Hi Everyone,

I’m pleased to announce that Dashboard v5.42.5 and Agent v9.5.5 are being released overnight, so that they will be available in advance of the working day tomorrow, Tuesday 6^th of May. With this release, Agent v.9.5.5 replaces Agent v.9.4.0 as the production agent on GA and becomes available for auto-update.

I’m also delighted to mention that we are adding 250 new SNMP checks to our SNMP checks library, for vendors such as Dell, Intel and Fujitsu Siemens and covering devices such as RAID disks and NAS boxes. Full details of the new SNMP checks will be available from the help file (look for the “System SNMP” page in the “SNMP Check” section).

In addition, the help file now also offers a special script check that allows customers to monitor for agent installs of other RMM vendors, offering a heads-up for potential competitor activity within your customer base. Please refer to the “Script Check” section under “24×7 Checks” in the help file for details.

Full release notes for Dashboard v5.42.5 and Agent v9.5.5 (GA) are below. The accompanying release video is here.

Thanks,

Brian Mackie
Product Manager @ GFI MAX
