Hi Bernd - Thanks for the feedback -- this is just the sort of thing I'm after.
I hadn't considered the visible/hidden interfaces, but I'm sure it can be handled. I'll add that to the list of requirements. Re: connected device? Yeah - I can see how that would be useful. Doesn't seemed to be in the Interfaces Export. I'm just skimming it right now, so maybe it's there. If anyone knows how this is possible, I'd love the pointer. Visually I guess Dartware link things up by the subnet 'cloud' to get around that -- so that may be a compromise: show all devices in the same subnet/etc. The NetworkId attribute seems to be the common thread there, so I'll see what I can do. A question though: I assert that users probably don't want to use the iPhone interface for 'in-depth' intermapper work... E.g. It's a "what's wrong" tool, which you use to find out how bad a problem is/etc. So with that in mind (if you agree), I suggest you wouldn't want to see every (visible) interface when you browse a device. So what criteria would be relevant to have them in the focus list? - status (e.g. Down) - utilisation? Does this need to be a configurable threshold? And what do you wish to see about an interface? On the summary list (say on the Device Detail page) and on the Interface Detail screen? Would you want to see interfaces independent of a device? E.g. Is a dedicated tab needed? OR would you only check interfaces if a device showed an alarm. And again - what info should be shown there? ---- I've added you to my beta testers list, and will get in touch hopefully in around 2-3 weeks. Thanks again for the feedback. /Mark On 24/02/10 9:07 PM, "Bernd Janke-Wohltmann" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Mark, > > first let me say that I am very excited about an iPhone App for > InterMapper. > > We do most of our time networking - so here are my 2cent. > > When we dran infrastucture map - we HIDE all interfaces we don´t want > to see > -> so every shown interface is important. > > You never know in advance what you are looking for if you investigate > a problem. > -> All details should be available at the App > > I guess I would like to select the infrastuctructrue device - and get > a list > of shown interfaces like the map. > > It would be VERY cool to get the info about the connecged device in > the map..... > > Is it possible to test the beta in March? > > > Am 24.02.2010 um 08:43 schrieb Mark Mackay: > ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [email protected]
