New Features

A number of new features have been added for this release.

New Cisco Probes

Four new Cisco probes have been added, and one has been updated:

• Catalyst 3850 - monitors from one to an entire stack of Catalyst 3850 switches.

OpenJDK 11 Java Runtime Environment

• Intermapper is now built using use OpenJDK 11.
• All JREs (Java Runtime Environments) shipped with Intermapper now use the OpenJDK 11 JRE.

Advanced Management of Alerts for Interfaces

A number of enhancements have been added to provide advanced management of alerts for interfaces.

• You can now define separate sets of default notifiers for devices and interfaces in a map. The sets are attached automatically to any new device or link that is added to the map. For existing devices or links, the settings you make here affect all but those devices and links that have been set manually to use another set of notifiers.
• For existing installations, Set devices to alarm on link down is set by default in the Device Thresholds panel of the Server Settings window.
• You can now identify down interfaces by adding ifAlias to notifier message fields.
• New check boxes have been added to Ignore Error/Discards for better clarity. You can now toggle Ignore status for an interface.
• You can now disable interface notifications.
• You can now set the delay for all device notifiers in your system at once, or in a single map. You can set the delay for all link notifiers in a map.
• You can now change device notifiers on all devices in your system at once, rather than having to set them one map at a time. You can change both device and link notifiers in a map.

Intermapper now uses TLSv1.2 (required)

Intermapper and Intermapper Remote Access now require TLSv1.2. For a list of supported ciphers, see:

Chart Data Preserved When Map is Deleted

Chart data is now moved to a Chart Data/Deleted folder when its associated map is deleted. Through this mechanism, you can recover a deleted map and its associated chart data, which, while possible, was considerably less straightforward in previous versions.

Enhancements

• Admin-level users can now set or change notifier delay options for all devices or links on a server, rather than per-map.
• Ignore Errors/Discards options have been expanded in the Interfaces window to include Ignore Transmit Errors, Ignore Receive Errors, Ignore Transmit Discards, and Ignore Receive Discards.
• Interface tables now have three new fields that you can export/import called IgnoreErrors, IgnoreDiscards, and IgnoreUtilization.

• Alarmpoint notifiers now send alerts even when no device notifier is enabled for the device, but one or more notifier is enabled for interfaces.
• When running Intermapper Flows for the first time with different versions of Intermaper server and client, Flows now runs properly.
• You can now edit a device or link acknowledgment comment by reopening the Acknowledge dialog and editing the current comment.

June 2019
