Operations Sentinel 17.0 has Arrived

We’re thrilled to announce the availability of Operations Sentinel 17.0!

The updates and enhancements included in the latest release of our feature-rich, end-to-end data center management tool make it easier to automate, consolidate, access, monitor, and manage heterogeneous systems and applications. Plus, you’ll be well equipped to facilitate anytime, anywhere remote operations, anticipate and address abnormal conditions, and reduce the resources dedicated to operations and support activities.

Operations Sentinel 17.0 makes this all possible with the help of the following key new features:

• Centralized monitoring: Instead of toggling between multiple UIs and combining information from separate displays, you now have the ability to monitor your entire ClearPath Forward® environment in a single window.
  
• UNIX/Linux Resource Monitor (ULRM) failure alerts: With the ability to report on ULRM status in Operations Sentinel – and receive an alert if it stops running – you’ll be able to quickly spot and address any issues that may prevent you from monitoring your critical UNIX® and Linux® resources.
  
• Eliminate reboots during installation: Rather than requiring users to wait through multiple reboots when Operations Sentinel is loaded onto their workstations, you can now complete the installation process without any reboots, helping them use the software sooner.
• Multi-threshold filtering: Sometimes, relying on a single property isn’t enough to know whether or not an alert should be raised. With this new feature, you can define the alert criteria for multiple thresholds, then use these to raise alerts accordingly.
  
• Report Problem tool enhancements: The Report Problem tool receives several enhancements in Operation Sentinel 17.0. Activities are now included in Application Event Logs, which enable you to detect failures during data collection. Similarly, collecting Windows memory dumps and application dumps helps you understand why an application crashed. And with the ability to enter such data as the customer name, date and time the issue occurred, and a description of the problem, you’ll improve the accuracy of log analyses.
  
• Text boxes in Topology: With this feature, you can use text boxes to display information about managed objects, helping your operators spot critical details faster.
  
• Enhanced Log consolidation: By creating a set of logs that belong to multiple managed objects – and saving them for future use – you can reduce the time it takes to consolidate logs.
