Title mk_logwatch (linux): now able to handle queries from multiple servers (no longer loosing data)
Date Apr 4, 2016
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Raw (CRE)
Checkmk Version 1.2.8b11 1.4.0i1
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

In earlier versions mk_logwatch only had one statefile for all incoming queries. Any newly found loglines were sent to one server - subsequent queries from other servers got nothing. With this version each IP address now has its own statefile. So you can now monitor the same system from multiple servers without the risk of loosing log messages. Important: Multiple OMD sites running under the same server IP address still steal log messages from one another.
