VERSION/DATE: 2.0.0/2006-03-28
ENHANCEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- User interface improvements:
1) Hierarchy content does not wrap making it easier to identify
navigation folders
2) Multiple graphs can be viewed at the same time from separate
windows.
3) Improved color scheme for clarity.
- Added capability to monitor dynamic filenames that change over time
using PrimeAlert FileSizeMonitor.
- Added capability to specify the alarm severity within PrimeAlert
FileSizeMonitor for a file that does not exist.
- The data file for a module will not be removed when a module is
unloaded.
- Added the capability to specify custom messages and custom data
for use with Agent Based Alarm Actions. See the Agent Based Alarm
Actions section of the html documentation for more details.
- Users may specify action script overrides in $PADIR/bin.
- Added automatic reporting for the following properties:
1) 5 Minute Load Avg
2) Percent Disk Used
3) CPU - Percent Average Usage
4) Percent Swap Used
5) Percent Physical Memory Used
- Enhanced security so that action commands can only be executed
from $PADIR/bin. In addition, these commands must be owned and
executable by root and not contain any special characters that
may be interpreted by the shell. An error will be written to
the agent.log if an action does not meet the required criteria.
- Added capability to configure email notification during install.

all transition states of an alarm.
- The open time for an alarm has been corrected.
- The timestamps for alarms will be reported using the timezone of
the agent rather than GMT.
