New Monitor one users
If you are a new Monitor one user we recommend to install the latest Monitor one version for evaluation purposes. Note that without a license key Monitor one runs is evaluation mode, with no time restrictions whatsoever. The evaluation mode allows you add 8 device objects. There is no functional difference between running in evaluation mode and normal mode - it's the same software! Without a purchased license key, only the number of devices that can be added to the network map and can be monitored is limited! After installation checkout the Forums for known problems, workarounds or tips and tricks.

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.
