MonitorWare Agent 1.1 Released

Grossrinderfeld, 2002-09-20.

Adiscon today announced the immediate availability of MonitorWare Agent 1.1.  

• 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.
• German and French are now available consistently throughout the product screens.
• Much improved Japanese language support. The output encoding (EUC, JIS, SJIS) can now be selected for email and syslog forward actions.
• Incoming message 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 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 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)
• Support for SMTP authentication added
• File logger 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.
• Support for Windows XP visual styles added.
• Database schema change to capture new data and provide seamless interaction with upcoming changes and new products like the new web interface or the MonitorWare console.
• Enhanced Web Access based on the former web interface now part of the core product.
• General stability updates
