ObserveIT v5.3: What’s New
Versions and Pricing
What's right for you?
The latest release of ObserveIT includes new feature enhancements that further strengthen its ability to deploy in enterprise-scale environments.
File system storage options
v5.3 adds additional storage management options by allowing you to choose file system for storage of screen image captures, instead of the default SQL database storage. This capability is useful for deployments where automated backup and management is stronger for file storage than for databases.Japanese support
Starting with v5.3, we launch a fully localized version of ObserveIT in Japanese. Localization includes complete Japanese UI as well as full support for Japanese content in audit log display, search and navigation.
Expanded API Capabilities
- The ObserveIT Agent API now has greater support for multiple concurrent sessions,
including the ability to trigger recording for specific users only. (ex: if two users are
currently logged into a specific server, you can use the API to tell
the agent to start recording only the session of User A, but do not record User B.)
- The API can also be used to trigger an agent-initiated health check, to validate registry entries and existence of active app in sessions list.
Additional feature enhancements
- You can now implement a centralized web console that displays audit recording data from multiple federated
ObserveIT deployments. For example, if you have two distinct production environments, each one being monitored by
a separate deployment of ObserveIT, you can set up a centralized web console that will show integrated results from
both environments. The centralized web console honors the security and user access policy rules that are specified per
local ObserveIT installation.
- v5.3 includes integrated support for ActiveX-based client deployment. ActiveX clients are useful for monitoring of cloud-based applications.
