This is a maintenance release, with new features introduced, and bugs fixed.
Monitors
- Custom SNMP Trap monitors: SNMP v3 traps are now supported
Templates
- Templates have been added for MS Exchange 2013 application; added to “Other Applications and Services” category
Client Application and Monitoring Service
- HTTP(S) monitor now does not report SSL errors for valid site certificates, when “Ignore HTTPS (SSL) errors” option is turned off
- Improved stability of monitoring service, in case when monitors hang for a very long time
- Support for the following variables has been added:
$WindowsDomain : string$WindowsUser : string$WindowsPassword : string (password as plain text)$UnixUser : string$UnixPassword : string (password as plain text)$UnixAuthType : string, one of ‘password’, ‘key’ or ‘key_or_password’$UnixKeyPath : string (path to private key file)$UnixKeyPassphrase : string$SNMPVersion : string, one of ‘v1’, ‘v2c’ or ‘v3’$SNMPCommunity : string$SNMPv3Authentication : string, one of ‘none’, ‘md5’ or ‘sha1’$SNMPv3User : string$SNMPv3Password : string (password as plain text)$SNMPv3PrivacyProtocol : string, one of ‘none’, ‘des’ or ‘aes’$SNMPv3EncryptionKey : string
These variables are available in monitors and actions that use corresponding types of credentials. For example, you can pass `$WindowsDomain`, `$WindowsUser` and `$WindowsPassword` as command-line parameters to the script in Script or Program monitor. This way you reuse credentials defined for IPHost when invoking external scripts/programs and there is just one place to define them.
When a variable is undefined or irrelevant for monitor type used, it is not expanded by IPHost.
