Folks:
Dartware is pleased to announce the availability of InterMapper 5.2.
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 5.2 brings a host of new features, including:
* WMI Probes: When InterMapper is installed on a Windows machine,
these probes retrieve detailed information from Windows workstations
through the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) interface. For
further information, please refer to the WMI Probes topic in the User Guide.
* New HTTP API: InterMapper 5.2 enhances its Software Development Kit
(SDK) by adding the ability for external programs to exchange data with
the InterMapper server using an HTTP API. For further information, refer
to the InterMapper HTTP API topic in the Developer Guide.
* Companion Scripts: Companion scripts further enhance the SDK by
allowing a probe developer to combine a command-line probe and a script
that it runs (the "companion script") in a single file. This makes it
easy to distribute probe files, as well as ensuring that the version of
the script matches the version of the probe. For further information,
please refer to the Companion Scripts topic in the Developer Guide.
* Combined InterMapper/DataCenter installer: The installer for Mac and
Windows installs both InterMapper and InterMapper DataCenter; there is
no separate IMDC installer. The InterMapper Control Center task bar menu
and dialog can start, stop, and report on the status of each application
separately; the task bar menu can also launch the InterMapper DataCenter
web interface.
* Diagnostic tools:
o SNMPWalk GUI: Right-click on a device to perform a SNMPWalk
on the device and see the resulting data.
o The "Report a Bug..." choice in the Help menu has an option
for attaching Event or Debug log files.
* Command-line probe macros: The ${CSCRIPT} and ${PYTHON} macros
evaluate to the full path to the (Windows) cscript.exe and the built-in
Python interpreter, respectively. These make it easier to create probes
that "just work" without worrying about environment variables. For
further information, please see the Custom Probe Variables topic in the
Developer Guide.
* NTCREDENTIALS Header Flag: The NTCREDENTIALS Header Flag in
command-line probes tells InterMapper to elevate its credentials using
the username and password found in the NT Services server settings panel
during the time the command line probe is running. For further
information, please see the Parts of a Probe topic in the Developer Guide.
For a complete list of new features, please visit the "What's New" page
and read the relevant documentation in the User and Developer Guides.
You'll find links to both further in this message.
As always, thanks for your interest and enthusiasm for InterMapper.
