News/Highlights
FineConnection is pleased to announce the availability of the new stable Monitor one version FP1.107.403 (January 24, 2010).
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. More...
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.
Partners who we like to work with
FineConnection has selected a couple of additional solution providers. By combining Monitor one with other value-added products, we are able to deliver to our customer base the Network Management and Monitoring solution that they ask for.
Monitor one works closely together with the PageGate messaging gateway services for sending alert messages. PageGate is rich featured third party software from NotePager.com (http://www.notepager.com). Alert messages can be delivered via the Internet (SNPP, WCTP and SMTP), modems (TAP, UCP, GSM and TONE) and direct serial connections (TAP). PageGate also supports redundant outbound connections, message rerouting on failure. We have selected PageGate as the primary product to use for sending alert messages because of the Stability, flexibility and the fact that with PageGate the Monitor one Alert Groups and Recipients functionality is kept intact.
SNMP Informant is an innovative and enabling technology, designed to breathe new life into the SNMP Management of Windows operating systems. Most technology professionals would agree that a more rigorous IT monitoring strategy better positions them to quickly diagnose problems, more easily identify trends, and supports more accurate capacity planning and budget forecasting for infrastructure upgrades. Monitor one and the SNMP Extension Agents from SNMP-Informant loaded on your windows servers are a strong combination that can assist in all these areas. We have decided to fully support SNMP Informant agents because they are the best available in the market today and they no longer rely on the unsupported perfmib.dll from Microsoft.

From Monitor one version FP1.75.315, the MIBs of the std (free) version of SNMP Informant are included in the precompiled default MIB tree! For more information and other available SNMP Informant agents see the SNMP Informant web site.
