Today’s Dashboard release contains a set of customer service updates, along with an update to the Release Candidate agent. It also includes these enhancements to Active Discovery, based on great customer feedback:

• Devices with multiple NICs / MACs will now be grouped on the Connected Devices tab, so that any device connected to your network using more than one NIC will display as one, easy-to-view device.
• Multi-NIC devices expand to display all unique NIC/MAC details, making it easier to see at a glance all of the device’s NIC MAC addresses and connection status.
• Devices are grouped based on existence of Advanced Monitoring Agent for this release to ensure the validity of the device grouping.
• OSX devices that have the Advanced Monitoring Agent installed will now show this under Connected Devices.

In addition, new workstations added to the Dashboard with the latest v10.0.2 RC Agent will use the 30 minute check cycle as the new default for 24×7 Checks. Of course, any workstations added with a Monitoring Installation Template that specifies a 24×7 Check Cycle will continue to use its setting over the new default.

The release is currently rolling out across the territories so that it will be available to all customers by Tuesday, 5th of April. Here are the release notes for today’s update…
