About Alerting
In large networks, possibly a large number of events occur. In general, network managers only want to be alerted about major network events such as a power failure in a backbone switch or a crash of the corporate mail-server. A non-functioning printer is simply less important and can wait - especially when alerting is performed via a pager or mobile phone during the weekends. The Monitor one alerting facility called “The Alerter” allows you to define when and how to alert.
Monitor one distinguishes 6 event types:
- 1. Status events
- No response from device, Responding again, Status unknown
- 2. Threshold events
- Threshold exceeded, Below threshold value
- 3. Trap received events
- 4. Sensitivity events
- 5. Syslog message received events
- 6. Extensive Monitoring events
All event types except the Extensive Monitoring events can generate an alert!
FineConnection is pleased to announce the availability of the new stable Monitor one version FP1.106.391 (February 2008).
For superior trending and long-term analysis, Monitor one can act as a "front end" for RRD. RRD is a system to store and display time-series data. The RRD can also perfectly be used for exporting logged trending data to text files for use in spreadsheets or databases. 
If you're using HP/Compaq servers with Insight manager agents in your network, 
Monitor one provides an interface to messaging gateway systems, making it easy to send alert messages to pagers, mobile phones, PIMs and wireless devices.
The Monitor one "Desktop" option allows you to save Monitor one desktop configurations to the database for quick access later.
The new version also comes with a new licensing policy. The required license type is now only determined by the number of device objects on the network map from which you want to monitor uptime. The number of concurrently running Shooters (SNMP monitors) is now "unlimited" in all versions (was dependent of the license type!)
The new version allows you to define the font name, size and color for object labels on the network map.
