I'm always hopeful when I look through your features list... But I'm disappointed again. Any idea on when you'll give us the ability to ping with large packets??? Ed Konowal -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Janice Losgar Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 3:03 PM To: 'InterMapper Discussion' Subject: [IM-Talk] InterMapper 5.1b1 is available! Folks: The first external beta test version of InterMapper 5.1b1 ("False Pony") is now available. We would be delighted to have you use it and send us comments and bug reports. It contains many exciting and much-anticipated new features and a few bug fixes. Please see the Release Notes for a complete list. FEATURES: - Probe Groups: Group a number of probes for an IP address into a single icon. - SMS notifiers allow you to send SMS notifications directly to a cell phone using a cellular (GSM or CDMA) modem, rather than relying on TAP or email gateways. - Google Earth integration: InterMapper can supply device information as a layer to Google Earth. - Grid Layout: There's an Arrange -> Grid layout option that lets you place icons into an m x n grid. - Command-line import and export of maps through the RemoteAccess GUI - Insert Icon places a non-probed icon or image on the map - Server Log preferences that controls the number of lines in the scrollback The major feature of InterMapper 5.1 is Probe Groups (the feature formerly known as Collections in alpha versions). A Probe Group allows you to: - Group a number of probes for an IP address into a single icon. - Add new probes to an existing Probe Group. - Ungroup the icons (individually, or all the members). - Poll each member probe at its own rate, with its own settings. - Reflect the most serious condition of all the member probes in the icon's color. - Get notifications when the entire group has a problem. - Get (separate) notifications when a member probe has a problem. - Handle dependencies - if the "governor" probe is down, no notifications will be sent for any other member probes. - Show SNMP device and interface information based on the choice of "governor" probe. For a complete list of new features, please visit the "What's New" page and read the Probe Groups tech note. You'll find links to both further in this message. OTHER NOTES: Warning: THIS IS TEST SOFTWARE! It may have some bugs and misimplemented features. It is not safe to use in a production environment. In addition, InterMapper 5.1 uses a new file format which is not backwards compatible with InterMapper 5.0. For this reason, we recommend that you do not install InterMapper 5.1 beta releases on your primary InterMapper server; install it on a secondary machine and work with a copy of your InterMapper Settings folder. We have provided a test serial number on the download page that you can use for an entirely separate installation. Note to 5.1 alpha testers: Collections are now known as "Probe Groups". Probe groups created using the old Collection probe will work for this version, but alpha testers should make new Probe Groups, as the old Collection probe will go away soon. Having said all that, we deeply appreciate your willingness to try out these beta versions. Your feedback gives us a lot of insight into the problems of people who manage real networks. Thanks again. The InterMapper Team PS. Why "False Pony"? Well, all of our customers love the traffic "ants". With over 1,500 species of ants in Australia, we figure that we'll never run out of code names... http://www.ento.csiro.au/aicn/name_c/a_1487.htm LINKS: Download: http://dartware.com/downloads/binaries/?release=beta Release Notes: http://dartware.com/downloads/binaries/intermapperbetarelnotes.html What's New: http://dartware.com/network_monitoring_products/whatsnew51.html Probe Groups Tech Note: http://dartware.com/support/tech_notes/assortedtopics/probegroups.html ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [email protected] ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [email protected] ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [email protected]
