Software-update: IPCheck Server Monitor 5.2.0.417

Op de homepage van Paessler kan een nieuwe versie van IPCheck Server Monitor worden gevonden, en wel versie 5.2.0.417. Dit programma is in staat om één of meerdere Windows-servers in een netwerk te monitoren. Mocht er een problemen worden geconstateerd, dan kan je via een mail-, ICQ-, MSN- of sms-bericht op de hoogte worden gebracht. Het is ook mogelijk om via een webbrowser de status van de computer te bekijken. Een uitgebreidere lijst met mogelijkheden kan op deze pagina worden gevonden. De software is gratis voor thuisgebruik, maar kent dan wel enkele beperkingen. Commercieel gebruik kan vanaf zo'n €115. Het changelog van de laatste twee versies ziet er als volgt uit:

Changes in version 5.2.0.417:

• Bugfix: Internal date/time formatting (i.e. for creating some URLs) were susceptible for system config changes
• Bugfix: SNMP Port was ignored on the 'Sensor Select' page
• Bugfix: Email reports > 90 days were not possible

Changes in version 5.2.0.405;

• New: "Hierarchical dependencies" for groups, servers and sensors
• New: "Network Map" feature which enables you to create up-to-date graphical maps of your network with icons showing the sensors' states
• New: Report schedule option "no reports" which is now also default for new users
• New: "Custom" SMS service provider (sends a custom HTTP request)
• New: Support for US gateway of BulkSMS
• New: Added detailed documentation about script syntax and functions for SCRIPT sensors in the manual
• New: Host service sends keep-alive-packets to probes every 30 seconds to avoid probe connection losses due to firewall or NAT connection timeouts
• New: Initial redirect (occurs when webserver is accessed with a servername different from the one set in the control panel) now shows an information webpage
• New: New 'Port' property for Oracle SQL Sensor
• New: New 'Interface' property to select between oracle client interface (OCI) or SQL-Net (direct TCP/IP)
• Changed: HTTP Sensors don't send a trailing null byte with post data
• Changed: When the connection to a probe fails it is tried up to three times for each sensor request
• Changed: When the login/connection to the target for a system sensor fails it is tried up to three times
• Changed: Admin Dependencies now do not only pause sending of notifications but also pause monitoring of all sensors
• Changed: Notification dependencies stop sending of messages if the dependency sensor "is not UP (green)" (was "if DOWN (red)"), which mainly means that a paused or scheduled admin dependency sensor also stops notifications
• Bugfix: Custom entry for 'Service Sensor' does not work properly when services list was empty.
• Bugfix: Stopping the probe before the host web server could prohibit a correct shutdown of the host.
• Bugfix: Various smaller bugs
