Problems when sending alert messages from Monitor one using SMTP (port 25)
Some virus scanning software provide the possibility to block port 25 (SMTP) for all software except the commonly used email clients as Outlook and Outlook express etc. For sending email alerts, Monitor one uses its own SMTP software. If you're using virus scanning software on the station that runs Monitor one and you're experiencing the problem described, check your virus scanning software and eventually disable the filtering option. We've seen problems with "VirusScan Enterprise 8.0.0" from McAfee!
Monitor one and hyper-threading enabled hardware sometimes do not play well together.
We've seen that on some workstations/servers with "Hyper-threading" enabled, Monitor one doesn't run smoothly. If hyper-threading is switched off in the BIOS then everything works fine again.
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.
