What's New
| • | Nagios Plugins Integration: Monitoring Studio now supports the monitoring of the metrics resulting from a local or remote Nagios plugin execution via the new Nagios Plugin Monitor. |
| • | Nagios Configuration Import: Monitoring Studio now enables you to import an entire Nagios configuration. |
| • | Host Cloning: A new tool is now available to replicate monitoring settings from one host to another. This feature facilitates the set-up of several hosts that need to be monitored in a similar manner. |
| • | Numeric Value Extraction, String Search, and Dynamic Object Builder: Numeric values or text enclosed in single (') or double(") quotes can be considered as a single column. Any applicable separator found within these quotes will not be considered as a column separator. |
| • | Command Line Analysis: A new parameter has been added (ExitCode) to report on the exit code returned by the executed command. |
| • | Folders Monitoring: A new feature is now available to configure Monitoring Studio in order to automatically clear or keep alerts triggered on time-based parameters when the monitored folder is empty; and to set, reset or ignore these parameters values. |
| • | Configuration variables: A list of configuration variables used to manually set variables that are not available through the standard interface is provided in the Reference Guide chapter of this documentation. |
Changes and Improvements
| • | Command line alert actions configured at the group level are run on the PATROL Agent node. |
| • | Specific credentials can be defined while configuring a Command line alert action at the Host or Monitor level. |
| • | E-mail alert actions: In previous versions, the SMTP server settings had to be specified for each e-mail alert action. To prevent repetitive actions, the SMTP server can now be set once and for all for all hosts and monitors. |
| • | Rename and Edit wizards now check whether the new label is not already used at the same hierarchy level (under the same parent) before accepting it. |
| • | Text Pre-Processing: Any blank line found in multi-line records is now ignored when converted into single line. |
| • | The maximum number of bytes that can be read in a log file is increased from 8MB to 32MB. This limit can however be customized by modifying the maxFileSizeRead variable either globally (under /SENTRY/STUDIO) or at the host level (under /SENTRY/STUDIO/<host-id>/). |
| • | Remote UNIX/Linux host monitoring: Monitoring Studio now offers the possibility to use private key and passphrase-based SSH authentication for connecting to remote UNIX/Linux hosts. |
Fixed Issues
| • | Agent Configuration Import – The multi-parameter formula monitor was not properly imported. |
