New Features

IT Automation with Workflows

Automate your repeated IT actions using OpManager Workflows. The routine tasks that need execution either during network faults or as an on-going maintenance task, can be automated using this new module. Help document.

Microsoft Hyper-V monitoring

Monitor Microsoft Hyper-V servers for availability and performance. OpManager monitors Hyper-Vs using WMI and provides over 50 performance monitors out-of-the-box for Hyper-V hosts and VMs. An exlusive Hyper-V dashboard with details such as VMs, Datastores, Storage Adapters, Monitors, etc, you can quickly identify and address performance bottlenecks or optimize VM resources. Hyper-V hosts are automatically discovered as virtual servers during the initial network discovery.

Script monitoring

Consolidate and manage your network monitoring scripts in OpManager management console. OpManager executes custom scripts and parses the output to trigger meaningful alarms. Set threshold and get alerted during abnormal situations by leveraging OpManager’s fault management functionality.

REST APIs

Perform operations like adding a device, associating a profile to devices etc using REST APIs. Using these APIs, you can create scripts to interact with OpManager or integrate OpManager with 3rd party IT management/service desk software.

Standalone OpManager to Enterprise Probe switch

Upgrade a standalone instance of OpManager to an enterprise Probe on-the-fly. This doesn't require you to starte from the scratch and discover the network all over again! You can start from where you left! The Enterprise edition scales to monitoring over 500 devices or 10,000 interfaces.

Hot-standy for Probe

Ensure high availability of OpManager by setting up hot-standby for Probes. You can now enjoy 24/7, uninterrupted network monitoring. The primary Probe fails over to a secondary probe and fails back as soon as the primary is up and the data across the redundant instances are always synchronized.

Revamped User Interface

Navigate across the modules and integrated ManageEngine applications with OpManager's new, enhanced GUI. The intuitive tabs to easily access the required network performance data, improved page-loading speed, and quick links to information on how to go about doing some tasks with option to submit instant feedback, provide a smooth user experience.
