Name	Module	Description
Unknown alarm level	Alarm	PVSR has a new alarm level besides the old ones (Critical, Major, Warning and Minor), called Unknown. If a measurement has thresholds but neither of them is violated if the measurement is unsuccessful then PVSR creates automatically an Unknown threshold. These thresholds are violated if the measurement is unsuccessful for a given number of minutes or a given number of collection cycles
New acknowledgment window	Alarm	Users can now cancel the acknowledgement operation and also use a multi-line acknowledgement comment field
Refresh cycle	Alarm	The refresh cycle can be changed on the real-time alarm pages (the default is still set on the Preferences page) and the time until the next refresh cycle is displayed on the page as well
Synchronized refreshes	Alarm	If the current tab shows an alarm page and it is refreshed/changed then PVSR automatically refreshes the alarm summary in the upper right corner, regardless of when the next refresh cycle should occur
Detailed alarm page	Alarm	The measured values are formatted (K, M, G and enumeration values) and the threshold expression is displayed for non-administrator users as well
Acknowledged alarms + alarm levels	Preferences	The user can change in the preferences whether PVSR should show acknowledged alarms by default or not. The alarm levels to be shown can be set in the preferences as well (multiple-choice list)
Threshold description	Threshold	Description can be added to thresholds and is displayed in the alarm console table if the user places the cursor over the threshold name
Description and comments in the Excel export	Alarm	The description is present in the Excel export, as is any alarm comments written by the users
Maintenance window for individual thresholds	Threshold	Maintenance windows can be specified for individual thresholds as well, not just for equipments
Custom email notifications	Threshold	Additional parameters can be used in the custom email notifications: Business hours Expression Notification emails Separate pre-post texts for Unknown threshold levels User can specify a custom email template when specifying an email address with bulk threshold notifications, in which case PVSR will use the pre and post texts from that email template
Threshold export	Threshold	Users can search recursively by any parent site and equipment (normal and virtual) on the threshold export page
Connection loss notification	WEB	PVSR displays a red notification if the connection to the WEB server is lost
Element paging	WEB	PVSR can be configured to display only a maximum number of sites/equipments on the Alarms/Measurements/Site and equipment configuration page at once
Version change notification	WEB	If the PVSR version is changed and the client side Javascript library version is not matching the server version then the user receives a notification
Submenu display	WEB	If the submenus do not fit on the area allocated to them then PVSR displays a drop-down menu instead of a scrollable menu area
Print option	WEB / JavaScript charts	The print page option is allowed for JavaScript charts as well, not just for image charts
Equipment UDAs	On-demand reports	On-demand reports can display equipment user defined attributes too
Parent site specification	Measurements – Virtual equipment creation	The parent site can be set when creating a virtual equipment on the Measurement page and the system automatically offers a suitable parent site
PostgreSQL collector	PostgreSQL collector	PVSR can monitor PostgreSQL databases
Oracle VM collector	Oracle VM collector	PVSR can monitor Oracle VM virtualization
Images and summary	Thick-client collector	The application monitoring log diagnostic page shows the images searched for by the test and it also shows a summary for the checkpoints, including their result and when they occured
New calls	Thick-client collector	The application monitoring framework includes new Python subroutines
Heatmaps	WEB	Several data collectors offer heatmap visualization as collector pages, based on the collected values: Storage VMware Oracle VM Hyper-V
Cluster discovery	Hyper-V collector	PVSR handles the machines in a cluster environment, meaning that even if just one cluster element is specified in PVSR, it will still discovery every cluster element and every VM running on them and it can also handle the migration of a VM from one machine to the other
Data collection cycle statistics	Servers	PVSR shows for each active collector server and each data collection cycle the number of seconds remaining at the end of each collection cycle
Discovered UDAs	Data collectors	PVSR includes UDAs which are not modifiable on the UI but which are discovered and re-discovered automatically using the data collector API: MS Hyper-V Microsoft SQL MySQL Oracle OracleVM PostgreSQL Unix/Linux VMware WS-Man
Icons	WEB	New equipment icons are added to PVSR
Non-existing measurements	Equipment template reapply	The “Run equipment template” and the automatic template reapply both can be used to delete non-existing measurements (i.e. measurements which were discovered before but are no longer available for the equipment)
Test email	Email	PVSR can send a test email to a configured email address
Multiple source email addresses	Email	PVSR can be configured so that the different modules (report, threshold and web) use different source addresses when sending out an email
Configuration session	CORE	When the user logs in on the UI, PVSR starts a configuration session and all the changes made during that session are grouped together
User name and group-in-group	LDAP authentication	The LDAP authentication can be configured to use a separate LDAP attribute as the name of the user. The module can also handle group-in-group Windows AD configuration
New/modified measurement types	Synthetic transaction collector	AJP ping SSL certificate SSL support for POP3/SMTP measurements
New/modified measurement types	Unix/Linux collector	SW raid TNS ping NTPd state DNS availability Number of files opened by a process Number of files opened by a user Interface bond Process measurements filter by user name and arguments
New/modified measurement types	Oracle collector	Process count Session count Uptime
Supported systems	Installer	PVSR now supports Red Hat / CentOS / Oracle Linux 7 with Oracle 12 client and the Oracle 12 client is also supported on Red Hat / CentOS / Oracle Linux 6. Solaris and SUSE Linux is no longer supported.
