Subject: [IM-Talk] InterMapper 5.0 is available

Folks:

Dartware is pleased to announce the availability of InterMapper 5.0. This is
a final, official version of the software, and is recommended for all
customers. This release is a no-cost upgrade for everyone whose maintenance
contract is currently in force.

InterMapper 5.0 brings a host of new features, including:

1) IPv6 Support: InterMapper 5.0 tests devices that have IPv6 addresses, and
supports IPv6 client connections. You can test devices with IPv6 addresses
using Pings, TCP- and UDP-based probes, and IPv6-based DNS queries.

2) InterMapper Database Technology Preview: InterMapper 5.0 can collect data
from networked devices, inserting it into a SQL database. You can write your
own SQL queries, based on various Crystal Reports and sample reports.

Note: We have chosen to label the InterMapper Database as "technology
preview" because it is stable, but not ready for production use. We have
tested it enough to believe that the fundamentals all work. However, a great
deal more testing is required before we can claim that it meets our
standards for a final product, and there are a number of optimizations yet
to be implemented.

3) Enhanced Nagios Plug-in support: InterMapper has long supported
command-line probes and has supplied a template specific to Nagios plugins.
In Version 5.0, there is a new Nagios Plugin probe
(Miscellaneous/Nagios/Nagios Plugin in the Set Probe... window) that
displays the plugin's output string and makes chartable values for all the
performance data ("perfdata").

4) Folders in the Map List: You can now organize your maps into folders,
reducing clutter for those who have lots of maps.

5) Ack Filtering in List views: There are two new buttons (at the top right
of the window) that hide or show devices that have been acknowledged. This
will make it easier to spot new trouble areas.

6) Server-wide find on DNS name, IP address, label or IMID: The "Find
Devices..." menu item allows you to search either a map or the entire
InterMapper Server for a given DNS name, IP address, label or IMID.
Searching by IMID can be helpful for relating a device in InterMapper
Database to a device on the map.

7) Server Discovery Preference: InterMapper RemoteAccess now implements a
preference allowing you to turn off server discovery, so that the only
servers which appear in the Map List window are those servers you have added
yourself.

As always, thanks for your interest and enthusiasm for InterMapper.

The InterMapper Team
