openITCOCKPIT version 4.5.5 has been released - One of your new year’s resolutions should be, to update your openITCOCKPIT installation 😉.

Upcoming changes

openITCOCKPIT and the underlying components will require at least PHP 7.4 with the next minor release (openITCOCKPIT 4.6). Please be aware that PHP 7.4 is already end of life since 28 Nov 2022. How ever, there are still versions of Ubuntu and Debian, that ship even older versions of PHP.

For this reason we decided to drop support for Ubuntu Bionic and Debian Buster.

openITCOCKPIT version 4.5.4 has been released.

Import Module: Improved Combodo iTop CMDB view

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.

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.
