- Enhancement: Sentry-go Plus! Alerting (1.1.2)
Authenticated SMTP e-amil alerts can now be sent in addition to standard
ones, without the need to create a custom e-mail.
- Fix: Sentry-go Plus! Alerting (1.1.2)
When an alert was raised, which in turn caused an alert file or script to be
called, the monitor could fail if parameters were not entered and/or an
alternate user was defined to run the job.
If the "Test" button was used to verify an alert script, the initial web report
would be displayed, but thereafter a 404 (not found) error was returned.
Both of these faults have now been corrected.
- Fix: Sentry-go Plus! (1.1.1)
Under some conditions & especially after installation/reinstallation, the
monitoring service could fail in module goQMINET.DLL. Restarting the service
would resolve the problem. This has now been corrected.
- Enhancement: Sentry-go Quick SQL Server Monitor (4.4)4.4)
Performance thresolds have been increased to allow 9 digit numbers to be
stored instead of the previous limit of 8. The maximum threshold value is now
4294967295.
- Enhancement: Sentry-go Plus! Setup Wizard (1.1)
Now includes new service start/stop functionality,
client software detection & improved Windows Vista
integration.
- FIX: Sentry-go Plus! Setup Wizard (Shareware) (1.1)
Under some conditions, the licence key generated for the shareware version of
Sentry-go Plus! would expire after only one day instead of the 21 day evaluation
period. This has now been corrected; shareware licences as well as standard
evaluation licences will expire after 21 days.
- Enhancement: Sentry-go Plus! E-mail Send/Receive monitoring component
(1.1)
E-mail Send/Receive monitoring can now use authenticated e-mails as the
verification method in addition to standard (non-authenticated) SMTP mails.
- Enhancement: Sentry-go Plus! Client Console
(1.1)
The Client Console now allows easier registration of monitors, including the
ability to quickly register multiple monitors at once.
- Enhancement: Sentry-go Plus! Network monitoring component (1.1)
When an error is reported, the nature of the error is now appended to the
message. Thios indicates why the check failed. Previously, only a generic error
was provided.
- FIX: Sentry-go Plus! Network monitoring component (1.1)
When automatically scanning for network resources, the Current Status report
indicates
"[Not Yet Run]" even though checks had been performed. This has now been
corrected.
- Enhancement: Sentry-go Plus! HTML Content monitoring component (1.1)
The HTML Content monitor now allows you to both POST data & send parameters to a
web page when verifying results.
- FIX: Sentry-go Plus! HTML Content monitoring component (1.1)
If a long URL was used, formatting within the Current Status report could be
affected. This issue has now been resolved.
- FIX: Sentry-go Plus! HTML Content monitoring component (1.1)
Under some conditions, the Sentry-go Plus! monitoring service could fail (stop
responding) when HTML content monitoring was enabled & configured, specifically
to check the time taken to retrieve the given web page. This has been corrected.

- Sentry-go.com
The following corrections have been made
...
- Under some circumstances, Quick Monitor evaluation licences were incorrectly
being
generated & could expire once installed. This has now been resolved.
- Some user's sessions would timeout whilst downloading softfware. The software
downloads area has been redesigned to prevent this.
- Minor modifications to formatting have now been included.

...

- Fix. Blocked SQL queries now correctly terminates blocked/blocking processes
only after the wait timeout has been exceeded. Previously it was possible for
the monitor to terminate the process prematurely.
- Fix. If an event log message contained 2 or more duplicate parameters, the
Quick Monitor may fail with a buffer overflow. This issue has now been
corrected.
- Fix. If an ODBC data source name of the maximum 32 characters was defined, the
Configuration Utility would fail to read it and subsequent entries. This has now
been resolved.
- Fix. SQL Server blocked locks were not alerted correctly following initial
Setup. Alerts were only raised if the Configuration Utility had been run and
changes made & saved from the "Locking" tab. This issue has now been resolved in
the Quick SQL Server Monitor Setup Wizard.
- Fix. Quick Monitor Setup Wizard now correctly registers disk drives & all
associated settings.
- New "Runtime Activity" features added to the Quick Monitor Console, allowing
you to connect directly to the Quick Monitor and show both monitoring & alerting
activity as it's performed, in near real-time.
- The Console now allows monitor's to be manually defined.
- You can now edit the registered port no. of a monitor from within the Console.
- You can now dynamically access the day no. (DN) and day string literal (DC)
using the new place-markers <$$DN> and <$$DC> etc. Invalid (or unavailable)
place-markers are now replaced by "[not defined]" text when expanded by the
Quick Monitor & Alert Engine.
- New home page layout for Quick Monitor web reports. "Last checked" time is now
displayed on Quick Monitor Current Status web reports.
- E-mail alerts that fail to send are automatically retried periodically.
Individual e-mail addresses can now have their own SMTP server & port, in
addition to the default SMTP server.

identified in monitors that scan the Windows Event Logs. Under some conditions
the type of log file defined can become corrupt, causing no events to be

returned data. Correction made to CR/LF combinations, thus allowing HTTP
requests to be sent in the command successfully.
