2008-03-31 MonitorWare Agent 5.2 Final Released

MonitorWare Agent 5.2 Released

Grossrinderfeld, 2008-03-31

Adiscon is proud to announce the 5.2 release of MonitorWare Agent. This is a maintenance release including new features and bugfixes. The most important changes are:

  • InterActive SyslogViewer – We are introducing a new tool for Realtime Syslog viewing called “Interactive SyslogViewer”. This application is written in Microsoft .Net which means, the .Net Framework will also be installed with the setup.
  • New Service “SNMP Monitor” – This new Service can monitor SNMP Devices using the SNMP Get Method. There are many snmp capable devices out there which can be monitored with this new service.
  • SMTP SSL support for the Send Email Action – This means you can use a secured connection to SMTP Servers. Note that the common default port for SMTP over SSL is 465. If you enable SSL Support and use a normal SMTP Server, the email delivery will fail.
  • Queue Manager – This feature enables the Agent to cache items in its internal queue on disk using a fixed data file. Warning(!), this feature will slow down processing speed depending on your hard disk speed. This feature can give you an additional level of failover support.
  • File Monitor – Added full support for UTF Textfiles which means we now support UTF8, UTF16 and normal ASCII text files.
  • Filter Engine – A new Extended Property type for number based properties is available now, so you can filter for custom properties as numbers.
  • General SNMP Change – Updated all NET-SNMP MIBS which are shipped with MWAgent, and also introduced custom enterprise MIBS for Monitorware Agent. These Mibs will now be used by default in the SendSNMP Action, to generate useful traps.

2006-10-25 MonitorWare Agent 4.2 Final Released

MonitorWare Agent 4.2 Released

Adiscon is proud to announce the 4.2 release of MonitorWare Agent. This release contains a few features and some bugfixes. This is primarily a maintenance release. Find a list of changes below:

  • EventLog Monitor – A ressource library cache has been added. This new feature will mainly be useful for the Eventlog Monitor. All libraries will be cached for 30 minutes by default. For events with the same reoccuring event sources, this will be a great performance enhancement. The cache will also work for remote system libraries (requires administrative default shares).
  • Syslog Service, MonitorWare Echo Reply, SETP Receiver – TCP and UDP Services can now be bound to specific IP Addresses. This feature is useful for multihome environments where you want to run different Syslog Servers on different IP Addresses. Please note that the default IP Address 0.0.0.0 means ANY IP Address.
  • OpenSSL – Updated the OpenSSL components and libraries with the latest Version openssl-0.9.8d.
  • ForwardSyslog Action – Fixed a wrong Session Timeout value in case TCP was selected as protocol. This caused each TCP Session to be closed after usage. The session will now remain open for 30 minutes by default.
  • Database Service – Fixed a bug in the Database Monitor that caused saving the wrong LastID Value. Also fixed a bug in the Client that caused bogus error messages when a new Database Monitor was created.
