[Announce] M/Monit 2.1.1

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

Hello all,

A thread storage problem was found in the just released 2.1 version  
which could lead M/Monit to grow out of available virtual memory.  
Upgrading to 2.1.1 is strongly recommended. We are sorry for the  
inconvenience.

The new 2.1.1 release can be downloaded from http://mmonit.com/download/


Release information:
====================

IMPROVEMENTS:

* In admin/hosts, if an outbound IP-address was
  specified for Monit, display this address in
  the hosts table.

* Allow non-fully qualified domain for jabber users.


BUG FIXES:

* Fixed a thread storage problem that caused M/Monit
  virtual memory usage to grow during event processing.
  This in turn could lead M/Monit to grow out of available
  virtual memory and to a full stop. Many thanks to Asim
  for the bug report.


UPGRADING:

There are no database changes in this release
	

1) Using a proxy in front of M/Monit and having problems reaching  
Monit from M/Monit?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In difference to the previous M/Monit 2.0.3 version, the host IP- 
address is continuously updated to reflect real values. M/Monit takes  
the IP-address of the connection from Monit and use that as the  
address of the Host.

For example, if you have setup an Apache Proxy in front of M/Monit and  
setup M/Monit to listen on the loop-back interface (127.0.0.1), M/ 
Monit will see the IP-address of Monit as 127.0.0.1.

Using a proxy in front of M/Monit is fine, but since the IP-address is  
now updated each time Monit reports in, changing the Monit IP-address  
in "Monit Host specification" will not stick.

Here is the solution to make M/Monit able to reach Monit again. Go to  
admin/hosts and edit the Host in question. Click on the "Firewall/NAT/ 
Proxy" link and specify the outbound IP-address and port for Monit,  
that would be the IP-address Monit is really running on. Click the  
"Test connection to Monit" link to see if it works and that M/Monit  
can now reach Monit. This screenshot indicate how it may look on your  
system:

This solution will also fix any problems you might have had with the M/ 
Monit iPhone app not being able to connect.
