Perl Module Net::SNMP::Cpq / News: Recent posts

this one is a maintenance release with only minor modifications in the documentation.

it has been such a long time. I tested the module during this summer. Now I feel ready to release it as BETA, after all the testing. No more feature updates right now.

if you need some features or want to report a bug, make yourself heard.

..and getting back to working on this project of course
In case you were wondering...

fixed a number of minor bugs,
improved formatting a little bit

see changelog in download manager for details.

keep sending feedback if you have tested this module. you can also use the forums for this module, and do not always need to send to my address directly.

added agent query to list file system utilization for all volumes,
also includes bargraph representation (simple) for usage in reports right away. check the documentation section for an example output for agent method get_filesystemspace_graphs

with agent query get_utilization added (lists processor utilization across different intervals up to 1 hour for each processor in the system)

examples above example7 were missing from the package.

with new query get_secinfo for querying security information such as power on password state, network server mode, floppy disk bootlock etc.

not version 0.03 as accidentially posted in the last news item

this one features a new agent query for software versions (drivers, agents, utilities, applications) which might come in handy indeed.

check out example10.pl with the server of your choice and availability, needs cpq agents naturally..

implemented. working on docu now, release 0.04 will appear shortly. this function is actually delivering some IMHO very useful information, but judge for yourself:

$agent->get_swvers_as_string();
