PerformanceGuard® 7.2 Release Notes

Release date: 2017, XXX yyth

What's New in the Server?


This release introduces one new widget:

BTM

This widget Makes it easy to graphically compare metrics for Business Transaction Monitoring (BTM) across individual computers and locations

New Built-In Dashboards

Any one?

XXX overview

This dashboard provides a quick overview of application performance. Just select from the list of defined applications, and you are ready to go. The performance of an application can be viewed for locations as well as individual computers.

Miscellaneous Improvements

Custom Counter Templates

We have added a set of templates for easier configuration of Windows Performance Counters.

Computer Info

The Computer Info widget now includes Vendor, Model and BIOS version of the selected computer, provided that you upgrade your PerformanceGuard agents to version 7.1.

Widget Renamed

The Computer Performance widget has been renamed to Computer Usage to avoid it being confused with other widgets.

Widget Improvements

The zoom out functionality has been greatly improved to allow fast zoom out.

Moving the mouse over a data series on a graph, or its label below the graph, will highlight the series.

Search for Computers

On dashboards that use a computer as input, it is now possible to search for computers by:

  • Computer name
  • User logged in
  • Location
  • Subnet 
  • Agent group

Dashboard revisions

PerformanceGuard maintains a history for each dashboard, by registering the modifying user and the date at which a dashboard is saved. Administrators are able to revert to any previous version of the dashboard

Browser Support

This version is supported in both Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 as well as Google Chrome.

We recommend using Google Chrome when accessing PerformanceGuard, because this browser is much faster than Internet Explorer 11
