SMS Dispatch Manager - 'The ideal Assistant
Manager for Network Managers.'
We are proud to announce the release of our latest LoriotPro
Plug-in Module - SMS Dispatch Manager.
SMS Dispatch Manager is an intelligent tool that sends out
network alarms as SMS directly
to the systems administrator’s mobile
phone.
Unlike other SMS solutions which use Internet Gateways to
send messages, SMS Dispatch Manager is entirely autonomous
of the monitored network as it uses a GSM modem directly connected
by a serial connection to the system where LoriotPro
runs.
This means that even if the network completely crashes, SMS
Dispatch Manager will still continue to function and send
out updated alerts.
An “acknowledge” response message is required
to ensure that the alarm has been received and that the issue
is being treated.
|
Failure to respond within a specified time triggers the sending
of another SMS to the next recipient on the escalation
recipient list.
This ensures that all pending alarms are treated in a timely
manner, thereby reducing downtime.
This tool was developed with the goal of allowing network
managers greater freedom in their work as they are
no longer required to spend all their time seating in front
of the computer screen for fear of missing an alarm.
SMS Dispatch Manager gives them the liberty to take care
of their other equally important tasks without compromising
the health of their network.
SMS Manager is available for sale immediately on our website
and through our partner network.
For additional information please contact our sales department
at sales@loriotpro.com

Dispatch Manager.

LUTEUS is proud to announce the new LoriotPro version 3.
This major evolution includes a lot of new functionalities
that will bring you more manageability and control on your
Information System and increase your efficiency in your daily
tasks.
The supervision and the administration of the physical and
virtual entities composing the Information System are now
really interactive with our new concept of ACTIVE VIEW.
An Active View is a visual representation of the entities
or objects manipulated and supervised by the LoriotPro console.
Each entity, from the smallest one (a device port for example)
to the biggest one (a country map) is dynamic and reflects
by color, its operational status, its availability or a performance
level.
An editor allows you to built your own Active View and thus
to create multiple visual representation of your sensitive
resources. The less status change in one of your resource
could be immediately detected and displayed on the View, triggering
other actions like Alarm or E-mail. Each object on the View
could has its own user defined contextual menu allowing direct
access to associated management tools, diagnose programs or
other LoriotPro Plug-in.
The Active View is vector based graphics and could be displayed
at various scales. Simple or complex graphical objects are
supported and also the import of graphics from other drawing
software likes Micosoft Visio or Adobe Illustrator. A ClipArt
library is provided for a fast design of your own Views. You
could also extend the library with your own ClipArt if they
follow the Microsoft WMF – EMF standard. The creation
of templates allows you to apply to complex device representation
having the same configuration and behaviour, a predefined
Active View, avoiding the fastidious design of similar Views.
LoriotPro V3 supplies numerous WIZARD or assistants that
help you to choose the right parameter during configuration
process. Difficult or fastidious tasks like Polling interval
selection, Host selection, SNMP OID selection, Event number
selection become easy with the WIZARDs. For example, one of
the most frequent and repetitive task during configuration
phase, the selection of an OID and its index, is totally assisted
avoiding error configuration.
LoriotPro is provided with a complete electronic documentation
of more than 1000 sheets, directly accessible from the application.
HowTo are also available on the web site www.loriotpro.com
for helping you to configure third products and to integrate
LoriotPro in your environment.
|
Among the new functionalities
provided, LoriotPro is now capable of running as a Windows
Service under 200/XP. The automatic start-up of the software
is thus guarantied avoiding to the administrator a logging
sequence. A modified strategy for the configuration file allows
a simple backup. A watchdog module controls the state of LoriotPro
process and service and restarts the product if one of them
fails to respond. With these features, the LoriotPro application
itself is always available for supervising.
The Host property configuration dialog interface is new and
natively provides the current polling success and response
time. The Polling process could be individually stopped for
each host during maintenance period, avoiding not justified
alarms in the event manager.
The WEB remote console has a totally new interface. A rich
visual interface, more users friendly, is now available. The
availability and the response time of each host collected
by the Polling process are displayed among numerous other
status indicators. Direct filter buttons allows you to see
in one click all host having the same status. The WEB console
access control is now based on user authentication and level.
Each branch and object of the directory tree can be distinctively
hided to the remote view of a user. Global information, Maps,
logs, traps, report can also be hided based on a user level.
The MIB Compiler is now able to manage multiple data base
allowing you to change your working environment. Very useful
feature if you use LoriotPro software in nomad mode or for
auditing.
New Plug-in …
The Spanning Tree Plug-in is always provided and now supports
the CISCO multi instance bridging (VLAN). With this function
you can have distinct MAP representing your spanning tree
architecture for each VLAN of your switched environment. The
MAP are also visible from the WEB remote console.
A powerful Plug-in calculates call durations and provides
statistic information on ISDN communication calls between
sites or globally. The raw statistics are collected by the
Plug-in Cisco Call History already available in LoriotPro
version 2. The rapprochement between the generated report
and the Telco Operator billing provides you with a better
understanding of your communication costs.
The supervision of processes on Unix or Windows System is
now possible with our PROCESS SURVEYOR Plug-in. Events and
actions can be triggered each time a process appears, disappears,
or when its current status change. |

