Vancouver, WA, October 30, 2013 – TNT Software, Inc. a well-known leader of Windows event log management and server monitoring solutions officially announced the release of ELM Enterprise Manager Version 6.7.

With ELM’s real-time monitoring, alerting, and reporting, Administrators and IT staff can monitor the health and status of distributed systems and devices from a centralized location. This exciting new release brings with it many new features and refinements that expand the reliability, ease of use, and information ELM provides to proactively manage Windows environments and fortify security policies.

Packed with high-value additions, this is not your average interim release. ELM Enterprise Manager 6.7 includes several powerful new features that by themselves could have justified a major release status. TNT Software is accelerating their product release cycle and packing more value into each released version.

“The new features we’re bringing to the market with this release are really great,” said Brent Skadsen, Vice President of Sales. “The intelligence and ease of use that goes into each new version of ELM never ceases to amaze, and our customers are already generating quite a bit of excitement over ELM Enterprise Manager.”

Key features of the new ELM Enterprise Manager 6.7 Release include:

UI Updates

The ELM Console has been overhauled to improve navigation and flow to Monitoring Categories, Event Views, and Notification Methods. Categories have also been expanded to include both Monitoring and Maintenance for more precise control of system organization and function.

Event Correlation

This new feature is based on ELM’s already powerful Event View technology and combines Filters for ‘Start’ events together with advanced filters and automated timers for ‘End’ Events, providing a powerful tool for any event monitoring environment or situation.

Maintenance Windows

Another new feature introduced in ELM Enterprise Manager 6.7 is the ability to add a “Maintenance Window.” Assigning systems to the new Maintenance Categories disables the launching of notifications during scheduled maintenance when the systems may be offline or generating events which would unnecessarily trigger notifications and distract from operations.

New Reporting Formats

The ELM Editor reporting engine now features the popular PDF as well as CSV format for report output. These new formats will allow users to distribute and customize reports to their liking even more easily.

New Reporting Features

ELM Editor now allows you to quickly and easily assign reports to specific Monitoring Categories or groups of systems within your environment. This new shortcut option makes customizing reports even easier.

Adjusting reporting time frames is also faster now through simple, built-in shortcuts. These can be used to quickly produce and deliver a report for a specific time frame without any query building or extra steps. Reports can also be generated more quickly with a preview option before scheduling the report, making setup and maintenance much faster.

Heartbeat Monitoring

Service Agents now have a more complete end-to-end heartbeat monitoring option which is especially helpful on some quieter systems. A regularly scheduled event is triggered to keep administrators informed that systems are still operational, even with little other activity being logged.

A free 30-day trial version of ELM Enterprise Manager 6.7 is available for download at www.firemtsoftware.com.
