Support For WebLogic 8.x And Tuxedo 8.x

Isis v2 provides support for the WebLogic 8.x product family as well as the Tuxedo 8.x product family. Support is still maintained for WebLogic 5.1, 6.1, 7.x and Tuxedo 6.5 and upwards.

HTML Based Health Check Reporting

HTML health check reports are designed to provide a instantly accessible view of the health of a application which is being monitored by Isis. The health check reports are typically configured to generate automatically on a regular basis and be placed in a central location where users can get access to them directly.

Rules Engine For Creating And Managing Application Alerts

Isis v2 contains a dynamic rules engine that allows an administrator to configure any number of rules against a application that is being monitored. For example a rule might be configured that monitors a WebLogic server instance and reports when the instance is unavailable.

Each time a rule is fired an action can also be set to execute. Actions can be configured to do just about anything, including send SNMP Traps, emails, delete files etc. In addition it is possible to configure additional actions that can do whatever you require.

Integration With 3rd Party Management Tools Such As HP OpenView & NetIQ

Through its actions and rules engine, Isis now provides integration with third party management consoles such as HP OpenView and NetIQ. The integration allows events that have been detected by Isis to be relayed up to a system wide management console such as HP OpenView or NetIQ. In addition any management console which supports SNMP Traps should be able to be integrated with Isis. If your management console does not support SNMP, then integration can be achieved via custom actions, which you can develop.

Run Isis As A Windows Service

Isis can now as a Windows Service, which enables 24x7 operation and server restarts etc. For further information on running Isis as a Windows Service, click on the link.

Automatically Generate Reports And Import Data

Integral now provides two new tools with Isis, called IsisImporter and IsisReportGen, these two tools will import data into the Isis repository and generate reports out side of the Isis console tool respectively. The tools are useful for sites which run Isis in a 24x7 configuration as they can be used to import Tuxedo txrpt data and generate any of the Isis reports automatically.
