Enhancements:

• Improved tests:
• • HostMonitor, Passive RMA for Windows, Active RMA for Windows and RMA for UNIX (1.28): the following test methods were improved:
  • • Folder/File Size
    • File/Folder Availability
    • Count Files
    • Compare Files
  • Now you may use 4 additional variables in the path to the file or folder:
  • • NewestFile
    • NewestFolder
    • OldestFile
    • OldestFolder
  • HostMonitor, RMA for Windows:
    
  • • URL test: if you need to check web site that asks for client certificate but does not require it, you may setup URL test without using client certificate.
      
    • Also if you do not see some certificates in drop down list while configuring URL test, you may use new "undocumented" option that tells HostMonitor to display all certificates without applying "client identification" filter. Just add FilterClientCertificates=0 line into [Misc] section of hostmon.ini file and restart HostMonitor.

  • RMA Manager: minor improvements related to "upgrade agent" procedure
• The following issues were resolved
• • HostMonitor, RMA for Windows: SSH test did not work with some SSH servers. Fixed
