 RELEASE: Monitoring Studio KM v8.6.50

Sentry Software is releasing version 8.6.50 of Monitoring Studio KM, the high-performance tool that allows you to set up the monitoring of almost any application for which there is no out-of-the-box monitoring available, with no coding.

New features and enhancements

This version provides several major new features that enhance monitoring and analysis performances of Monitoring Studio:

• Configuration Report Output Format
  Two output formats were added to the configuration report: XLM and CSV
• Application classes
  New parameters were added to SW_SNMP_POLLING, SW_JMX and SW_NUMBERS:
  • Delta to display the difference between values collected during two consecutive polling
  • DeltaPerSecond to display the value corresponding to "Delta" divided by the elapsed time in seconds between the collection times
• Macro
  The macro %{NTEVENT_LAST_MATCHING_CONTENT} displays the content of the NT event
• KM Command
  The KM Command "Trigger a KM Discovery" forces a discovery of all objects for the monitored system
• Supported environment
  The Java MBean Polling (JMX) feature now supports the polling of WebSphere v.7.x environment

 

The version also includes several enhancements to existing features :

• Application Constants
  They are now interpreted by the user interface. The interpretation upon collection is also processed as previously
• Discovery interval
  It can now be customized from once every 5 minutes to once every 24 hours
• Dynamic Objects
  • Dynamic thresholds can now be applied to dynamic objects.
  • In some cases the regular expression engine run by Monitoring Studio on the dynamic object class to perform a data extraction would let unwanted data to be used to build dynamic objects.
  • An issue occurred in some environments where the "view parameter output" button in the Monitoring Studio Dynamic Object wizard was empty.
  • An internal conflict could occur in the creation process of dynamical Patrol Object ID that led to the dynamical objects not being created.
• DYNAMIC_RETURN_OUTPUT now properly returns the Dynamic extracted line value
• Polling Interval
  The Display Object Report did not show the correct polling interval when the interval was set to once a day or once a week
• File Monitoring and String Search
  The monitoring and parsing of LOG files on OpenVMS servers have been improved. The ftell() PSL function does not always return the proper position in the file being monitored: a workaround as been implemented. The OpenVMS BACKUP command would also sometimes restore previously deleted temporary files. This would prevent Monitoring Studio from parsing the new file content.
• SNMP Polling
  When looking for a String or extracting a Numeric Value, the data was not properly parsed.
• JMX Polling
  This feature has been greatly optimized and uses less resources than the previous version.
• The Numeric Extraction feature now supports numeric values with implicit 0. ( i.e.: value ".45" is seen as "0.45").
