Folks:

We are now testing an internal development version of InterMapper 5.1, and
are looking for a group of testers who are willing to try out *alpha-test*
software (it's pre-beta, it's still got some bugs, it's not for use as a
production system.)

NEW FEATURES:

- Collections: Group a number of probes for an IP address into a single
icon.
- SMS notifiers allow you to send SMS notifications directly to a cell phone
using a cellular (GSM or CDMA) modem, rather than relying on TAP or email
gateways.
- Google Earth integration: InterMapper can supply device information as a
layer to Google Earth.
- Grid Layout: There's an Arrange -> Grid layout option that lets you place
icons into an m x n grid.
- Command-line import and export of maps through the RemoteAccess GUI
- Insert Icon places a non-probed icon or image on the map
- Server Log preferences that controls the number of lines in the scrollback

The major feature of InterMapper 5.1 is Collections. A collection allows you
to:

- Group a number of probes for an IP address into a single icon.
- Add new probes to an existing collection.
- Ungroup the icons (individually, or all the members).
- Poll each member probe at its own rate, with its own settings.
- Reflect the most serious condition of all the member probes in the icon's
color.
- Get notifications when the entire collection has a problem.
- Get (separate) notifications when a member probe has a problem.
- Handle dependencies - if the "governor" probe (provisional name) is down,
no notifications will be sent for any other member probes.
- Show SNMP device and interface information based on the choice of
"governor".  


We've set up a mailing list - [email protected] - for those who
are interested in trying out this test version. To join, please send a note
to:

        [email protected]

You'll get a confirmation message and a message containing links to a
complete list of the new features, download page and documentation.

As always, thank you for your interest and enthusiasm for InterMapper!
