Adding value every release

Every issue we update you on some of the latest features available in Geneos. Following are some of the new features in the latest release, version 2011.2.1.

Intraday Breach Predictor

This new feature shows predictions for threshold breaches and allows dynamic analysis of abnormal behaviour. The predicted breach time allows users to be alerted well in advance of any potential incident, so that appropriate steps can be taken.

Adaptive Rules

This feature allows known data curves to be used as the basis for rule calculations. This means that rules can be ‘adaptive’ based on prior knowledge of the daily variations in the data to which they are applied. An example might be moving a threshold to deal with known changes in trading volumes during the day.

Enhancements to Rule Functionality

The Rule Manager now includes functions that enhance the way in which Rules can be used, such as the ability to perform regular expression matching and the addition of various ‘string’ functions that allow greater flexibility when using text values.

Enhancements to Trapmon plug-in

The Trapmon plug-in (used to detect SNMP traps) has been enhanced to provide a ‘Customer Views Mode’. In this mode incoming traps are tested against a series of user-defined matchers and any traps that are successfully matched are displayed in a dataview on the basis of a new row for each incoming trap. Prior to this release, the Trapmon plug-in collected SNMP traps and published these through a stream to the FKM plug-in (File Keyword Monitoring).
