What's New
| • | PSL Commands Analysis: Monitoring Studio now supports PSL commands. The PSL Command Monitor makes it possible to execute PSL commands and analyze their result. |
| • | Windows Event monitoring now supports regular expressions for selecting and acknowledging specific event messages. |
| • | Multi-Parameter Formula: |
| ▪ | supports the following new functions: swTableJoin(), swGetMaximum(), swGetMinimum(), swGetAverage(). |
| ▪ | it is now possible to create a String Search, Numeric Value Extraction, Text Pre-Processing, or Dynamic Object Builder for this Monitor. |
| ▪ | the Result parameter was added to the SEN_MS_FORMULA application class to display the returned output of the formula. |
| • | SNMP Browser: Monitoring Studio now supports SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 in the SNMP Browser wizard. |
| • | JSON Support: The Text Pre-Processing Monitor now provides two new options to convert JSON output to CSV or flat map formats. |
| • | The Web Request Analysis Monitor now uses a java-based engine to improve performance and flexibility. |
| • | Credentials Management: It is now possible to improve credentials security by preventing password reuse. |
| • | The Proxy Settings KM command was added to the SEN_MS_MAIN application class to let you configure shared proxy server credentials to be used to execute Web requests. |
| • | The DiscoveryStatus and DiscoveryTime parameters were added to the SEN_MS_MAIN application class to report on the global discovery. |
Changes and Improvements
| • | Folders and Command Lines: remote monitoring is now fully supported on Windows 2003. |
| • | Web Requests (POST - Web Service): Environment variables can now be used when specifying the path to the 'Web Service Body'. |
| • | Multi-Parameter Formula: All timeout and formula syntax errors are now identified and reported to the annotation of the Group’s CollectionErrorCount parameter with a more descriptive error message. |
| • | Text Pre-Processing: It is now possible to filter the content of the Result parameter of a Monitor before parsing it to discard unwanted or unsupported text. The wizard provides new filter to keep specific lines or to keep/exclude lines matching a specific regular expression. |
| • | Monitoring Studio's overall performance and responsiveness have been greatly improved to better handle large configurations. |
| • | Using invalid Java credentials prevents data collection. The message displayed in the annotation of the CollectionErrorCount parameter and in the KM debug file now clearly identifies this Java settings problem. |
| • | Monitoring Studio now prevents new groups to be created and removes all existing group instances when no compatible JRE is detected. |
| • | To avoid potential authentication failures, Monitoring Studio prevents users from selecting or specifying SSH private key-based credentials for Monitors such as WBEM Query, Web Request, or Database Query which do not support this functionality. |
| • | The folder where temporary files are stored is now emptied during the initial discovery cycle and temporary files are deleted at the end of each collection cycle. |
Fixed Issues
| • | Group constants were replaced by their actual value in the Alert Actions wizard. |
| • | When performing a String Search on log files with the Report matching lines: in the current collect only option selected, the LastMatchingLines parameter now only displays the last 50 matching lines found in the last collection. |
| • | On rare occasions, WBEM queries could fail with Java 8. |
| • | Alert actions set at the Nagios Performance Monitor level were not executed. They can now be set at the Nagios Plugin Monitor level only. |
| • | When upgrading from Monitoring Studio v9.0.00 or v9.1.00, credentials and alert actions could be lost or corrupted leading to false alerts. |
| • | Text Pre-Processing: false alerts could be triggered when searching for lines not containing a specific string. |
