Boole & Babbage, Inc. this week announced a new release of its Command/Post agent technology that monitors service levels on servers, middleware, databases and applications.
Release 3.5 of the Command/Post Power Modules provides new performance and availability statistics, extended service management rules, extended remote alert management, push-based configuration management and a new agent architecture.
For performance and availability, Release 3.5 includes an SNMP MIB browser and statistical functions to enable trending, averaging, high and low values, and local data storing. It also includes more than 50 preconfigured rules for monitoring network, system and application service levels.
Remote alert management extensions include accumulation thresholds, time delay, time window trigger, store and forward, and multiple target capabilities to help ensure that alerts are delivered to the appropriate destination.
Push-based configuration lets users centrally reconfigure Power Modules without taking them off-line; and the new Power Module agent architecture minimizes implementation time by sharing a common core technology for alerting, command interaction data storing and automation.
Power Modules 3.5 support SAP R/3, IBM MQSeries and Microsoft Corp. MSMQ applications, and run on Unix, Windows NT, NetWare and OS/2 operating systems. They are available now for $500 per single server.
