Major Features

• InterMapper DataCenter: We have a new product, InterMapper DataCenter, that is a framework for adding new tools. Our first component in the DataCenter is the InterMapper Auth Server, described below.
• InterMapper Auth Server: InterMapper can now use an LDAP, Active Directory, Open Directory, or Radius server to authenticate users.
  Tech Note
• Updated MacOS X Monitoring capabilities: InterMapper has updated probes that will test:
  • Xserve RAID
  • MacOS X server, showing the state of the Web, FTP, AFP, NAT, Print, QTSS, and NAT servers.
• IP SLA probes for Cisco equipment: The new Cisco IP SLA Jitter probe uses SNMP to collect the information from the RTTMON MIB in the agent, allowing you to alarm jitter, latency, and packet loss, and to chart these values.
  Tech Note
• Periodic check for updates: InterMapper can check with the Dartware update servers to notify when new versions are available.
• Improved interfaces window: The Interfaces window now displays the VLAN information as well as transmit and receive speeds. The transmit and receive speeds can also be set for links with asymmetric data rates.
• Shared Polling feature: If a device is represented on multiple maps (or appears multiple times on a single map) with identical polling parameters (probe type, polling interval, etc.), InterMapper will poll the device one time, and share the information to all the maps. This eliminates redundant polling.
• Autolayout: InterMapper has new commands to arrange the selected devices into a pleasing arrangement.
  • Organic and Tree Layouts. The Organic command lays out the current selection (or the entire map, if nothing is selected) to minimize line crossings and prevent objects from being overlaid on each other. The Tree command arranges the current selection in a tree. A sub-menu controls whether the tree should be drawn right, down, left, or up.
  • During Autodiscovery, InterMapper can use the Organic layout algorithm to arrange objects on the screen by default. The Autodiscovery dialog has a checkbox that can turn this behavior off.
• New Probes:
  • A new Single OID probe will retrieve a single variable (using the MIB variable name or its OID) and display it in the status window. In order to use the MIB variable name, you must import the corresponding MIB into InterMapper.
  • The High Threshold, Low Threshold and Range Threshold probes are a variation on the Single OID probe that compare the retrieved values to user-settable thresholds.
  • Updated probe for Barracuda Spam Filter to handle additional Barracuda models.
  • Probes for Motorola PTP400 and PTP600 wireless point-to-point radios.
  • Rearranged the probe categories in the probe selection window to Basic and SNMP.

Minor Enhancements

• UNIX functionality: All UNIX installers now create the 'intermapper' user and all UNIX packaged versions include a 'relaunch' script to automatically restart InterMapper Server after a crash.
• New "Select Adjacent" algorithm: An alt-click now selects only the leaf objects connected to the selection; a second alt-click selects everything connected to the selection. This retains the old behavior, but allows more control on the extension of the selection.
• Tool-tips in the Map List: Holding the mouse over a map name in the Map List will show the server's DNS Name/IP address and port for easy identification.
• Disable map from Map List: You can right-click on a map name in the Map List window to disable it, without opening the Server Settings window.
• Context Menu for Charts button: In the header of a map window, the Charts button has a context (right-click) menu that allows you to select a chart.
