templates
|
||||
together and offer your users to choose amongst them in a meaningful way.
|
||||
|
||||
### Apply rules
|
||||
* Various related issues have been addressed
|
||||
* A new virtual "is true / is set" operator is now available
|
||||
|
||||
### Permissions and Restrictions
|
||||
* It is now possible to limit access to Hosts belonging to a a list of Hostgroups.
|
||||
This works also for Hostgroups assigned through Apply Rules.
|
||||
* Data List entries can be made available based on Roles
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Types
|
||||
* SQL Query and Data List based Data Fields can now both be offered as Array fields,
|
||||
so that you can choose among specific options when filling such
|
||||
* New overview tables give admins a deep look into used Custom Variables, their
|
||||
distinct values and usage
|
||||
* Various issues related to Boolean values have been fixed
|
||||
|
||||
### Import and Synchronization
|
||||
* Many issues have been addressed. Merge behavior, handling of special fields and
|
||||
data types
|
||||
* Problems with Import Source deletion on PostgreSQL have been addressed
|
||||
* New Property Modifiers are available. When importing single Services you might
|
||||
love the "Combine" modifier
|
||||
* It is now possible to re-arrange execution order of Property Modifiers and
|
||||
Sync Properties
|
||||
* Preview rendering got some improvements
|
||||
* "Replace" policy on Custom Vars is now always respected
|
||||
* Using VMware/vSphere/ESX? There is now a new powerful module providing a
|
||||
dedicated Import Source
|
||||
|
||||
### REST API
|
||||
* A new Self Service API now allows to completely automate your Icinga Agent
|
||||
roll-out, especially (but not only) for Microsoft Windows
|
||||
* List views are now officially available. They are very fast and stream the
|
||||
result in a memory-efficient way
|
||||
* Documentation better explains how to deal with various objects, especially
|
||||
with different types of Services (!!!!!)
|
||||
|
||||
### Internal architecture
|
||||
* Many base components have been completely replaced and re-written
