InterMapper RemoteAccess 5.1.7b2 - 4 December 2009

InterMapper® 5.1.7b1 - 9 November 2009

  • [BUG FIX] Fixed an issue in InterMapper Control Center on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) where the "run at startup" setting for InterMapper Server was cached in an OS file, leading to inconsistencies. If you used the Start button in InterMapper Control Center to start InterMapper on Snow Leopard, you may need to clear the cached value after upgrading to this version. To do so, open a Terminal and type "sudo defaults delete /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd/overrides com.dartware.InterMapperServer"

  • [LATERAL] IMDatabase Added more logging for maintenance tasks, making it easier to see when they are running.
  • [BUG FIX] IMDatabase Restoring from a backup now waits for any remaining database activity to finish, to avoid conflicts.
  • [BUG FIX] IMDatabase Editing a custom user's CIDR-ADDRESS in pg_hba.conf no longer makes that entry disappear the next time the user list is saved.
  • [BUG FIX] IMDatabase When restoring from a database backup, unmodified pg_hba.conf entries for custom users are now properly restored.

InterMapper DataCenter 5.1.6b3 - 11 September 2009

  • No changes since 5.1.6b2.

InterMapper® 5.1.6b2 - 3 September 2009

  • [BUG FIX] Fixed a crash that could occur when a version of the InterMapper GUI or IMRA earlier than 5.1 attempted to set the probe on a probe group, or when a probe group was part of a mass execution in the 5.1 version of the InterMapper GUI or IMRA. (74603, 74809)
  • [BUG FIX] Address field text should have whitespace trimmed off ends. (74883)
  • [BUG FIX] Re-implemented IMDatabase export of datapoints using asynchronous I/O. This makes it much faster. Linux 2.4 kernels and aio-less FreeBSD kernels still use synchronous reads.

  • [BUG FIX] Fixed an obscure bug which caused an assertion to fail when more than one compression stream was active simultaneously.
  • [BUG FIX] The Chart Data folder on Mac OS X has been renamed to include .noindex. This small change improves IMDatabase performance when there are many chart data files, due to the way that Spotlight processes files when they are closed. There is now a symbolic link pointing to the new Chart Data directory.
  • [BUG FIX] If ungrouping a probe group would cause the user to exceed their licensed device limit, set the map to non-polling immediately, as we do for paste. (74882)

  • [BUG FIX] Slight correction to sorted order of member probes to prevent longer similar probes from sorting before shorter ones (LDAP-SSL vs. LDAP, e.g.). (73908)
  • [BUG FIX] When resetting recent outages on a device which participates in shared polling, ensure that its master device recent outages are reset as well. (73941)
