New features and integrations
New features
Network Collector Dashboard
Let’s jump to the big news.
Our new Network Collector Dashboard brings powerful improvements aimed at simplifying your monitoring and management workflow. With enhanced navigation, you can now manage network collectors and the underlying resources across your network, reducing the time spent managing your collectors.
This streamlined interface improves overall usability, making it easier than ever to manage and monitor your network collectors and provide quicker access to key data. It also provides a more intuitive user experience.
Display Important Offline Devices banner on the Devices List
Don’t worry if you usually see the Important Devices Offline information in the Site Explorer. You can access the same information from the Device list.
We added an intuitive alert banner to the Devices tab to give you immediate visibility when critical devices go offline.
With a single click on the embedded link, you automatically filter the device list, allowing you to quickly identify and address any issues before they escalate. This proactive approach helps you take immediate action to minimize downtime and keep your network running smoothly.
Integration with Ubiquiti UISP Cloud Console and AirMax devices
Our latest integration with the Ubiquiti UISP Cloud Console and AirMax Point-to-Point Radio devices provides clearer visibility into network structure.
The enhancement allows the extraction of device information like Name, Model, and Firmware version, in addition to how they are connected to each other.
Use Public IP addresses on Routed Networks, IP List and Range configuration
We’ve introduced support for Public IP addresses on routed networks, IP Lists and Range configurations.
This feature is a powerful addition for those needing to monitor public-facing IPs, offering greater control and visibility over their networks. Additionally, it enhances flexibility for network monitoring.
It’s now available for selected customers. If you’re interested in learning more, please reach out to our experts by email at sales@domotz.com.
