Icinga 2 v2.3.11 bugfix release

by | Oct 20, 2015

While we are working hard on our next feature release v2.4 we’ve come across several bugs and backported them into a new bugfix release v2.3.11.
This release improves the cluster stability and adds a couple of new plugin check command definitions for the ITL. It also introduces a new function called “cidr_match”:

$ icinga2 console
Icinga (version: v2.3.0-672-g35cbcde)
<1> cidr_match("192.168.1.0/24", "192.168.1.100")
true
<2> cidr_match("192.168.1.128/25", "192.168.1.100")
false
<3> cidr_match("2a03:2880::/29", "2a03:2880:f022:6:face:b00c:0:2")
true

Furthermore this release adds a new function resolve_arguments which lets users resolve commands+arguments in exactly the same way Icinga does internally as shown in the example below:

arguments = {
  "-C" = {{
    var command = macro("$by_ssh_command$")
    var arguments = macro("$by_ssh_arguments$")
    if (typeof(command) == String && !arguments) {
      return command
    }
    var escaped_args = []
    for (arg in resolve_arguments(command, arguments)) {
      escaped_args.add(escape_shell_arg(arg))
    }
    return escaped_args.join(" ")
  }}
  ...
}

Package updates are available soon. Please report any findings on bugs to our development tracker.
