For more than ten years Jalasoft has been supporting Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). Today this is coming to an end. Jalasoft decided to disconnect their flagship product, Xian Network Manager.
The next version Xian NM v7, will no longer connect with SCOM, will run on Linux Ubuntu and use PostgreSQL as the main repository. This all with the goal to make System Monitoring affordable for the home market Jalasoft is located, Bolivia and Latin America.
Xian NM v7 will contain all the monitoring power for network devices that the previous versions had and on top of that it will monitor now also other parts of your infrastructure such as desktops, servers, generators. The big thing now is that you do not need SCOM anymore, Xian NM v7 works completely on its own. It is the perfect tool to start monitoring your environment.
Jalasoft has grown in the past 15 years from a small 6 person company to over 600 people, making it the biggest software company in its kind in South America. With customer all over the world, we feel it is time that South American businesses have access to qualitative and affordable IT solutions.
Have a look here for more information.

Jalasoft Releases Brand New Xian SNMP Device Simulator v5.5
Sponsor post
Today (November 25th) Jalasoft announced the release of The Xian SNMP Device Simulator 5.5. This new version comprises several new features along with several performance enhancements.
The two most important additions are the built in OID editor and an SNMP Dump Manager. The OID Editor gives people the option to customize the behavior of certain OIDs within the simulation file. For example, users will be able to change the simulated interface status with only a few clicks. Additionally, we’ve implemented the new SNMP Dump Manager. This feature has been introduced to help the user handle the simulation files that the Xian SNMP Device Simulator is using in a much simpler manner
The SNMP Simulator comes in two versions; The free version can simulate up to 5 devices in a normal way while the paid version has the option of dynamic simulation OID editing and device recording. Prices start at 99 USD (for 50 devices). A free 30 day evaluation is available for download at the Jalasoft website.

Xian Network Manager SP3 has been officially released now!
Sponsor post
Today Jalasoft has released the latest version for Xian Network Manager. This new version (SP3) has several internal improvements and most visible one is adding support for SFlow. Let's have a look at the improvements:
SFlow monitoring:
SFlow support has been added so Xian NM can now properly receive and filter SFlow packets along with Netflow V5 and V9, so three of the most important and used flow technologies are supported and can be processed at the same time to generate alerts, performance graphs, and reports on OpsMgr related to the content of the network traffic.
New virtual center rules:
to monitor the data storages associated to ESX hosts and virtual machines.
Environmental sensor rules for Cisco routers and ASA devices:
to monitor the voltage, temperature, battery status, and more.
IP addresses resolving for Flow:
the engine can now properly resolve any public IP address into its domain name and improve the performance to make sure no delays are happening while translating these IP addresses into something users can understand when seeing the corresponding alerts or performance counters in the OpsMgr console.
Flow monitor service:
a new service has been included in Xian NM to explicitly monitor Flow data. This improves performance and functionality since it is now possible to have multiple Flow services installed and each of them can independently monitor Flow traffic from various sources and with independent databases, queues, and performance parameters.
SDK Loader:
a new connector module and improved OpsMgr SDK communication has been implemented exclusively for OpsMgr 2012 so performance and reliability when talking to OpsMgr has been greatly improved. For backward compatibility, if you install NM on OpsMgr 2007, the previous SDK communication is loaded but if it detects OpsMgr 2012, the new one is used, therefore the name.
For more information on the new release have a look at:

My personal experience with Jalasoft Xian Wings (part 2)
Sponsor post
In an earlier blogpost I was mentioning my personal experience on Jalasoft Xian Wings. More about that can be found here. This time I will have a look how Wings looks like on a Windows Phone 8.1 and Apple iPad 3 device. Let's have a look at the possibilities on both a Phone and Tablet device. Screenshots are taken from my own OpsMgr demo environment. You can ask Jalasoft for credentials on a demo showcase also. Just use comments for that.
Windows Phone
The Xiang Wings app can be found in the MS store, just install it and put in account details. Within the app the following can be seen:
Within Xian Wings you can find Summary (health, alerts, notifications), Navigation (states, alerts, graphs, task status, notifications, settings) and Recent graphs. Within Settings you can find State view (selection of groups and objects wich are same as in OpsMgr console), Notification (all severity, resolution state possible) and Receive notifications. Much to see here if you ask me.
When you choose an specific alert, you can run Tasks, Knowledge and Properties. You can watch the alert rule with the specific description and monitors, watch knowledge base with even more information presented on your screen at once, and tasks to start troubleshooting. Within properties there's even a History field, so when the issue happens before, you can find earlier comments here.
When troubleshooting is needed some (basic) tasks can be started as well. In this case I started the Microsoft System Center Data Access Service. Very nice this can be done by mobile phone or any other device. Stopping the Data Access Service is not that handy, because communication is broken after that ;)
Apple iOS
The Xian Wings app can be found in the Apple store, just install it and put in account details. Within the app the following can be seen:
Nice to see that the interface is optimized for a tablet device. No screens like Windows Phone here, in this app you can create custom dashboards known from OpsMgr console. Within the dashboard you can configure widgets to display information you like to see. Let's have a look at some possibilities on custom dashboards.
Just created a (basic) dashboard with choices in Alerts, States and Graphs. You can use as many monitors and/or rules what you want. You can create multiple dashboards also to show different parts of the IT infrastructure. Servers, services, network, applications, processes, databases, just choose it yourself on a tablet device.
When tapping on a server (for example) you will see additional information on the object. In my case (OpsMgr server) you see Alerts, Details, Options (Maintenance mode, Remote PowerShell) and Inventory. Much to see here if you ask me. Just to give a quick overview of dashboard functionality here.
Same as on Windows Phone, you can start remote Tasks, put a device in Maintenance mode and set a specific Resolution state (for example: Assigned, Scheduled or Resolved). Very nice this can be done on a tablet device. In my situation it runs very smoothly.
When troubleshooting is needed some (basic) tasks can be started as well. In this case I started the WMI Service. Hope to give you a quick overview of possibilities within Xian Wings. Just ask Jalasoft if you want to know or see more on this.
Personally I like the idea to see much more information on devices like phones and tablets. When thinking about SMS and E-mail messages this seems more advanced and offers more possibilities to start remote management. Jalasoft did a great job on Xian Wings for iOS (iPhone, iPad), Windows Phone (and Android)! Hopefully you now have a good overview on this product. Thanks!

