Axence nVision 8.2 is here with new functions and improvements
New version of Axence nVision available for download!
The latest version of Axence nVision software marked as 8.2 is now available for download. The new release includes some changes which improve the software functionality and many improvements facilitating the daily work of IT professionals.
What’s new?
Version 8.2 introduces Axence nVision inventory Agents for different Linux distributions and OS X. Up until now, devices running under these systems could only be included in the inventory taking process with use of an offline scanner. It is worth remembering that, with use of SNMP, Axence nVision also allows the monitoring of parameters of Linux servers and TCP/IP services running on such machines. The software also enables the monitoring of the environment with use of temperature and humidity sensors, which helps to protect the servers against overheating/fire/flooding. Some important changes were also made in Users module. The administrator is now able to specify the hourly range of monitoring in the Agent profile, which is important in the case of devices, which are used privately by the employees after office hours. Furthermore Axence nVision in version 8.2 shows the names and sizes of attachments in the monitored e-mail messages. Network administrators can use this feature to check whether an e-mail was used for strategic data leakage. Another interesting and new software function is “Schedule” event, allowing alerts to be defined, which will execute the user-defined actions at the specified time (e.g. a command to turn off all machines at 7:00pm). Axence nVision 8.2 will also automatically download and install updates for the nVision management server. The transfer of Agent icons between network maps has now been automated. When a machine with an installed Agent (e.g. a laptop) connects to nVision from a network different than the previous one (e.g. from a public WiFi hot spot), the icon of this machine will be transferred to the respective map of the network, where it is currently located. Except for the modifications described above, several smaller interface improvements have been introduced and the network filtering mechanism has been upgraded. All changes are specified in the revisions history available on the website.
