OpManager – Hotfix4

Ontem pela manha saiu o hotfix4 para o OpManager Enterprise (versão 7 – Build 7104).

A atualização para Windows é para ser aplicado somente na Central e ao atualizar a probe pode ficar com instabilidade, isso quer dizer que a atualização nao terminou. Por que nesse caso a central repassa a atualização para Probe e nesse periodo ela fica com o serviço parado e quando voce tentar subir manualmente ele cai, tem que esperar ate que a atualização termine.

• In BusinessView, maximum number of devices in one business view is configurable
• Backup file path is made configurable
• Central and Probe login image changed
• Timeout for various operations (like ping, traceroute) increased
• Windows Service Monitor addition from Central Admin page is enhanced
• The Business View list in the dashboard is sorted
• URL monitoring enhanced to support urls with authentication
• Custom category delete option given

• In Availability reports, the business view listing and sorting based on it is included in the header
