What’s New at AppFirst 8/6/10 7 August 2010 | 1:51 am

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

New Features

• Added Summary (Key Performance Indicator) widget – There’s a new widget on the Dashboard called Summary!  On this widget, you can see the number of alerts triggered, the uptime percentage, and the average response time for the last hour, day, week, or month.  Add this new widget to your Dashboard by clicking “Add Widget” at the top of the Monitor tab.
• Mobile App - AppFirst is now on the App Store!  Use your iPhone or iPad to monitor your infrastructure and get alerts on the go!
• Data Flow Improvements
  • Added a list of IP addresses on each node (including the External node)
  • Added historical mean and standard deviation to each node to help determine if current average response time is abnormal
  • Improved table data – when you click on a server on the graph, a table will appear with a list of all the names of processes running on that server, as well as the average response time and number of network connections for each process
  • Now you can look at historical data on Data Flow by choosing “Hour” from the menu and selecting the particular hour you want to view
• Visual improvements – We updated the look and feel of the product, especially the Dashboard.  More to come on this project in the next few weeks and months!
• UDP Socket Support - Added UDP socket support on Windows collector
• Speed improvements – General speed improvements when loading data

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug in the collector that caused response time for long running processes to be incorrect
• Fixed several Data Flow bugs
• Fixed Share link in Resolve – now it always works the way it should!
• Added better error handling if requests time out
