SCOM: OpsLogix has updated their Oracle Management pack v1.3.1683.0

The great crew over at OpsLogix has a new Oracle MP for us to ring in 2020, it’s available here

What’s different?

Changes

  • Rewritten the complete backend to make usage of a collector service. This way we detach the SCOM modules from the Oracle client resulting in a way less footprint and more performance.
  • Moved the Oracle configuration dashboard from monitoring pane to Administration pane.
  • Rewritten the Oracle configuration dashboard. Please read documentation how to use.
  • Added Opslogix General Reports MP to the install package.
  • The container DB discovery is now by default disabled.

Fixes

  • The connection monitor now only reports an error when it is x times (2 default) in unhealthy state.
  • When creating a connection alert a parameter could not be resolved for the alert description.
  • During getting sysstats information with containing very big numbers the converting to SCOM data could be broken

and yes it is upgradable from  V1.3.0.0 or later