My personal experience with Jalasoft Xian Wings (part 1)
Sponsor post
A few weeks ago I did an online session with Jalasoft, to see more about Xian Wings. Let's see what's my personal experience so far. When installing OpsMgr at customer locations, I setup a management server with web functionality most of time. This way you can open weblinks in notification messages when inside the office or have a remote connection. You can click the weblink or have a look at the alert message available. Nothing special about that.
With Xian Wings it's getting even better. Jalasoft has this product created to view dashboards and health statistics on iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android and Windows Phone! You can create customized dashboards, monitor the object state of devices and see alerts and performance data. Just visit your local App store and give it a try! In my case (Windows Phone 8.1) it's shows the following message:
What do you do when you receive an email notification from OpsMgr 2007 or 2012 on your smartphone? Do you head back to your office? Or do you use the Operations Manager web console? Now we have made all of this easier for you! With Xian Wings for Microsoft Operations Manager (OpsMgr) 2007 and 2012, you have a real client application for your smartphone, which gives you easy access to states, alerts, performance graphs, tasks and more.
Within Wings you can find default dashboards, remote tasks and remote PowerShell (!). All tasks started are running on the OpsMgr server locally. Alerts can be shown on the icon (iOS) or in the notification center (Android). Because it's real-time, there's no delay in notifications. Licensing is done per device connected to the server. Besides of servers, you can use it for network devices too. Dashboards can be changed to custom-made, but you can start with the default ones. Just download the server and mobile client software and get started! Information for all platforms is included in the software.
Free trial: Jalasoft
In a next blogpost I will show some custom-made dashboards. Stay tuned for more!

New Jalasoft SNMP device simulator v5 released
Sponsor post
During Microsoft TechEd North America in Houston, Jalasoft released the New SNMP device simulator v5. If you are joining TechEd this week, just visit their booth (#1440) and get 30-50% discount in your next purchase. Don't miss that one!
If you have to test your network or the SNMP tools you use to run it, you know that having the right devices at the right time is harder than the actual testing. Is your network heavily secured or too isolated for testing? Do you need to test a specific device for real world activity? Do you need a test lab with 1000 or more devices? No problem. We have your solution. Jalasoft’s SNMP Device Simulator V5, removes these challenges and gives you the power to dynamically simulate any SNMP device you need. Fast. Efficient. Easy.
Do you need to create a virtual network for yesterday? The SNMP Device simulator has you covered! The easy to use installation wizard and interface let you bring a simulated device online in under 5 minutes. Choose the device that you want to create, select the data your want to simulate, give it an IP address and press play. Changes in V5 allow you to run more than 1,000 simulated devices at one time from a single machine. Need more devices? Need to put a firewall between devices? Deploy the SNMP Device Simulator agents on different computers and manage them through a single console.
Simulate any network device through the Device Recorder feature
Ideal for testing with network devices that you don’t have in your test lab, the Device Recorder lets you mimic the behavior of any real SNMP device. Use the new Device Recorder feature to capture real world data and simulate the selected behavior as many times as needed, without putting your production network at risk.
Dynamic Simulation
The SNMP Device simulator grants users the option to perform a dynamic simulation or a normal simulation (the most basic type). The simulator uses a variety of formulas and statistical operations to generate dynamic values on the selected virtual devices, resulting in more realistic behavior. These values are also recorded on log files so they can be used later in the historical simulation mode.
Historical Simulation
Use the logs generated in a dynamic simulation to reproduce a precise behavior during a specific timeframe. With the Historical Simulation feature you can reproduce identical scenarios over and over again to changes to your tools, monitoring software or network configuration. This feature is ideal for tests that depend on identical data in changing environments.
IP Address Manager
This feature is a time saver that you’ll love! Imagine that you need to simulate 100 devices. With the IP Address Manager you no longer have to worry about manually creating IP addresses for all these devices. Instead, create individual IP addresses or a range directly from the simulator’s console, and apply them to the devices that you need to simulate.
Generate simulated devices from scripts You can access almost all V5 features without ever opening the console. This includes creating a new simulated device, loading recorded data to a device and stopping/starting device simulations. Save valuable time through automation and scripts!
Save simulation configurations
Need to create a simulation for your network switches? They are all the same model, but the ones in R&D are configured differently from the ones in Accounting. No problem. Using our templates as a base, load the base data, make the changes needed to match your environment and then same the custom configuration with one for “Switch – R&S” and one for “Switch – Accounting”. With the Save Configuration features, you customizations are waiting for you the next time you do a test or an audit.
