Release Notes for v2.5.15

Home  Previous  Next

What's New

Wild characters (‘*’ and ‘?’) can now be provided in the file path when monitoring a file
To avoid the 140 characters limitation for text boxes in BMC Portal, the SQL query can be stored in a file on the RSM and executed using the %{FromRSM:filename} macro in SQL query Objects

Fixed Issues

When the file path contained either * or ?, the Performance Manager failed to retrieve the  most recently modified file corresponding to the specified mask
String Searches and Numeric Value Extraction failed to handle empty content
When executing remote commands on Windows systems with non-English regional settings (or similar) the Performance Manager failed to evaluate the execution time
HTTP Post requests failed when performed through a Web proxy
The Performance Manager did not take into account the specified column number for numeric value extraction objects
The rescale factor in Numeric Value Extraction objects was not properly taken into account
The scientific notation was not properly handled by Numeric Value Extraction objects
One-row SNMP tables were not properly handled

Changes and Improvements

The parameters Count(HB) and Count(LB) of String Search objects are set to “No Data” when the parsed content is empty
A retry mechanism has been implemented to better handle flaky SSH connectivity and avoid false alerts
Added an option to specify the WMI impersonation level for command line execution on Windows systems. This allows the execution of commands that access another system remotely (the RSM launches a command on remote System A which accesses remote System B)
