Advanced Host Monitor 10.30
New features (HostMonitor and RMA for Windows):
New test method HDD SMART
Checks hard disk health, temperature and other parameters using S.M.A.R.T. data; it can be effectively used to prevent HDD data loss
New test method Interfaces status
This test allows you to check all or some specific interfaces on SNMP enabled device (server, router, etc). HostMonitor may warn you when network interface goes down or changes its administrative and/or operative status
New macro variables related to HDD SMART test methods:
%Disk_Name%
%Disk_Temp%
%Disk_Hours%
%Disk_Relocated%
%Disk_Pending%
%Disk_Uncorrectable%
%Disk_SpinupTime%
%Disk_SpinupRetries%
%Disk_ErrorRate%
%Disk_Timeouts%
%Disk_AlertReason%
%Disk_AlertValue%
New macro variables related to Interfaces Status test methods:
%InterfacesDOWN_Index%
%InterfacesDOWN_Name%
%InterfacesChanged_Index%
%InterfacesChanged_Name%
Improvements HostMonitor and RMA test improvement
SSH test supports RSA keys (ssh-rsa). New code considered as experimental and disabled by default. You may enable it individually for HostMonitor or some RMA agents - add SSHMode=1 line into [Misc] section of hostmon.ini file and restart HostMonitor (modify rma.ini file instead of hostmon.ini if you want to enable this option for Remote Monitoring Agent)
When test performed by HostMonitor then %AgentAddr% variable returns "localhost" string. You may tell HostMonitor to use real IP address of the system (system where HostMonitor is running) instead: add HMIPforAgentAddr=1 line into [Misc] section of hostmon.ini file and restart HostMonitor
Improvements HostMonitor and RCC GUI improvements
If you setup HDD SMART test items then 3 new modules designed for Top Hosts pane may show oldest, hottest and worst HDD disks among all monitored systems:
oldest - disks with highest power-on days counter;
hottest - disks with highest current temperature;
most bad sectors - disks with highest number of relocated, pending and uncorrectable sectors
Improved "Choose network interface" dialog window (used by Traffic Monitor and Interfaces status test methods) and "Network interfaces" page displayed by System Info tool:
- in addition to current operative status HostMonitor retrieves and shows admin (desired) status for each interface;
- also when device has a lot of interfaces, new HostMonitor, RCC and RMA retrieve necessary data from SNMP agent faster than previous versions
Minor improvements related to RCC GUI
Improvements Web Service improvements
If you setup HDD SMART test items then 3 new modules designed for Top Hosts pane may show oldest, hottest and worst HDD disks among all monitored systems:
oldest - disks with highest power-on days counter;
hottest - disks with highest current temperature;
most bad sectors - disks with highest number of relocated, pending and uncorrectable sectors
Top Hosts pane allows you to move (drag&drop) groups, e.g. you can move "Network: slowest web site" group to the right column
Some corrections related to "multi-byte" languages such as Japaneese, Chineese, Korean
Fixed The following issue was resolved
When you create new test items (using Network Map Add or Clone operation) then HostMonitor could create new folders with invalid variable name (var_targetIP instead of fvar_targetip). Fixed
