v1.11.0 Changes

• Major updates to dv2email

  dv2email has has a major work-over. In addition to fixing numerous bugs we've also added the ability to send dataviews as XLSX or Text Table attachments, splitting multiple Dataviews into either individual attachments or per-Entity. The export sub-command allows to you save Dataviews as files in XLSX, HTML or Text Table formats. Take a look and let us know what you think.

• New gateway-reporter

  A new tool to build monitoring coverage reports from static Gateway configurations. This is a new tool and support is limited to a core set of plugins and the data reported for each. The tool does not interrogate running Gateways and so does not attempt to resolve dynamic parts of the configuration. Output is in XLSX, CSV and JSON formats.

  This is a new work in progress based on an internal project for a client and we welcome suggestions and contributions. Please use the links above to send us feedback!

• New example holidays

  Another new tool, but very early in development. This uses the Python holiday module (which seems the only reliable, free source of global holiday data) to generate a list of holidays and their names in Go. It has to run in a docker container as the cpy3 Go package only supports Python 3.7. It may prove simpler just to write the whole tool in Python and avoid Go, but the local skills are sadly lacking at the moment. Also, we have Go based tools in pkg/geneos to build Gateway configuration XML in a nice, clean way.

  The aim is to be able to create Gateway include files with predefined Active Times of holidays that can be incorporated into more general monitoring.

  Again, suggestions and, more importantly, contributions welcomed.

• geneos has had a number of enhancements (and bug fixes, of course).

  The geneos aes encode command can now also create "app key" files for use with Gateway Hub and Obcerv Centralised Configs. To help with that the logic around how the Gateway command line is constructed has also had a refresh, with new options for the Centralised Config options. See the documentation for encode and the gateway for more information.

v1.11.0 Fixes

• pkg/

  • Removal of all logging in packages. This was left over from early development and is considered bad practice.

• tools/geneos

  • Fix a mistake in handling remote hosts in geneos show -V for validation runs.

  • Fix geneos home matching of instances when the same name existed on local and remote hosts.

  • Fix issues in geneos package sub-system commands. They should now work more consistently and do what you expect.
