Based on the provided user feedback, we optimized which fields of the iTop CMDB will diplayed in openITCOCKPIT.

SELinux

openITCOCKPIT will now install required SELinux rules on RHEL based systems automaticaly. The rule files are provided by separate packages:

• openitcockpit-selinux
• openitcockpit-satellite-selinux

The rule files are located at /opt/openitc/selinux/.

Refreshed user interface

The new user interface provides a more consistent and cleaner experience. The host- and service status is now much more visible which helps to identify issues faster. The best way to see all changes is by experience the new interface first hand!

But wait there’s even more. We optimize the backend code of openITCOCKPIT Mobile to resolve an issue with fast expiring user sessions.

openITCOCKPIT version 4.5.3 has been released.

The Import Module of openITCOCKPIT has now support for the open source CMDB Combodo iTop. iTop got implemented as an alternative CMDB.

openITCOCKPIT version 4.5.1 has been released.

Revert changes to host group container permissions

The openITCOCKPIT 4.5.0 we introduced a major change to the permissions of host groups. This change was done, because of a paradox which the user permissions. If you add a Host from a sub-container to a host group which is located in the Root-Container, you are changing the host group object. This would require write permissions to the Root-Container.

We addressed this issue with openITCOCKPIT 4.5.0. Unfortunately this change caused massive side effect so we decided to rollback the old behavior.

We also resolved an bug, there the form for editing hosts did not display all available hostgroups due to the paradox permissions.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
