[Check_mk Announce] New version 1.1.9i8

[Check_mk Announcements]

Dear list members,

the new version 1.1.9i8 has been released which is mainly a bugfix
release. If fixes a problem of 1.1.9i7 that made WATO crash on
RedHat due to the older Python version they used. Furthermore it
adds a simple webservice to Multisite that allows to get the
data of a view as JSON or Python object. This will be used for
attaching NagStaMon directly to Multisite.

Here is the complete
ChangeLog:

     Multisite:
     * New "web service" for retrieving data from views as JSON or
       Python objects. This allows to connect with NagStaMon
       (requires patch in NagStaMon). Simply add &output_format=json
       or &output_format=python to your view URL.
     * Added two builtin views for NagStaMon.
     * Acknowledgement of problem now has checkboxes for sticky,
       send notification and persisten comment
     * Downtimes: allow to specify fixed/flexible downtime
     * new display_options d/D for switching on/off the tab "Display"
     * Improved builtin views for downtimes
     * Bugfix: Servicegroups can be searched with the quicksearch snapin 
using
       the 'sg:' prefix again

     WATO:
     * Fixed problem appearing at restart on older Python version (RH)

With best regards,

Mathias
