InterMapper for WISPs monitors your wired and wireless networked equipment, and alerts you when it detects problems. It can monitor the critical operational statistics for popular wireless gear, as well as the health of your routers and switches, the LAN and WAN circuits, and the servers (mail, web, radius, ldap, etc) of the wired network. InterMapper for WISPs is cross-platform, working equally well on Windows NT/2/XP/2003, many distributions of Unix and Linux and MacOS X.
InterMapper Remote lets you view and configure your InterMapper for WISPs maps from remote locations, whether in your office, while on the road, or even from home.
Here are some key features of "InterMapper for WISP":
24/7 Monitoring of wired and wireless network equipment
Notifications by e-mail and pagers
No per-client software required
Easy installation and quick setup.
What's New:
Device List shows all the devices on a particular server as a list. The list shows the status, name, map name, IP address, probe type and the current and previous condition for every device on the server. The list continually receives updates about the device's state.
SNMP version 3 InterMapper can now make SNMP version 3 queries, using MD5, SHA, or None as the Authentication methods, and DES or None as Privacy methods.
All SNMP probes can use SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3 Each SNMP probe configuration window has a dropdown for selecting which version of SNMP to use in the queries. SNMP versions 1 and 2c use the read-only community string; SNMPv3 allows the user to specify the authentication and privacy methods and passwords.
New Probes for a number of different kinds of equipment:
- New UPS monitoring probes including models from: APC SmartUPS, APC AP961x (Network Management Card), BestPower, Exide, Liebert, Liebert UPS with OpenComms (Web Card), Standard UPS MIB (RFC1628), Tripplite, and Victron.
- New Wireless probes include models from: Tranzeo, smartBridges, Alvarion, Orthogon, Canopy, Ceragon, Trango, Proxim, Orinoco, and the IEEE 802.11 Wireless MIB. (For WISPerMapper customers)
- SSH probe tests a SSH server directly.
- Updated the Barracuda probe to work with the 3.3 firmware.
New Probe Picker makes it easy to select a probe from the full set. The window has two panes: the left pane has a hierarchical list of probes; the right pane shows the corresponding probe descriptions and probe parameters.
Double-click actions will run a helper application, execute a built-in menu command, or open a specified URL when a device is double-clicked. This action may be set by default for a particular probe type, and can be overridden on a per-device basis.
WINS Naming InterMapper will attempt to identify devices by a WINS name. The WINS name will be included as another option in the Smart Name used for the devices label.
System Tray icon for Windows and
Menu Bar application for OS X give an indication of the state of the InterMapper server. It allows the customer to:
- See whether the InterMapper server is running or not
- Start or stop the InterMapper server
- See the most serious condition of all the maps
- Launch the InterMapper Console application
- Restart the InterMapper service/server automatically if it ever stops running
Group Notifiers allow you to define a group of (possibly different) notifiers that should receive news about an event.
Per-User Map Access List allows you to view and set the maps a particular user may see and/or edit in a single view.
Syslog Notifier lets you send a syslog message as a notification.
Network Status Window The Status Window that appears when you click and hold (or right/control-click) on a network oval displays the devices reporting the top transmit, receive, and errors.
SNMP Walk InterMapper implements a snmpwalk command that allows the server to walk a remote device's MIB and display the output.
A number of minor enhancements:
Acknowledging a device now writes the logged-in user's name and IP address in the Event Log file along with the acknowledge message text.
Interfaces Window now allows you to set link speed on multiple interfaces at once.
Attach to... now works on multiple selections.
Add Text... window now has font styling controls. more...
Updated Web Server graphics library makes the web-based images of maps match those of the Java client. In addition, GIF files are now supported as background images.
Control-click (Cmd-click on Macintosh) on the map background will re-center the map
Control-drag (Cmd-drag) on Macintosh) on the map background will scroll the map contents within the window
Windows Certificate Authorities (CAs) will now accept InterMapper's Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs)
InterMapper will automatically detect when the 64-bit HC counters are available in the ifXTable of SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 probes and use those counters for interface traffic statistics. If they are not present, InterMapper falls back to the 32-bit counters of the ifTable.
To make it easier to drag them around, objects that are pasted into a map will remain selected.
Custom SNMP probe can set a device to Down state
Add-on Serial Number that adds a specified number of devices to the base license.
New parameters for the SNMP Trap sent as a notifier. See the Dartware MIB Tech Report for details. (4.4.2)
Chart text log files now have a header line that describes the title and columns. (4.4.2)
