Advanced Host Monitor 9.90 Enterprise

• Drive Free Space test: %DiskFreeSize%, %DiskFreePercent% variables show amount of free space and percentage of free space regardless of test settings (e.g. you may setup test to check amount of free space and use variables to inform admin about amount and percentage of free space)
• Registry test allows you to check registry data using date macro variables and date expressions. Date format depends on system "short date" format; in addition HostMonitor checks for similar formats. E.g. if short date format = yy/MM/dd, then HostMonitor will translate date specified in one of the following formats: yy/m/d, yy/m/d, yy/mm/d, yy/m/dd, yy/mm/dd, yyyy/m/d, yyyy/m/d, yyyy/mm/d, yyyy/m/dd, yyyy/mm/dd
• %object2% variable can be used for Count Files test method pattern; it shows file mask used for the test
• HostMonitor records test name and test id when "Send E-Mail" action fails (just like other actions)

HostMonitor and RCC GUI improvements

• We added 3 new user permissions:
• manage shell scripts
• use Connection Manager
• change its own RCC password
• This way you may allow operator to modify test settings (and script parameters) without allowing him to change script code. Or you may allow operator to modify test settings without allowing him to change Connection Manager records.
• Note: when you update software "manage shell scripts" and "use Connection Manager" permissions will be granted to all user accounts with "configure tests/folders" permission
• RCC: if "change its own RCC password" permission granted, RCC allows operator to change its own password using menu User -> Change password (note: as before "manage user profiles" permission allows operator to manage all user accounts)
• RCC: disables some menu items depending on user rights
• "User defined variables" window allows fields resize
• Other minor improvements

Web Service improvements

• New version works faster, especially when some folders or views include thousands of test items
• Some improvements related to application-service communications
• Web Service forces Internet Explorer to use "edge" mode. Otherwise IE could switch to compatibility mode and does not work correctly

The following issues were resolved

• HostMonitor and RCC: application did not sort floating-point numbers correctly for Shell Script and Text Log test methods when items sorted by Reply field. Fixed
• HostMonitor: if ODBC Query test performed by Active RMA agent, some specific data could trigger "Not tested" test status instead of correct Bad or Ok status. Fixed
• HostMonitor: if Compare Files test performed by RMA agent and "compare time" option is disabled then "compare size" option may not work correctly. Fixed
• HostMonitor and RMA: minor tweaks for Radius test method
• Web Service: fixed some sorting issues
