Summer is in full swing, and we’ve been making Domotz better than ever. Here are the Domotz Q2 news on which the team has been up to from April to June.
New Features
Our most recent features focus on observability, ease of configuration, and more economical monitoring:
Integration Script-Based Configuration Management
Make network configurations more manageable. Our new integration script feature makes it easy to back up and restore configs. You can even set up change and mismanagement alerts.
Enhanced Topology Visibility Via Improved Port Mapping
Your network shouldn’t have blind spots. Domotz’s recent port mapping upgrade means you can now observe a wider range of devices, such as Sophos XGS Firewalls.
Work Smarter With Centralized Collector Settings
We’re always working to lighten your monitoring workload. With our new Collector Settings section, you can view, configure, and manage your collectors from one convenient place. Manageable features you’ll find in this section include basic information, notes, booster packs, monitoring configurations, default credentials, and more.
See More Network Traffic With New Metrics
Are you tired of struggling to solve bandwidth mysteries? Our new SNMP templates make inbound and outbound traffic a lot clearer. We’ve added several consumption metrics geared toward helping you optimize performance, hunt down bottlenecks, and engage in intelligent capacity planning.
Try Our New Per-Device Pricing Model
If you’re a Domotz Channel Partner Program (DCPP) member or select enterprise customer, we’re happy to share that we’ve made monitoring more financially viable. Our per-device licensing model gives you maximum flexibility instead of forcing you to monitor based on location alone.
To get started, email sales@domotz.com. Once you’ve enabled the feature, just visit the new Collector Settings page to choose which assets you want to monitor.
Integrations
Users love our integrations, and we can’t blame them – we’re always coming out with new ones! Here are a few monitoring integration scripts and SNMP templates we’ve published recently:
Improvements
We’ve made some big experience updates to enhance the monitoring workflow. These include intuitive new UI elements and speed optimizations. We’ve even lowered installation times to boost your cost efficiency.
Here are some other upgrades you’ll find in Domotz:
Network Topology Connections
Our upgraded network topology connections feature lets you map out connectivity with enhanced detail and visibility. We’ve added support for new protocols, like SNMP, to streamline Layer 3 MAC address scanning and discovery. It’s the same scanning tool you know and love, just more accurate.
Newly Merged Network Traffic Template (Extended+SNMP)
We’ve unified two popular network monitoring templates into a combined upgrade with increased power. This should make monitoring less complicated and more comprehensive.
Calculate Agent Public IP Addresses With Domotz Cloud
Domotz Cloud now makes it easier to determine agent IP addresses correctly – meaning faster, smoother, minimal-hassle setup and monitoring.
LSI-MegaRAID-SAS-MIB Monitoring
Need to monitor or manage LSI-MegaRAID-SAS-MIB devices? Now you can, thanks to our official support upgrade.
Broadcast Network Address IP-Conflict Detection Disabled
Stop worrying about false positives and focus on real issues – we’ve ditched IP-conflict detection on broadcast addresses.
We’re Dropping Support for NodeJS 0.10 Network Collectors
It’s time to update your NodeJS versions. If you’re running NodeJS 0.10, your network collectors will no longer be able to use integration scripts, so don’t miss out!
Live Events
Maybe it’s because people want to enjoy the summer vacation opportunities, but Q2 has been huge for live events. The Domotz team participated in several community get-togethers where we got to meet some of you in person and learn how we can help your company innovate. Here’s a quick selection of what we attended:
| InfoComm June 12-14, 2024 Las Vegas, Nevada | Kaseya DattoCon Europe June 11-13, 2024 Convention Centre, Dublin, Ireland | Pax8 Beyond June 9-11, 2024 Gaylord Rockies Convention Center, Denver, CO |
| MSP Day June 6-7, 2024 Palazzo dei Congressi, Riccione, Italy | ConnectWise IT Nation Evolve Q2 May 6-10, 2024 Hilton Anatole, Dallas, Texas | Kaseya Global Connect April 29 – May 2, 2024 MGM Grand Resort Las Vegas, Nevada |

We also hosted a quick webinar with Phillipp Gude of GUDE, discussing ways to monitor and manage systems effectively from the power distribution level. This was a great chat that might make you recalculate your monitoring outlook, so check out the recording here. Also, remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel to know when our next fun knowledge session drops.
Lastly, if you can’t make these events, don’t worry. There are still plenty of opportunities to connect with us throughout the year.
Here’s a complete list of what’s on our event schedule – we’d love to see you in person!
