What’s New At AppFirst 8/30/10 30 August 2010 | 7:12 pm

Here’s what’s new at AppFirst this week!

New Features

• Automatic Time Correction - Collector times are now corrected automatically.  If your server’s clock is incorrect, everything will still work correctly and display correct times.
• New Signup Process - We have a new signup process that is much clearer and easier to understand!
• More Links in Monitor Widgets – We’ve added more links in Monitor widgets, so it’s even easier to dig deeper into the inner workings of your infrastructure.
• Sorted Alert Trigger Names - Alert trigger names are now sorted and categorized for more efficient new alert creation.
• UX Improvements on Resolve – Improved share link, table data, and error handling.
• New Automatic Server Down Alert – We now automatically create a Server Down alert for each new server that you add.
• Help Messages – We’ve added Welcome and Help pop-up messages on Monitor, Data Flow, and Resolve, to walk new users through the solutions.
• 5-minute Option – We’ve added a new 5-minute option on the Summary widget.  Now you can see the number of alerts triggered, uptime percentage, and average response time for the last 5 minutes.
• Fractional Values Supported on Windows Performance Counters – The Windows collector now supports fractional values for Windows Performance Counters.

Bug Fixes

• Data Flow now auto-fits to browser height
• Many bug fixes on Data Flow and Resolve
• When an account expires, the user can now enter a credit card instead of having to email support
• Changed Monitor widget behavior – they now use “Show/Hide” instead of paging to show additional data
• Fixed behind-the-scenes handling of Applications to be more reliable and faster
• Added minor speed-ups to many pages
• Fixed link and added clarification to External Response Time (on a server) alert email
• Linux collector now correctly obeys the include parameter filter (you can set this on the collector settings page)
