2. View the domain controller dashboard in VM snapshot page.
3. Apply warning and error thresholds across multiple ESX hosts and VMs using Device templates.
4. NFS datastore reports are added for ESX v 4.1. Generate reports such as Disk Read Speed, Disk Write Speed, Write Latency, etc. on datastore.
5. Discover VMs also using the 'Add Device" option under the "Admin" tab.
6. Get more meaningful and actionable SNMP Traps by processing every Varbind with intelligent processor.
7. Port/ Interface monitoring has been enhanced for better performance.
8. Embed OpManager dashboard widgets as iframes into other sites
9. Network rediscovery now shows split–up of already discovered devices and new devices count.
10. Web client page loading time is now displayed in every page.
11. Options are included to change the Traffic Counter (32/ 64 bit) at individual interface level.
12. Interface parameter (ifalias) can be updated in OpManager by performing interface rediscovery operation.
13. UTF–8 Unicode is now supported in OpManager.
14. UPS interface details are monitored and shown now.
Issues Fixed
1. SNMP socket timeout issue which resulted in SNMP data collection failures at times has been fixed.
2. An issue of the dashboard tab not displayed in the maps list view, is fixed now.
3. Notification not sent when certain monitors in Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 exceeded the threshold point has been fixed.
4. Downtime scheduler for business view with VoIP monitors is handled.
5. Thresholds related to non–numeric monitors would stop working once the service is restarted – This issue is fixed now.
6. Issue in monitoring non numeric monitors when associated from device templates is handled.
7. Support request with attachment can now be sent from the support page.
8. Issue in listing of ServiceDesk category and sub category details in "Log a ticket" notification profile for non-English environment is handled.
9. Issue when selecting and editing the monitors for Printer, UPSs and Virtual Devices from notification profile is handled.
10. Switch port mapping issues when one or more switches are discovered simultaneously, is handled now.
11. Failover configuration now includes "Retry" option to help customize based on your network.
12. Generic error messages in failover email notification have been replaced with precise messages to troubleshoot faster.
13. Deletion of SNMPv3 devices resulting in stray entries has been handled.
14. Traps sometimes fall under unsolicited category though the trap parsers are created. This issue has been addressed.
15. A dual entry with actual value and zero, leads to wrong monitoring data display. This has been fixed.
16. Partial monitors associated for an interface in certain situations has been handled.
17. When any monitored network device is restarted, a spike in data occurs. This leads to wrong standard metrics values like min, max or average. This issue has been addressed.
18. Real time monitoring often spikes up for 64 bit devices - This issue has been fixed.
19. Values configured in OpManager were not considered in real time monitoring for interfaces. This is now fixed.
20. Errors and Discards data show wrong values for some of the 64 bit devices. This is fixed now.
21. When we modify any 32 to 64 bit network device or vice versa, reports for all the interfaces will not be shown. This issue has been addressed.
22. Interface "display name" and "ifdescr" in the device page is merged for a clear view and to avoid confusion. Options to modify and retain the same are also made available.
23. IE8 and Chrome browser related issues are fixed.
