December 2017 (5.0 build 12338)

This is a maintenance release, with new features introduced, and bugs fixed.

Monitors

  • Custom SNMP Trap monitors: SNMP v3 traps are now supported

Templates

  • Templates have been added for MS Exchange 2013 application; added to “Other Applications and Services” category

Client Application and Monitoring Service

  • HTTP(S) monitor now does not report SSL errors for valid site certificates, when “Ignore HTTPS (SSL) errors” option is turned off
  • Improved stability of monitoring service, in case when monitors hang for a very long time
  • Support for the following variables has been added:

     

    $WindowsDomain : string
    $WindowsUser : string
    $WindowsPassword : string (password as plain text)

     

    $UnixUser : string
    $UnixPassword : string (password as plain text)
    $UnixAuthType : string, one of ‘password’, ‘key’ or ‘key_or_password’
    $UnixKeyPath : string (path to private key file)
    $UnixKeyPassphrase : string

     

    $SNMPVersion : string, one of ‘v1’, ‘v2c’ or ‘v3’
    $SNMPCommunity : string
    $SNMPv3Authentication : string, one of ‘none’, ‘md5’ or ‘sha1’
    $SNMPv3User : string
    $SNMPv3Password : string (password as plain text)
    $SNMPv3PrivacyProtocol : string, one of ‘none’, ‘des’ or ‘aes’
    $SNMPv3EncryptionKey : string

     

    These variables are available in monitors and actions that use corresponding types of credentials. For example, you can pass `$WindowsDomain`, `$WindowsUser` and `$WindowsPassword` as command-line parameters to the script in Script or Program monitor. This way you reuse credentials defined for IPHost when invoking external scripts/programs and there is just one place to define them.

    When a variable is undefined or irrelevant for monitor type used, it is not expanded by IPHost.