Paris,
France, 1/6/2003 – LUTEUS releases an innovative
product for managing SYSLOG messages in distributed Information
System architectures.
Originally, the Syslog server included in LORIOTPRO was not
designed to sustain a high incoming Syslog flow of messages.
This time is over with our SYSLOG COLLECTOR
solution. This Program is intended to collect huge amount
of Syslog messages even in WAN network architecture where
bandwidth is a matter of concern. It will be very efficient
in routing or security environment where logging is necessary.
For example, in firewall architecture based on PIX from Cisco,
tracing the flow generates a huge quantity of Syslog messages.
Our solution could handle it and manage this flow according
to predefined policy.
Syslog Collector concept is based on three components: Syslog
collector Agents, Syslog Collector manager and a LoriotPro
system.
The agents are responsible of filtering Syslog messages and
of taking actions on specified conditions. Actions are either
to archive them on local files, to forward them as events
messages to the LoriotPro console or to forward them as Syslog
messages to another Syslog server |
The Syslog Collector Manager
is a program running on top of LoriotPro (Plug-in).It is used
to define filter lists and to download them onto the agents.
All communications between agents and manager are secured
by authentication. The upload of logging file stored on the
agent to the manager could be performed in a compressed mode,
sparing bandwidth of slow WAN link. Naturally, agents have
to be judiciously disseminated in the network architecture
regarding the network topology and close to the devices generating
Syslog Messages. Associated to the agent and to the LoriotPro
Console, a browser helps the administrator to easily find
specific messages in multiple huge log files by setting filtering
conditions. Like LoriotPro, the Sylog Collector agent and
manager are fully graphical and run under Microsoft Windows.
Each agent should have a valid unique license key to work.
Licenses are sold 250 Euros each.

| Paris,
France, 27/1/2003 – New LoriotPro Plugins are
available at www.loriotpro.com. These Plugins add several
advanced features to your preferred SNMP supervisor.
Among these new Plugin you will find:
The Trace Route Discover Plugin that displays a table view
and a concentric graphical view of the router hops between
LoriotPro and an IP address with frequently refreshed Round
Trip Time statistics.
The Bulk Threshold Control Plugin that gives you the possibility
of setting hundreds of thresholds on SNMP objects in few clicks.
Administrators do not longer have to set one by one the thresholds
on the sensitive indicators of their Network or Information
system.
The Bulk TCP Poller allows you to monitor network application
(TCP ports) availaibility. This Plugin perform this test for
you at regular intervals and sends an alarm if a wrong Statut
is dedected. The power of this Plugin allows you to monitor
hundreds of Hosts and for each of them, hundreds of TCP ports
(applications) with various alarm severity.This Plugin could
also be useful to check the permissiveness or laxisme of a
Firewall and to warns you if a security breach is opened.
The Spanning Tree Bridge Map Plugin is a complex and powerful
add-on program that displays on a graphical map the current
status of spanning tree bridges or switches. A really useful
software for managing spanning
tree architectures where availability and redundancy are key
points. |
The Cisco Config Surveyor Plugin
keeps and eye for you on the configuration of your Cisco Devices
by checking their current configuration. The Plugin notifies
you when changes occurs and performs automatic backup for
you.
The Interface Monitor Plugin displays in one screen the most
important statistics of a network Interface. The inbound and
outbound percentage of load are displayed on a line graph,
peak values are memorized. A threshold could be set on this
percentage of load and send alarm when reached.
The Node To Node Path Trace Plugin displays on the InterNetwork
graphical map the path between two IP nodes. When you have
mesh network with multiple paths this Plugin is a great help
to understand how routing is performed and to find errors
in routing tables and router configurations.
The MIB Object Descriptions gives you formatted information
on MIB objets.
You could download them all together from our download page.
