MonitorWare Agent 1.1
Release Date: 2002-09-20
This release includes numerous enhancements as well as stability updates. All
users are strongly advised to update to this version. Specifically, it includes
the following enhancements:
- New NT Service Monitor - Allows monitoring all local NT services. Generates an event
for each service which is not started but set to start automatically.
- New Disk Space Monitor - Monitors all local hard disk partitions. Can be used for
statistics or to alert if disk space is low.
- Language Consistency - German and French are now available consistently
throughout the product screens.
- Improved Japenese Language Support - The output encoding (EUC, JIS, SJIS) can now be
selected for email and syslog forward actions.
- Incoming Message – they can now be filtered based on a lower, higher or equal
syslog priority. Previously, only an exact match was supported. This greatly
simplifies rule creation in common scenarios.
- Replacement characters - these are now supported in the “Start Program” action.
This allows e.g. to pass the source system or message content to an external
program.
- Improved syslog over TCP receiver – offers greater compatibility and more options.
- Support for Debugging - support for debugging complex rule bases (log file can be
written)
- Interactive Syslog Server - can now be instructed not to scroll incoming messages as
they arrive. Often requested to save client machine performance.
- New exclude filters - based on message content (all previous versions supported
include filters, only)
- SMTP Authentication - support for SMTP authentication added
- Enhanced File logger - it does now allow concurrent reads and writes to the log
file. So it can be reviewed e.g. with notepad while it is constantly being
written.
- Visual Styles -
support for Windows XP visual styles added.
- Database schema
- changed to capture new data and provide seamless interaction with upcoming
changes and new products like the new web interface or the MonitorWare
console.
- Enhanced WinSyslog Web Access - based on the former web interface now part of the core
product.
