Network Visualization (DCT) goes WATO

Updated version to 1.1.4-2025-11-14

  • HEADS UP
    With NVDCT 1.2.0 I will raise the minimum Checkmk version required to 2.3.0p31/2.4.0b4.
    Why? To get rid of some ugly code to deal with the restrictions of some REST API endpoints (URL length restriction in GET requests).
    See Checkmk Werks #17003 and #17512.
    So if you are running older Checkmk versions, one more reason to update.
  • DEPRECATED
    • The option --update-config has ben deprecated. There is no replacement. I plan to remove the option from the NVDCT with version 1.2.0.
      Why? Cleanup of old (and mostly unused) code.
  • NEW FEATURES
    • --display-short-if-names
      If enabled NVDCT will use short interface names in the topology. Ie. “GigabitEthernet0/0/0” becomes “Gi0/0/0”.

    • In layer 2 topologies the connection tool tip is now added to every connection (not only on mismatch)

  • DOCUMENTATION

Cheers
Thomas
