0.73 (2010-11-03)
- Fixed RT #61903 which occurs when the same check is referenced
multiple times (with potentially different parameters) in a
multicheck scenario.
- Fixed RT #62342: Perl warning when using operations and not --name
in check_jmx4perl
- Added --method to jmx4perl, config option 'method' for JMX::Jmx4Perl
in order to allow a default HTTP Method to use.
- Changed request command constant 'VERSION' to 'AGENT_VERSION' in
order to avoid conflicts with the usual versioning conventions for
Perl Modules. This is an API change, so in case you are using requests
with the constant VERSION you should change this to AGENT_VERSION
- Fixed issues when browsing with less in j4psh
- Extended config handling in j4psh to allow includes
0.72 (2010-9-24)
- Fixed problem with quotes in the config when using "Value"
and/or "Base".
- Adapted tomcat.cfg to be more flexible (e.g. replaced 'Catalina'
domain part by a wildcard).
- Fixed bug for merged MBeanServers when using multiple attributes
and/or MBean patterns for a READ request
- Fixed broken --target, --target-user and --target-password for
check_jmx4perl (same for --proxy and co.)
- Tuned output of complex data in j4psh
- Unwrap an MBeanException to use the target exception for an error
message
- Agent tested with Mule 3.0
0.71 (2010-8-16)
- Added 'ns' as unit (CpuThreadTime returns nano seconds)
- Fixed quoting of performance data in so far to let
Nagios::Plugin the complete control
- Fixed '--color' option and UseColor config directive
(section: <Shell>) to j4psh
- Added detection of a suitable pager for j4psh
- Fixed bug in server configuration when using old style syntax
0.70 (2010-7-10)
- Extended configuration syntax for check_jmx4perl as an alternative to
command line options
+ Parameterized checks
+ Default values for parameters
+ Multichecks (one HTTP request, many JMX requests)
+ Check-Inheritance
+ Predefined checks for certain environments (as sample configuration files)
+ Added null value check, can be tuned with --null
- Added '--value' as a shortcut for --mbean/--attribute/--value
- Better documentation for check_jmx4perl (30 extra pages)
- <Server> sections are now named blocks, taking the server name as block
name (similar to <Check>). The old syntax with an "Name" argument is
still support but must not be mixed with the new syntax.
- Path elements containing '/' can now be escaped with '\/'
- j4p-osgi-bundle including pax-web-bundle so only a single bundle
is needed for deploying (when no OSGi HttpService is installed)
- Relaxed version requirements on core and compendium OSGi classes
for j4p-osgi bundle.
- Changed access restrictions (j4p-access.xml):
+ <allow> and <deny>
+ Wildcards (*) for attribute and operation names
+ WARNING: Semantics of MBean specification has changed. Please
read the comments in j4p-access.xml.template
+ Add logging (level info) for printing out which security policy
is used
- Started to add a java client library
- j4psh beta version added
- Agent:
+ Switched from JUnit to TestNG for testing because of
support of testing groups
+ New servlet init parameter option 'mbeanQualifier' to allow
multiple j4p-servlet in a single application server
0.65 (2010-3-30)
- A JDK 6 java agent added for exporting the j4p protocol via
HTTP/JSON.
- Extended READ operation to support MBean patternames and multiple
attributes with a single request
- Renamed 'max_depth', 'max_list_size','max_objects' as processing
configuration parameters to 'maxDepth', 'maxCollectionSize' and
'maxObjects' respectively for consistencies sake.
- Bug fix: POST request respect these parameters as well now
- Added 'ignoreErrors' request option in order to allow a bulk read
to succeed even if single read fails. In this case, the valu will
- 'search' returns properly escaped MBean Names if unsafe characters
are used.
- For GET request, instead of pathinfo a query with parameter 'p'
can be used as alternative. This works around certain issues with
special path handling with certain app-servers (e.g. Tomcat).
- JMX::Jmx4Perl::Request and JMX::Jmx4Perl::Agent hardened in order
to be more smart with unsafe MBean Names and detect automatically
the most convenient HTTP Request method (if not explicitely set)
- Added more unit and integration tests.
- Added VERSION command to JMX::Jmx4Perl to get to agent and
protocol version
- Fixed error handling for bulk requests. Now each request object
will return an associated response object even in the error case.
- Fixed JMX::Jmx4Perl::info for IBM JVMs
- Added JMX::Jmx4Perl->parse_name() for splitting up a given MBean
object name into its parts
0.60 (2009-02-28)
- OSGi bundle (including dependencies) for exposing JSON export via
the OSGi HTTP-Service. It's in agent/modules/j4p-osgi.
- Refined error handling
- Removed legacy JDK 1.4 support. 0.36 is the one and only version
for which the JDK 1.4 backport has been tested to some amount.
- Added support for overloaded JMX operations for 'list' and 'exec'
- 'read' operation can now be used without attribute name in which
case the value of all attributes is returned. This can be used
directly with JMX::Jmx4Perl and the frontend jmx4perl.
- Support for Resin 3.1 added
- 'exec' operation can now deal with simple array arguments. Within
the perl modules, give an array ref for an array argument. This
gets translated to a comma separated list of values in the
string. For string array this works only with simle content
(i.e. no element containing a ',')
0.51 (2009-12-30)
- Quickfix for a badly packaged agent/j4p.war
0.50 (2009-12-24)
- Protocol of j4p.war has been extended to enable proxy mode
- Added '--target' to check_jmx4perl for using proxy mode
- Added '--target' to jmx4perl
- Added Mule agent. Use maven to build it in agent/modules/j4p-mule
- 'get_war' and 'get_mule_agent' as actions for Build.PL for
fetching java artifacts from the labs.consol.de maven repository.
- Cleaned up and updated Manual.pod
0.40 (2009-11-14)
- Extended protocol to allow for JSON requests via POST in addition
to pure URL based requests via GET
- Implemented bulk requests: JMX::Jmx4Perl->request() can now take a
list of JMX::Jmx4Perl::Request objects in which case it will
return a list of JMX::Jmx4Perl::Response objects (instead of a
single, scalar, response when used with a single request)
- Support for Glassfish V3 Preview, Jonas 5.1 and Jetty 7.0.0
0.36 (2009-10-30)
- Added <remote> to j4p-access.xml for restricting
access to certain hosts or subnets only.
- Added support for a JDK 1.4 agent war. The feature base for
this agent is frozen. It might even vanish in the future.
You need a JDK 1.4 agent for running within Weblogic 8.1
- Cleaned up j4p agent with help of sonar and associated
metric checkers like PMD, check_style and FindBugs.
- Added support for config files in jmx4perl and JMX::Jmx4Perl
which allows for shortcuts for agent URL as well as storing
user and credentials information.
- Fixed some bugs
0.35 (2009-08-15)
- Added example 'threadDump.pl'
- Fixed bug when serializing floats and doubles.
- check_jmx4perl:

bash history for repeated usage.
- Added support for restricting MBean access via a policy file
(j4p-access.xml)
0.21 (2009-07-03)
- Added '--proxy' for check_jmx4perl and jmx4perl
- check_jmx4perl:
+ Refactored to work within the embedded Nagios Perl interpreter
(ePN)
+ use relative values in the range from 0 to 100%
(for --critical and --warning) instead of [0..1]
+ Renamed '--base-value' to '--base' since it can take now
absolute values (numbers) or "mbean/alias/path" tuples as an
argument in addition to alias names.
+ Added '--operation' which allows for using return values of
operations as check values
+ Added ~ 50 integration tests
