Features
Smarter SNMP Device Discovery
Network discovery now intelligently recognizes printers, routers, switches, firewalls, and UPS devices on your LAN. It applies the matching device template automatically – meaning SNMP-enabled hardware starts reporting key metrics the very moment it is discovered, with no manual configuration required.
Native PostgreSQL Monitoring
IPNetwork Monitor now includes a new PostgreSQL Database monitor utilizing the standard Postgres libpq client library. Coupled with a new PostgreSQL Database Server template, you can now easily monitor key metrics and the health of your Postgres DB servers right out of the box.
Advanced SNMP Calculations
It is now possible to combine values of two different SNMP counters into a single monitor. More specifically, you can easily calculate percentages, differences, and products using two input values, for example calculating the exact percentage of toner remaining for network printers.
Zabbix Template Import
You can now seamlessly import any Zabbix template directly from the monitoring client. The underlying framework is highly flexible; if you require support for importing templates in other formats, you can request it from our team and we can add the capability in a matter of days, without waiting for a new major product release.
Instant Alert Action Testing
The Simple Action editor now features a Send test button. This allows you to run the action immediately using sample data and view the success or diagnostic failure directly in the editor, ensuring your configuration works correctly without having to wait for a real alert to trigger.
Streamlined Discovery Reports
We have added a setting to suppress email reports when a scheduled re-discovery scan completes without finding any new network resources. Enabling this option prevents empty reports from being sent, significantly reducing unnecessary email alerts and inbox fatigue.
Enhanced Application and Device Templates
- Application Templates — existing templates have been upgraded to cover recent versions of the applications they monitor, including DB servers, web servers, Active Directory / Domain controllers, and more. Template inheritance has also been made much more flexible, now supporting template renaming and the splitting of a single template into multiple new ones for different application versions.
- Device Templates — shipped device templates have been significantly improved. We optimized the subset of monitors enabled by default, sorted them logically, and removed inaccurate hints. Furthermore, 14 new device templates and more than 170 new monitors performing smart SNMP calculations have been introduced.
Fixed issues
Monitoring Service & Agents
- Performance Optimization — resolved a performance problem in large environments containing 3,000+ active monitors. The monitor polling procedure was optimized to achieve much better performance for large monitoring bases, and the maximum number of polling threads was increased from 1,000 to 2,000.
- Orphaned Reports Fix — resolved an issue where scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly per-host reports would continue to generate even after the host object was deleted. The service now correctly stops sending reports for deleted objects.
- CPU Load Enforcement — the monitoring service and Windows remote agents now correctly enforce the Maximum CPU load (%) limit on modern operating systems. Previously, this system limit was ignored on Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and later versions.
Software Components
- Third-party tools and libraries under the hood, such as the Apache HTTP server, OpenSSL, curl, and other components, have been updated to their latest stable versions for improved security and reliability.
