[Xymon] Xymon 4.3.5 released

[Henrik Størner]

Hi,

I have uploaded Xymon 4.3.5 to Sourceforge a few minutes ago, and it 
will start mirroring out soon. Source-file is available, and Debian 
packages for amd64 and i386 architectures.

New stuff in this release:
* the new "delayred"/ "delayyellow" options in hosts.cfg which will 
replease the "badTEST" settings that only worked for network tests;
* the enhancements to the Critical Systems view so you can also see the 
eventlog for the hosts

Performance-wise this release changes a couple of CGI-scripts so they 
don't have to load the entire hosts.cfg file, which can be quite heavy 
if you have a large hosts.cfg which may even be split out over lots of 
included files.

And there are some nasty bugs squashed that could trigger crashes in 
both xymond and some of the webpage tools.


The changes in this release:

* Fix crash in CGI generating the "info" status column.
* Fix broken handling of IGNORE for log-file analysis.
* Fix broken clean-up of obsolete cookies (no user impact).
* Devmon RRD handler: Fix missing initialisation, which
   might cause crashes of the RRD handler.
* Fix crashes in xymond caused by faulty new library for
   storing cookies and host-information.
* Fix memory corruption/crash in xymond caused by logging
   of multi-source statuses.
* New "delayred" and "delayyellow" definitions for a host
   can be used to delay change to a yellow/red status for
   any status column (replaces the network-specific "badFOO"
   definitions).
* analysis.cfg and alerts.cfg: New DISPLAYGROUP setting to
   select hosts by the group/group-only/group-except text.
* New HOSTDOCURL setting in xymonserver.cfg. Replaces the
   xymongen "--docurl" and "--doccgi" options, and is used
   by all tools.
* xymond_history option to control location of PID file.
* Critical Systems view: Optionally show eventlog for the
   hosts present on the CS view.
* Critical Systems view: Multiple --config options can
   now be used, to display critical systems from multiple
   configurations on one page.
* Detailed status display: Speedup by no longer having to
   load the hosts.cfg file.
* xymongen and xymonnet: Optionally load the hosts.cfg
   from xymond instead of having to read the file.

The bug relating to DNS tests not timing out - see this thread: 
http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2011-August/032306.html - has not been 
fixed in this release. I need to do some more digging into why the 
C-ARES library doesn't timeout the way it should, and what can be done 
to work around / fix it.

Henrik
