New Features in Network Monitor (v7.0.0.0) - 31 May 2014

Features

NSM-87

Network Monitor 7.0 has been added as an integrated VSA module. Network monitor uses VSA > Discovery module to scan networks. Gateways are installed on remote networks using agent machines. As an integrated module, Network Monitor can now optionally trigger the creation of Service Desk tickets based on specified alarm counts. Access to Network Monitor now makes use of standard VSA authentication, user roles and user scopes. Network Monitoring licensing is handled by the VSA > License Manager. See VSA Integration for details.

Network Monitor now instructs Internet Explorer to render content on all pages using the highest compatibility mode available.

An Overview page has been added to the Network Monitor module.

NSM-88

SSH communication between gateways and the KNM server has been replaced with an SSL-based persistent connection.

NSM-880

A gateway node now displays the name of the agent machine and IP address the gateway is installed on in the right hand pane.

NSM-973

Network Monitor ‘Ticket’ actions that create tickets in Service Desk, can now be managed like any other VSA system event that creates a ticket using Ticket Request De-Dup and Ticket Request Mapping service procedures. See Source Properties for details.

A new 'Task Manager approx' option has been added to the Memory Utilization monitor. The new option calculates memory utilization using a method that approximates Windows Task Manager values.
