This patch includes the following updates and improvements * Add false-denial identification and reporting Data 75 (License logfile events) can be used to report on "false denials" after this update. Note that the data type must be regenerated after the patch has been installed before the new information is available. * Improve the DEFAULT mapping behavior used in the user-to-groups.map file Previously a user would be considered mapped, if he was present in any map in the whole map file. With the new update, a user can trigger a DEFAULT hit for each group type. * Small speed improvement in processing for most archive types. Depending on archive type a speed increase of 10-15 % may be expected. The licpoll2 archive type was the prime goal for the improvement. Revision 2 adds support for 6.3.0.3.
This patch fixes Core servers running less than 24 hours by correcting the detection of time zone/DST on the southern hemisphere. (E.g. Brazilian DST time.)
General Description: This patch includes back-end update to add support for improved token feature handling added to licpoll. Detailed Description: Without this patch the server will not be able to handle the new licpoll data provided by patch 1275 (windows) and patch 947(unix). It is also recommended to install patch 931 for showing token information in License Monitor.
Fixed a bug in archiver that fails automatic data generation for new archive type (data group configuration).
When licpoll data contains a first polling (e.g. from an overworked client) where the first polling time happens later than the polling interval, it would consider it a "shifted" client (30 minute offset) compared to the server and split it in two. This actually produces invalid files and blocks processing. This fixes the offset test so this type of problem will not happen. I.e. it will no longer split files unless it actually has full 30 minute shift from the server time.
Adds support for denial reason information in data types 75, License logfile events. After the patch is installed the data type needs to be regenerated before the database is populated with this data. E.g. with /opt/openit/bin/regenerate_data --datatype 75 2013-08-01 2013-08-31 Regeneration in month periods is recommended.
Licpoll data is read and processed in file by file and the back-end expected to get a complete hour input from a single file. When server and client timezones have 30 minute timezone shift this caused the processing to "loose" half an hour from every input file. This update adds a new binary that is run when data is arriving and will split licpoll data files on the server if these have a 30 minute offset (compared to server). The same binary can be run manually to split already collected data. As the installed server user run binary with the following options /opt/openit/bin/licpollarchivefilesplitter -s YYYY-MM-DD -e YYYY-MM-DD E.g. /opt/openit/bin/licpollarchivefilesplitter -s 2012-12-01 -e 2013-03-01
This patch contains the fix for missing data in generating hourly reports. -- This will fix how the filtrator processes split archive data. Filtrator will now skip broken archive data.
-Fix for handling of freeze data with too many log events and susp events.
Fix for handling of freeze data with too many log events.
Support for host that can be a member of another hostgroup issue hostgroup when applying license host mapping . But it will ignore the other mapping when it sees the first one, only the first mapping will be used.
