Complete Services in Metaconsole
We extend the functionality of services in the Metaconsole, including both those of other nodes aswell as individual elements (agents and modules). This will allow you to have a detailed view of thecomplete global services from a single console.

Other features* From this update, you can add new columns to the event view with the following fields: “ModuleValue”, “Module Name” and “Module Status”, from the column customization section of the event
console.

* The new SNMP Trap forward will allow you to change the state of the destination module, thus
altering the state of the agent. This status can be set to normal by manually validating the trap in
the trap console.
* We have implemented a new function to massively mark events with “in progress” status.
* From this update, Tentacle will be able to support transfers with automatic compression,consuming less bandwidth in data transfers. This change will affect both the server and theagents, which will have to be updated. Tentacle servers will still be compatible with the previousmode (no compression). Although the agent data files (XML) are not very large, in critical mobility
environments (GRPS, 3G) every byte counts.
* Improvements in policy management from API/CLI.

About usability issues and minor interface errors
In this version we have solved more than twenty small usability problems. They are not serious, but
now the interface will be much more user-friendly and easy for the administrator. We have many
more improvements in mind - we’ve just started!
