Here are the descriptions of the key enhancements and fixes in the latest 9.0.17 version:

1) New Agent and Agentless Logon/Logoff monitoring and reporting;
o monitor and report on interactive User Logon/Logoff activity for Windows;
o monitor servers & workstations with a deployed Windows Agent, or optional Agentless monitoring of remote servers & workstations using one or more deployed Windows Agents to monitor these remote, Agentless servers & workstations;
o each Agent can handle monitoring up to 500 remote, Agentless servers & workstations;
o new ‘User Logon/Logoff Data’ Report in ‘Run/Analyze & View’ and ‘Schedule Periodic’ Reports;
o new User Logon information in the pop-up tool-tips in ‘System Monitor’ and ‘Network Status’ displays;

2) Fix Agent to suppress any Windows error pop-up prompts if it ever tries to access a drive with removable storage such as a floppy drive;

3) Enhance Agent to track and log its own CPU and Memory use for diagnostic purposes;

4) Enhance MonitorIT Server and Agent to free its “send” buffer after any operation that uses a buffer larger than 512 bytes for more efficient memory use;

5) Enhance the ‘Watch/Alert Dependency’ option on the ‘Schedule’ tab in ‘Configure->Watches/Alerts’ for ServerWatch type watches with a new option to specify a Watch name that can include the &N and &G macros to resolve the name down to a dependent Watch based on the name of the Server or the Group it belongs that is causing the alert condition;

6) Fix a ‘memory fault’ in updating Agents via ‘Manage Agents’;

7) Fix ‘Configure->Group’ edit to inhibit changing the Group type (‘Primary’ & ‘Secondary’); also fix a problem in ‘Assign Servers’ where you could not uncheck a server once it was checked;

8) Fix problem with truncating the SNMP Trap VB data at a max of 256 characters when writing to the database; the new max is 1024;

9) Fix problem where an ‘Agent’ alert for Disk, Memory or Page File threshold did not log the ‘Notified’ state, and thus the report was not correct regarding ‘Notified’;

10) Fix problem with the ‘Alert Notifications->ServerWatch’ report if a large Email Subject was specified as part of the alert information; it caused a data truncation error when reading this from the database and aborted the ‘ServerWatch’ aspect of the report;

11) Change Disk threshold alerts so that the Severity on the ‘Network Status’ display is Critical Red if the free space is less than one-half the threshold and Severe Maroon if less than the threshold;

12) Self-monitoring of the MonitorIT Server’s working set memory use and auto-restart if use exceeds 225000 for more than 10 minutes;

13) New ‘Logoff’ button for the ‘console’ so that you can exit and login with different user credentials without having to exit any other open IE windows;

14) Fix a couple of problems with the #IF TIME… conditional email address feature; previously it was not resolving the &G and &N macros; add an OR option to the syntax and fix issue looking for the #END in a nested statement.
