We’ve just released version 9.3 of ManageEngine Applications Manager. The highlight of this release is out-of-the-box support for monitoring Amazon Web Services (AWS), the public cloud service offered by Amazon. The new monitoring feature helps IT administrators monitor the health and performance of Amazon EC2 and RDS instances as well as attached EBS volumes, and gain visibility into resource utilization in the cloud. Applications Manager thus provides a single console for monitoring applications in the cloud as well as inside the corporate datacenter.

The cloud monitoring capabilities, along with the virtualization monitoring support that we announced earlier this year, will help you monitor your physical, virtual and cloud computing environments using a single console.

The other highlights of this release are:

  • Availability and Downtime Trend Report which compares the availability of the monitor group against target availability and also shows the downtime count and total downtime for the monitor group.
  • Enhancements to SNMP Trap listener feature including the ability to set alarm severity during runtime.
  • Support for monitoring Exchange server 2010.
  • Option to monitor WebSphere Application Server through secure SSL mode.
  • Support for associating dependent devices across managed servers in the Enterprise edition and more.

Here is a screenshot tour of our new features. You can also check out the new features by upgrading to the latest version of Applications Manager.

That’s it for now. Stay tuned to this space for more info.

  1. Hi Ryan,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Sure, we will pull the Name tag on EC2 instance and display it first.We will incorporate this in the next update.

    this is great news! Any chance of pulling in the Name tag on EC2 and putting that in the Name field and have a second field with the instance ID. Instance ID’s are not very friendly. THanks for listening
