Geomap and the SSH script alert reaction in the new LANState Pro 10.4

News, Updates 0 Comments

In the new version of the network administration and monitoring tool 10-Strike LANState Pro 10.4, we have added the ability to place host markers on the Open Street Map (OSM) geomap, bind them to addresses, and perform certain actions with them via the context menu. The geomap allows you to monitor the status of hosts, quickly determining where exactly the equipment failure occurred. The map is easily scaled and moved with the mouse along with the host markers.geo map with host markers - host network monitoring

The geomap can be displayed either in a separate window or embedded in the main one. In the first case, the window with the map can be dragged to a separate screen – it will not interfere with the work with the program in the main window.

In addition, a new reaction to the check result has been added to the program. Now you can execute SSH scripts in response to failure alerts (this also works for receiving SNMP trap and Syslog messages). You can enable the execution of bash scripts and commands via SSH on the Execute script tab of the notifications section in the monitoring check properties.

The script itself must be located in the folders of the remote machine to which the program will connect via SSH. The connection parameters are configured on the window that opens when you click the SSH connection parameters button.

 

All changes:

  • Added the interactive Open Street Map geomap with the ability to locate and display hosts on it.
  • Added a new type of reaction to a change in the check state: “Run SSH script”.
  • Added a new type of reaction to receiving an SNMP trap and Syslog message: “Run SSH script”.
  • Added the ability to send messages to several chats (channels) in instant messengers at once.
  • Added a new search rule “Any lines except” to the “Windows Event Log” check, allowing you to filter out unnecessary records.
  • Added a new option “Not changed” to the “Number of files in folder” check.
  • Now you can specify a URL in the parameters of the application that is launched when checks, syslog, and trap are signaled (for example, to perform a POST request via curl).
  • Added a new field “Host name on the map” to the “Host polling statistics” report.
  • Fixed a bug where port labels on a line could swap when moving host icons.
