Below is a short checklist that guides you through the process of easily and quickly setting up basic health- and performance monitoring for servers and workstations running Microsoft windows and SNMP-Informant agents.
Requirements
- Average or Good knowledge of Monitor one!
- A Monitor one station (running version FP1.75.315 Beta or higher) connected to the network.
- SNMP-Informant-STD (Standard edition) agent installed! The pck file below was built using SNMP Informant-STD v1.3. To download this SNMP-Informant agent Follow this link
Follow these steps:
- Download the Monitor one Class file: WindowsINFORMANT.zip (see below) and save it to a temporary location on the Monitor one station.
- Unzip the Class file. (The zip file contains the Monitor one Class file: WindowsINFORMANT.pck)
- Import the WindowsINFORMANT.pck in Monitor one. (Switch to Designer mode, Select Edit|Manage classes, right-click anywhere on the Manage classes window and choose Import a class Package, browse to the *.pck file and click open).
- Add a device representing your server with the SNMP-Informant agent to the network map (assign the imported class), right-click it and start monitoring!

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.
