InterMapper versions

v6.1 [Oct 18, 2016]
• New device detection by Intermapper Flows
• New device detection by scheduled auto-discovery
• IP range and SNMPv3 scanning support
• Brand new “DetectionMap” interface
• Alerts on new devices
• UI improvements on configuring notifiers
• Performance improvements for large numbers of interfaces

v5.7 [Sep 12, 2013]
1. Product Integration
- Flows and Data Center are integrated into InterMapper 5.7, so separate downloads are no longer required.
2. JRE Included
- The Windows version of InterMapper has a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) included.
3. More Devices on a Map
- The Windows version will be “large address aware”, allowing the 32-bit application to use more memory, which enables more devices and charts on a map.

v5.5 [Nov 10, 2011]
- InterMapper Reports
- Continued performance, disk usage, and feature improvements to InterMapper Reports, as well as additional built-in reports.
- New Report Types/Templates - Version 5.5 introduces report templates, predefined reports that prompt the user for key settings, and use those settings to generate a report. The result can be saved as another report. Templates are available for service level agreement, event history, dataset chart, top “N”, details, and outages. More...
- New, Load, and Save Reports pages - the Load and Save pages are easier to use, and the New Report page simplifies the creation of a new report. More...
- CSV Export - InterMapper Reports now exports reports in CSV format. More...
- Performance and disk usage - The database uses less disk space, adds data more quickly, and starts up faster. More...
- Maintenance Tasks - Improvements to the daily and weekly automatic maintenance tasks allow the maintenance tasks to use a new behavior that takes less time, uses less memory, and improves the performance of subsequent database operations.
- Strip Charts and InterMapper Database
InterMapper gives you greater visibility into and control over chart data, as well as data exported to InterMapper Database.
- Easy Chart Creation and Viewing - In the Status Window, when you click on a chartable value, a menu pops up, allowing you to choose to create a new chart or to raise and/or go to an existing chart which contains this dataset. More...
- More Information Available in the Chart Window - In the Chart Window, you may now right-click on a dataset legend and choose “Show Device” to have InterMapper indicate in the Map or List Views which device the dataset belongs to.
- More Information Available in the Chart View - In Chart View, datasets are now be displayed along with the charts containing them. Creation date, source, type, and the filename for the associated chart file are also displayed. You may show the chart or device associated with a dataset, rename or remove the dataset and export or delete data from the dataset. More...
- New Dataset View - In the new dataset view, devices and interfaces with chartable values will be displayed in a filter on the left-hand side of the window. You may select one or more devices or interfaces; the union of the chartable values will appear on the right-hand side, along with the type and retention policy for the values. You may set or adjust retention policies for the values here. More...
- Easier Access to Retention Policies - The Retention Policies server settings panel now allows you to add, delete, and edit retention policy definitions directly, rather than requiring you to go to the IMDC interface. More...
- Improved Control of Device Labels
In both device labels and in notifier titles/messages, you may use JavaScript to generate the text for labels or notifications. JavaScript has access to variables from probes, as well as certain internal information, which may be used in the labels. For instance, you may display variables returned from a probe or device specific properties, such as comment, poll interval, etc. in a label. See Generating Label Text with JavaScript for more information.
- Layer 2 Enhancements
- IP Conflicts - InterMapper will automatically indicate IP conflicts when it finds devices with same IP address associated with more than one switch port. More...
- Ignore IP Addresses - In the "Set Behavior…" window for a device, you may uncheck "Poll this address for Layer 2 information" to ignore this IP address in the Layer 2 feature.
- Additional Flags - InterMapper will automatically detect and flag the spanning-tree root. It will also flag "loop ports" where a switch port is plugged into another port on the same switch. In addition, you may manually flag switch ports or vlans as wireless and endpoints as virtual machines by right-clicking on the switch port, vlan, or endpoint and selecting an item from the Tag submenu. More...
- Minor tweaks to the server settings dialog - The server settings Layer 2 Features panel now includes a count of the number of Layer-2-enabled maps and a link to a dialog allowing you to enable or disable Layer 2 on specific maps. More...
- Minor Features
- New location of InterMapper Settings folder for Windows users - InterMapper's installer places the InterMapper Settings folder in Windows' preferred location unless you specify otherwise.
For versions and later, the default locations are as follows:
-- Vista and beyond: C:\ProgramData\InterMapper\InterMapper Settings , unless a different location was chosen at installation.
-- Windows XP and Server 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\InterMapper\InterMapper Settings, unless a different location was chosen at installation.
When you upgrade to 5.5, the installer checks for an InterMapper Settings folder in the preferred location. If none is found, it attempts to move the existing Settings folder to the new location. If it fails, the upgraded version runs with the Settings folder in the old location.
- Folder name: InterMapper Settings
Location:
- Prior to InterMapper version 5.5, the InterMapper Settings folder was stored in the top level of the InterMapper application folder unless a different location was chosen at installation.
- Greater flexibility in handling licenses and serial numbers - We have made a number of minor tweaks to make it even easier to enter your license or serial number into InterMapper.
- Numerous bug fixes and minor improvements

v5.4 [Jan 6, 2011]
Layer 2 – a physical connectivity discovery tool;
Reports – a dynamic, web-based trend analyzer;
HTTP Follow Probe;
Import/Export of Helper Apps;
More logs available in Bug Reporter.

v5.2 [Jan 14, 2010]
New probe development tools include companion scripts that combine command line probes with the scripts they run and CScript and Python command-line macros. The HTTP API allows you to create programs that can import and export data with the InterMapper server. (Acknowledge devices via the web! Export problem alerts to trouble-ticket systems! Automatically add new devices to InterMapper!)
WMI Probes: When InterMapper is installed on a Windows machine, these probes get detailed information from Windows workstations through the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) interface.
Other Probes: InterMapper 5.2 has new probes to verify e-mail round-trip delivery for both IMAP and POP3, and measure the times between send and receipt. There are also useful enhancements for custom probe capabilities.
New HTTP API: InterMapper 5.2 enhances its Software Development Kit (SDK) by adding the ability for external programs to exchange data with the InterMapper server using an HTTP API. These capabilities include:
Exporting and importing files from/to the InterMapper Settings folder.
Exporting and importing information from/to the internal tables that can update individual items on maps.
Performing a basic acknowledge on a device.
