Today we’re announcing the general availability of Icinga DB Web v1.1.3 as well as a vulnerability fix for the Icinga PHP Library (IPL) in version 0.14.1.
You can find all issues related to Icinga DB Web on its Roadmap. The fixed vulnerability is covered here.
Icinga DB Web
Disappearing Content
With the previous patch release we limited plugin output in lists to 1000 characters and in object details to 10000 characters. We did this to reduce the risk of long output crashing a browser’s tab. Though, it seems some of you have less forgiving browsers or the need to manually sift through huge amounts of SNMP metrics. Either way, you can now change the default limit in object details. Check out the documentation. Another – rather unexpected – effect this change had, was that it caused some hosts and services to disappear from lists! This was due to HTML in output being cut in half and the browser (being smart about it) merging it with Icinga DB Web’s own markup. Our CSS didn’t account for this of course, hiding the resulting overflow.
Showing Respect to different Groups
We have several different types of objects in Icinga. Each has its own overview in Icinga DB Web. But some, especially groups, we didn’t pay enough attention recently. Compared to the monitoring module for example, host- and service-group filters are only now preserved while you navigate away. This has the beneficial side-effect that their details are now filterable like any other list. Both of these plus the contact and contact group overview, are now also navigable by keyboard (with the arrow keys) again, this got broke with v1.1.
