While the backend exporter has been overhauled in many places, we’ve also tackled long lasting issues such as missing schema attributes or nasty import bugs. On the other hand, the LConf web interface reflects the schema additions as well fixes annoying bugs with custom variable removal, and also integrates community contributed patches such as a parent host drop down.
Download LConf Backend 1.5.0, LConf Icinga Web 1.5.0 & LConf Standalone Web 1.5.0.
Find the Changelog below.
