Folks: Dartware is pleased to announce the availability of InterMapper 5.3.1. This release is a no-cost upgrade for everyone whose maintenance contract is currently in force.
CHANGES SINCE 5.3: - Fixed a crash while advancing context using community-string-indexing on some Cisco switches. - Fixed errors when importing certain notifications logged close to an InterMapper server restart. Please see the Release Notes for a complete list. InterMapper 5.3.1 brings a host of new features, including: * Better performance when handling maps with many hidden interfaces: InterMapper's handling of maps with thousands or tens of thousands of interfaces has been revamped to be much faster and crisper. These maps used to take many minutes to open; they should now be nearly instantaneous, and they should be much more responsive once open. * More powerful interfaces window: The interfaces window is now modeless, which means that you may have many open at the same time, and that you may still work with your maps while those windows are open. In addition, the windows are updated at each polling interval so that the data is now live, rather than static. You can now acknowledge and unacknowledge interfaces and can toggle "Allow Periodic Reprobe" behavior from the interfaces window. * Many behind-the-scenes improvements in exporting to the InterMapper Database and InterMapper DataCenter: There are many behind-the-scenes changes to the way InterMapper exports data to the InterMapper Database to improve performance and reliability, especially to prevent the act of exporting from affecting the primary monitoring function of InterMapper. There are also changes to InterMapper DataCenter to improve performance and reliability. * Localization: InterMapper is now available in Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. The Preferences contain a Language Options panel from which you can choose the language you want to use in the user interface. In InterMapper Datacenter, the first-start wizard includes a locale chooser, with a corresponding chooser on the Settings page. * InterMapper RemoteAccess license pool: You may want a number of users to access an InterMapper server through InterMapper RemoteAccess, but not all users need to connect at once. You can now purchase InterMapper RemoteAccess "license pool" licenses and apply them to the InterMapper server. Unlicensed copies of InterMapper RemoteAccess can then connect to the server until all licenses are in use. Additionally, the Remote Server panel of the Server Settings dialog now allows an admin user to see a list of connected clients and to disconnect specific clients if necessary. * Simplified hide/show/deletion of interfaces: InterMapper no longer distinguishes between hiding and deleting an interface on a map, removing the need to answer a potentially confusing question when you attempt to remove an interface. When you select and remove an interface, it is taken off the map, but it is still available in the Interfaces window. A contextual menu in the Interfaces window allows you to remove it permanently. (NB: Interfaces removed this way may come back at the next full reprobe of the parent device, just as they do now.) * Integrated wireless probes: The wireless probe bundle is no longer a separate purchase. All wireless probes are now part of the built-in bundle, and the probes are available for inspection, modification, and use as examples for your own probes. (If you currently have a wireless license, 5.3 will combine your wired and wireless license counts into a single count to apply to all devices regardless of family.) * InterMapper Flows now has a 64-bit Windows version, to support much larger RAM caches. In addition, it has also been localized to Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese; has improved port filtering; and has numerous small bug fixes. * A large number of printing, probe, GUI, and notifier features.
