Group operations with users in the new version of the program “10-Strike Network Monitoring Pro” 8.3

News, Updates 0 Comments

The March version 8.3 of 10-Strike Network Monitor, a network equipment and server monitoring program, adds support for user groups, and improves the S.M.A.R.T. hard drive and SSD disk health monitoring. This article also discusses how to use alternative messaging apps.

How else can you send messages besides Slack and Telegram?

This can be done in two ways:

1. Via a VBScript / JScript script.

If your messenger service supports the HTTP API, you can access it with a script like this (sending to Slack):

function Main
Dim request
Set request = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
request.open "POST", "https://hooks.slack.com/services/AJHGK45J4/FTS5NFG73/UDz30ftMMzinOgFxhTx2zBBB", false
request.send "{""text"": ""It is a test! ""}"
Main = ""
end function

Or this one (on Telegram):

function Main
Dim request
 Set request = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
request.open "POST", "https://api.telegram.org/bot454654680:ADFgdfghdf5p5tAQrdZ6Ilf_G7e_3dy0qhOCi1E/sendMessage?chat_id=344565393&text=test_message", false
request.send
Main = ""
end function

2. Using the curl utility

The second method is the same, but using the open-source curl utility. In the Launch applications alert notification section, enter curl.exe in the Program file path field (if the path is specified in the environment variables), and specify the remaining parameters in the Launch parameters field.

Group operations with users

We’ve added the ability to change access to monitoring program resources for multiple users. To do this, select them in the list, select Edit from the menu, configure the access type and rights, and apply general settings to the selected users.

In addition, we have removed the need to set a user password in the database when changing other settings.

System constants in paths

We’ve added the ability to use system constants for user profile paths in Windows. Now, to specify a path to a file in the current user’s folder, simply type C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Downloads\file.exe.

Key environment variables for profile paths:
%USERPROFILE%: Path to the current user’s root folder (e.g., C:\Users\Username).
%APPDATA%: Application data that roams with the profile (Roam, …\AppData\Roaming).
%LOCALAPPDATA%: Local application data that doesn’t roam (…\AppData\Local).
%TEMP% / %TMP%: Folder for user temporary files (…\AppData\Local\Temp).
%USERDOMAIN%: User domain.
%USERNAME%: Current user name.
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%: All users’ profile (C:\ProgramData)

All changes in the version 8.3 listed:

  • Added the ability to use the system constants (user profile, Program Files, etc.) in paths to executable files launched by the program.
  • Pro: All area types available in the program have been added to the map menu.
  • Pro: Added group operations with users. Now you can change object permissions for multiple users at once.

  • The program interface has been adapted for use in systems with window scaling enabled.
  • Fixed an error when adding a new account for SNMPv3 in the program settings.
