Yes, you read it right. Nagios 4 is approaching, but it needs your help to reach the finish-line, so pretty please HELP!
Right now, config parsing is a lot quicker. Check execution is done through workers, except on-demand host chekc execution, which is still handled by the serial model. Code can be fetched from either of: svn co https://nagios.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nagios nagios git://github.com/ageric/nagios.git The people who provide me with the most valuable bug reports will be rewarded with a special prize, apart from a special mention at the Nagios World Conference 2012, happening in Minneapolis on september 25, 26, 27 and 28 this year (as it's 2012...). Points will be given on: * Accuracy of bugreport. If the bug is triggered by one of 13 trillion serviceescalations, you'll have an excellent chance if you produce an example config which reproduces the problem without creating a huge overhead. * Patchiness of bugreport. If the bug contains valgrind output showing illegal memory access, or a backtrace of the error, it will be given extra credit. If it contains a minimal setup displaying the error as well as a patch fixing the error, you're almost sure to be in the very small Circle Of Winners. * Surgeonry of bugreport. If a patch fixes a billion unrelated items, points will be taken from it. * bugreports of a slow Nagios accompanied by gprof or valgrind output output will be given priority over other bugreports of a slow Nagios. Note that only bugreports providede *before* 2012-09-24 will be considerered, and also note that the winners will be announced at the Nagios World Conference 2012 (unless they explicitly ask me not to mention their names, in which case they can't even compete, really, but will probably get several shots from me if I ever meet them and *may* get a very special prize anyway). Patches can be provided for Core Nagios, Livestatus, NDOUtils, Merlin mod_gearman, dnx_utils or npcdmod. Each project gives extra points, provided it's universal. Patches that promote a specific installation directory are worthless and won't be considered.
