Dartware LLC has released InterMapper 4.0 and InterMapper Remote 4.0, the latest versions of its network monitoring and alert software. The new versions gain numerous enhancements and changes.
| <?php virtual(“/includes/boxad.inc”); ?> |
Intermapper's network monitoring software helps you create a network map, giving you a live view of what's happening on your network. Color-coded statuses tell you what's up and what's down. A variety of map layout options and icon choices help bring your unique IT environment to life. About Intermapper. Intermapper network management software detects your devices, monitors their network health and spots slowdowns, if any. It sends you email, text or sound alerts whenever the performance thresholds are exceeded; thus you can fix the problem right away. InterMapper is a cross-platform, network monitoring, and network mapping program. InterMapper is an easy to configure and fully featured management tool and is integrated with FlowsTM, a robust NetFlow analyzer.
Designed for network administrators and system managers who need to maintain a visual idea of what’s happening on their network, InterMapper can tell you how network traffic is flowing, along with detailed information on routers, switches, hubs and other SNMP-compliant devices that are attached.
InterMapper 4.0 now supports Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP, along with Mac OS X and “Classic” Mac OS. Dartware is working on versions for Unix and Linux as well.
The software now features a “Map Status” probe that enables you to view sub-maps whose contents can then be manipulated with InterMapper Remote. You can also configure multiple devices with a single action using “Aggregate Actions.” And almost every aspect of operation on an InterMapper server can now be configured remotely using InterMapper Remote.
Dartware also claims that with Map Status, InterMapper is more scalable — you can place InterMapper servers on remote locations and monitor them from a network operations center, minimizing traffic and thus decreasing server load. InterMapper 4.0 also gains enhanced remote network monitoring with security.
InterMapper licenses start at US$295 and scale upward depending on how many devices you want to add. Support subscriptions provide you with free updates, enhancements and bug fixes for a one year period. More details and demo links are available from the InterMapper Web site.
Net::Intermapper::Device - Interface with the HelpSystems Intermapper HTTP API - Devices
Net::Intermapper::Device is a perl wrapper around the HelpSystems Intermapper API provided through HTTP/HTTPS for access to device information.
All calls are handled through an instance of the Net::Intermapper class.
Class constructor. Returns object of Net::Intermapper::Device on succes. Attributes are:
Name of the map containing the device.
Full path of the map containing the device, including the name of the map.
The IP or AppleTalk address of the device that is probed by InterMapper. The IP address is represented in dotted-decimal notation, e.g. 'a.b.c.d'. The AppleTalk address is represented in slash notation, e.g. 'a/b'.
A unique, persistent identifier for this device instance. The Id will be unique across all maps on a single InterMapper server. This value is used for lookups in the users method in Net::Intermapper.
The name of the device. The name is the first non-empty line in a device's label on a map.
The human-readable name of the InterMapper probe.
The comment associated with the device.
The SNMP community of the device.
True if the device's behaviour is set to display unnumbered interfaces.
The fully-qualified DNS name of the device.
True if the device's behaviour is to ignore AppleTalk interface information.
True if the device's behaviour is to ignore interface discards.
True if the device's behaviour is to ignore interface errors.
True if the device's behaviour is to ignore outages.
True if the device's behaviour is to allow periodic reprobe.
A special URL representation describing the InterMapper probe and its parameters, e.g. improbe://address:port/...
The latitude of the device. The value will be a double within the range [-90..90] or empty string if the device does not have this attribute set.
The longitude of the device. The value will be a double within the range [-180..180] or empty string if the device does not have this attribute set.
The time when the device last went down. Value is 0 if device has not gone down since we started monitoring it.
The time when the device last came up (ie rebooted), based on the value of sysUpTime. The value is 0 if unknown.
The time when the device status last transitioned from DOWN to UP. Value is 0 if this has not happened since we started monitoring.
The device's MAC Address. If the device has multiple interfaces, this field will contain the MAC Address associated with the device's main IP Address (the same address in the address field).
Value is one of { ROUTER , SWITCH , HUB, END SYSTEM }
The unique Id of the map file containing the device.
The maximum number of attempts to reach the device, typically indicates the maximum number of packets to send during each poll, for packet-based probes.
The NetBIOS/WINS name of the device.
The percent loss (# packets lost/total # packets sent).
The short-term percent loss (# packets lost/# packets sent).
The percent availability (time up/time monitored).
The poll interval of the device, in seconds. Value is 0 if non-polling.
The UDP or TCP port number. If the port number is not applicable, this value is always 0. (e.g. for ICMP)
Value is one of { name , addr , none }.
Intermapper Snmp
The last round-trip time in milliseconds, if known.
The device's SNMPv3 authentication password.
The device's SNMPv3 authentication protocol (MD5, SHA, None).
The device's SNMPv3 privacy password.
The device's SNMPv3 privacy protocol (DES, None).
The device's SNMPv3 user name.
The device's SNMP version (SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3).
The status of the device. The value is one of { 'UP', 'DOWN', 'UNKNOWN' }.
The status level of the device. The value is one of { 'Unknown', 'OK', 'Warning, Acked', 'Warning', 'Alarm, Acked', 'Alarm', 'Critical', 'Critical, Acked', 'Down', 'Down, Acked'}.
The reason the device has its status level.
The value of sysDescr.
The value of sysName.
The value of sysContact.
The value of sysLocation.
The value of sysObjectID.
The timeout of the device, in seconds. Value is 0 if not-applicable to the probe.
Identifier of the device in the IMID format.
One of { none, other, snmp, tcp, udp, icmp, cmd, bigbro, ntsvcs }. These values have been updated in 5.0 to match the values used by the database in the probekind field of the devices table.
XML dataset DTD, type='probe'.
