Can we use the 5.3 remoteAccess? If we need to go to the new Bete release remoteAccess, will it work on our current production 3.5.7 Intermapper?
Thanks -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christopher Sweeney Sent: Monday, December 27, 2010 12:20 PM To: InterMapper Discussion Subject: [IM-Talk] InterMapper 5.4b3 Available Folks: The first public beta test version of InterMapper 5.4b3 ("Froglet") is now available. It contains several new features and many bug fixes. We would be delighted to have you use it and send us comments and bug reports. MAJOR FEATURES: * InterMapper Reports: InterMapper now includes InterMapper Reports for creating reports from the data in InterMapper Database. With it, you can generate quick reports directly from InterMapper devices or use the web-based report generator, create and save report views, generate links suitable for sending reports to others, and print reports to printers. * InterMapper Layer 2: InterMapper has added a Layer 2 view to the types of map views available. If a map contains at least one SNMP-enabled switch, the Layer 2 view displays the switches, NICs by manufacturer, and VLANs by tag from the map. In addition, InterMapper can optionally use this information when available to connect devices on the map to the appropriate switch ports. MINOR FEATURES: HTTP Follow Probe: This probe extends the standard HTTP probe to allow following a limited number of page redirects to the same HTTP server. * Import/Export of Helper Apps: You can now import and export Helper App configurations in the InterMapper GUI or InterMapper RemoteAccess from the File menu or from the Helper Apps "Customize" screen. * Drag Between Maps: You can now drag items from one map's list view to another map's list view or icon view. * More logs available in Bug Reporter: The Bug Reporter will now allow you to attach InterMapper Switches, InterMapper Reports, InterMapper Database, and InterMapper Authentication Server logs along with the usual Debug, Event, and Outages logs to bug reports in situations where the GUI or server can access them. * More icons available for use in maps: We have added a large number of icons in several categories to the built-in icons. * New look to InterMapper RemoteAccess Map List, Helper Apps windows: The Map List and Helper Apps windows now include buttons at the bottom to add, remove, get info about, and perform other operations. In addition, you can optionally add device count columns to the Map List window by clicking on the right arrow next to the current columns. * Upgrade check and installer improvements: In order to help users avoid the pain of upgrading to a version of InterMapper for which they have no license, the upgrade checks and the Mac and Windows installers will compare the manufacture date of new versions against the expiration of the currently installed license and only allow upgrade if the license will allow the new version to run. (This check will work as long as 5.3.7 or later is the already-installed version.) * Downgrade protection: InterMapper will use an improved algorithm for backing up maps to make it easier to go back to an older set in the case where a user desires to "downgrade" to an earlier version of InterMapper. * Numerous small enhancements and bug fixes: As always, we have made small enhancements and bug fixes too numerous to list here. Please review the release notes for the complete list. KNOWN ISSUES: * (Reports) When printing from Firefox, Safari or Chrome, charts will show up empty. (Printing tables should work.) * (Reports) There may be some visual "glitches" at the bottom of the window, especially when resizing. * (Reports) When you bring up any view that initially shows a chart, particularly those reached from an IM right-click, then switch the display to table, the table will appear empty. A work-around is to link to the view after switching to table, and use that link. As long as it starts out in table display, switching back and forth is fine; it's only a problem if it starts with a chart. * (Reports) If you have created a saved view in which the new status column is sorted, the setting is saved properly, but the column will not appear sorted when you load that view. * (Reports) Although the current table page is saved, and is set when the view is loaded, a bug in the grid plugin we're using means that it continues to show the first page of data regardless of what the setting says. You have to click back/forward once before it shows the correct data. * (Layer 2) After autodiscovery or enabling of Layer 2, it will take some time (5-15 minutes) before Layer 2 has had the opportunity to gather enough information to connect devices to switch ports. OTHER NOTES: Please refer to the "What's New" page and the Release Notes for a complete list and description of the new features and bug fixes. OTHER NOTES: Please note: THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE! We recommend that you do not install this InterMapper 5.4 beta release 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. Having said all that, we deeply appreciate your willingness to try out this version. Your feedback gives us a lot of insight into the problems of people who manage real networks. Thanks again. The InterMapper Team PS. Why "Froglet"? 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/images/cain4075.jpg LINKS: Download: http://www.intermapper.com/download-intermapper?release=beta Release Notes: http://www.intermapper.com/intermapper-beta-release-notes What's New: http://www.intermapper.com/whatsnew54 -- ================================= Christopher L.
