The link to the new features in version 9 is not working anymore. Any way to get it back? I know that the Custom MIB poller was overhauled to allow custom tables (yeah!) but I was curious at to what other goodies are coming.
Bo
can you post the link?

I'm not sure that it had all the upcoming features listed- maybe its being edited at this time???
this link works for me

looks like that link is only for 8.5.1 notes not 9.0
There are lots of smaller features, but the two main features are these: We "retired" the Custom MIB Poller so that we could replace it with a completely new tool, the Universal Device Poller. The Universal Device Poller polls MIB Tables (or really columns, in tables). You can "Transform" data by converting single values (e.g., Celsius to Fahrenheit) or by combining data from multiple columns in a MIB table or different columns in different tables.
Will this still require a study of OIDs to use? Or, will SolarWiinds be granting the Orion user a simpler tool to acquire monitorable data?Honestly, I don't find the current system "friendly".
If by maintenance interval, you mean "unmanage", then yes, you can unmanage and re-manage via the web console. The new custom poller is definitely easier, but you still have to know OIDs or MIBs. I'm not crazy about that fact, but that's the nature of SNMP.
This sounds great! I know V9 is in beta now, any idea (ballpark) when it will ship? I've got lots of projects coming up between now and the end of the year, and I'd like to include an Orion upgrade in them :-)
We updated some icons in Map Maker, but no big changes otherwise. We are, however, planning to focus on Map Maker in the subsequent release.
