|
Title: Make sm.conf always read-only user defined
|
Platform: All
|
Area: Agent
|
Type: Feature |
| |
Currently the sm.conf file is always changed to read-only after save. A new General configuration option will allow the user to maintain this behaviour or elect to just maintain the current permissions. The default will be always_readonly=true. |
|
| |
Example:
 |
|
| |
|
ID: 688
|
Title: Compute percent change
|
Platform: All
|
Area: Agent
|
Type: Feature |
| |

percent change = ((current - previous) / previous1) * 100
1 If previous = 0, then 1 is used |
|
| |
Example:
 |
|
| |
|
ID: 694

| |
|
ID: 676
|
Title: Cookie based session tracking
|
Platform: All
|
Area: Agent Web
|
Type: Feature |
| |
Cookie-based session tracked is used rather than source-IP as in previous versions. This makes the agent more robust in situations where all clients are viewing an agent through a firewall and therefore will appear to have the same IP. |
|
| |
|
ID: 660
|
Title: Alarm priorities
|
Platform: All
|
Area: Alarms
|
Type: Feature |
| |
Alarm priorities can be assigned such that if more than one alarm is detected against the same resource, the alarm with the hightest priority will remain and those with lower priorities will be auto-cleared. |
|
| |
Example:
 |
|
| |
|
ID: 700
|
Title: Alarm Catagories
|
Platform: All
|
Area: Alarms
|
Type: Feature |
| |
Alarms can be assigned a category, which is displayed in the agent and forwarded to the repository. This allows for alarms to be organized by the user. |
|
| |
Example:
 |
|
| |
|
ID: 701
|
Title: Alarm Blackout Days
|
Platform: All
|
Area: Alarms
|
Type: Feature |
