What's New In GWOS Monitor Enterprise Release 6.1
GWOS Monitor Enterprise Release 6.1 includes many improvements requested by users and strengthens the GWOS platform for monitoring heterogeneous, complex IT environments. This new release, part of the ongoing evolution of the GWOS solution stack, is available to Enterprise customers with a current subscription agreement. Selected highlights in this release include:
- Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS and Ubuntu Server 9.10 are now supported platforms. The Ubuntu Server products are increasingly popular particularly amongst mid-sized deployments. We are happy to add support for Canoncial's server products alongside the existing support for Novell SLES and Red Hat's Enterprise Linux.
- Tighter integration between the event view and state-oriented views, reducing the time to diagnose a problem anywhere in the monitored environment.
- Connect to affected systems directly from the status viewer with two clicks. This feature, subject to administrator control, enables faster remediation of detected problems by operations staff. Supports console (SSH), web-based (HTTP/HTTPS) and graphical (VNC, RDP) administration.
- Viewing all historical and performance information over arbitrary time periods. This enables customers to create dashboards that include both current and historical performance measures in a single view; making it much easier to spot aberrant behavior before it causes an outage.
- Direct web links to specific service groups, services, host groups and hosts within the portal application. This provides 'one-click' navigation back to the exact component experiencing a problem. Back-links to the monitoring system are particularly useful when included in notification messages and ticketing systems.
- Updated components including Nagios Core project 3.2. This update along with the JBoss Portal update delivered in release 6.0.1 ensures GWOS customers are able to use the best available monitoring solutions.
- Performance improvements for large systems configuration and portal interface responsiveness.
