What Developments are coming in future versions?

Question

Being new to IPMonitor I arleady have a few bits and pieces that would be useful that aren't currently supported.

These are, monitors for Citrix and RDP, printers (the ability to see if a print server is accepting jobs) and DHCP transactions. Being able to use custom ports on a monitor as we have website that use custom ports and also some apps that use unusal ports. I don't know if its possible but some sort of monitor that can look at the responsiveness of a Java app within a webpage.

Does anyone know if a new version is due soon and what is likely to be new?

Thanks

Jon

Hi Jon,

To get a good idea of what's new in the next version of ipMonitor 9, simply have a look at this month's edition of SolarInk here:

Thanks for opening my eyes I had already created a Telnet monitor and hadn't noticed that it also said simple port monitor and you could change the port.

The problem we have currently is that there are a lot of NHS apps that are being released using many different versions of Java and one of the big problems is that when a user tries to access these sites and they are running slow they moan at us and we jump through the usual hoops and check our network and find nothing wrong we then call the national app helpdesk and they say exactly the same thing be we know full well that most of the time its these apps that are at fault, we don't have any visibility of these apps and it was just a thought whether this could be monitored at all.

Will there be any integration between the IPMonitor reports and dashboards with Orion?
