openITCOCKPIT version 4.5.3 has been released.

Import Module: Combodo iTop

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

iTop as external system

The configuration wizard for external systems can be used, to define a new iTop instance. openITCOCKPIT will check the provided API credentials and you can pick which object classes you like to import.

openITCOCKPIT will query all objects from the iTop CMDB and will create hosts/services depending on the user defined role set (Host Defaults).

openITCOCKPIT version 4.5.2 has been released.

New look of the graphs

openITCOCKPIT provides chart based information on many places. From time to time we adjust the look and feel of our charts. With openITCOCKPIT 4.5.2 we adjusted the colors and enabled smooth chart rendering for a more modern look.

Also, all charts are now displaying threshold values, if available.

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.

openITCOCKPIT version 4.5.0 has been released. Among other features are some major changes to the container permissions of host groups.

Major changes to host group container permissions

In versions prior 4.5.0, it was possible to assign hosts from the Root-Container, to a host group outside of the Root-Container. This leads to an inconsistent configuration state as soon as a user edits the configuration of a host. The form for editing hosts, will only show host groups, which are in the same container (or sub-container) as the host itself. This behavior is also adopted for the host group masks as well.

New openITCOCKPIT Mobile Website

The brand new openITCOCKPIT Mobile website for Enterprise Edition users gives you an overview for your monitored devices at a glance – from everywhere! It is explicitly developed for Mobile devices.

openITCOCKPIT Mobile is deployed via Docker and can be hosted separately from openITCOCKPIT. It uses the openITCOCKPIT API with the API Key Authentication. To make things easier, we have integrated a new functionality in openITCOCKPIT, which allows you to scan the API Key as QR-Code.
