2011: A NerveCenter Engineering Year in Review

Tweet

 

This past year was a busy one for us in NerveCenter Engineering.  We finished up several releases and added a number of enhancements to provide a more sophisticated, robust solution for building a Network Management solution.

Here are some of the hightlights as we in engineering see things:

• New analytics that let you see what your NerveCenter server is doing - I love this one, makes things so much easier to know what is going on.  I especially like the ability to grab the log data from client without needing to log into the NerveCenter Server at all.
• Updated Perl modules supported
• Support for newest releases of Windows Server 2008R2 and Windows 7
• Major enhancements for polling - including AddVarBind - user definable varBinds for use in Polls and building Alarms.
• New and Improved ICMP and SNMP query tools including MIB Browser. - we all love this one.  I actually like the TTL features on ICMP query too.  Comes in handy when checking out system behaving a bit oddly.
• Per Node timeout and retry controls
• Payload sizing for ICMP polls.  Who doesn't love that.
• Improvements to autostart with new automated scripts.  No need to setup or source anything.
• A revved up Polling engine for the NerveCenter Server - enough said.

Next Year should be even more exciting.  Looking forward to sharing it with you.
