From hraja at ro1.adiscon.com Thu Nov 4 09:30:08 2004 From: hraja at ro1.adiscon.com (Hamid Ali Raja) Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2004 13:30:08 +0500 Subject: [eventreporter] EventReporter 6.4 Final Released Message-ID: Dear Subscriber, EventReporter 6.4 Final is released. New features are offered in this build. Features: Service Changes:- ? Added new Services - MonitorWare Echo Reply and Request Services, these two services together can be used to check in real-time if MonitorWare Agents are alive. The Echo Reply service is used on each of the installed agents. Then, a central agent is using the Echo Request and instructed to poll each of the other Agents. When the Request can not be carried out successfully, an alert can be generated. The MonitorWare echo protocol ensures that always a fresh probe of the remote agent is done. ? Protect Agent against Service shutdown - This new feature has been added. When enabled, the Agent will not stop processing the internal queue when it is stopped. Please note that it will remain in the stopping state then. ? Event Log Monitor -?Enhanced error handling for event log corruption. This happens very seldom, but it can happen (Hard disk error or other unexpected problems can cause event log corruption). The event log monitor now has 3 Options to deal with corruption. 1. Ignore corrupted entries, so event log Monitor will try the event which comes after the corrupted one. 2. Retry processing from beginning this will reprocess the whole event log from the beginning. 3. Clear all events from the event log. If configured, the concerned event log and all its entries will be totally cleared. This will solve the corruption but all events will be lost. Client Changes:- ? Introduced a few usability and stability changes like - Use CTRL + S to save your settings - Move Rules & Actions up and down by using Toolbar buttons (Fast then the context menu) - Highlighting of the current selected entry in the Tree view - Reorder of the Rule & RuleSet menu. ? Expanded in Treeview - Is now saved. That means the Client will open exactly like you left it last time. ? Filter Editor - Enhanced the filter editor with a few new features. This includes copy&paste, add comments per filter and minor others. The copy&paste feature works also between different rules and filter sets. ? Handling Actions - Actions are also copy&paste able now. You can copy&paste them between rules and even rulesets if you want.

Forum: - http://forum.adiscon.com Email: - support at adiscon.com Also, if you would like to see a feature inside EventReporter6.4, just let us know. Maybe it is easy to implement.

You can download this from following link: http://www.eventreporter.com/en/Manual/ We would keep you posted as new enhancements occur. Instructions for Upgrading: The EventReporter installer automatically detects that a prior EventReporter version exists and makes an upgrade. You should get a notification box from the installer after starting the EventReporter setup that it performs an upgrade. You can also easily backup your configuration for the worst case. To do so: 1. Go to Computer Menu. 2. Choose "Export Settings to Registry-file" (Not Binary). 3. Save the registry file. So you have your configuration on the safe side if anything goes wrong.
