The fine folks at Intergral, makers of the FusionReactor monitor for CF and other servers, have quietly released a new FusionReactor 3 today.

The key new features are:

  • An improved Enterprise Dashboard, built on Flex, with additional new info and even an Air-based version (the latter still in beta)
  • Substantially improved request metrics (system overview) page, with new graphs and data (since the Dashboard is only in the FR Enterprise edition, this is a real plus for FR standard users) and also slow query tracking
  • dramatic new zoom feature in graphs, to zoom in a range of time intervals
  • improved logging, especially useful for post-mortem analysis
  • ability to fire a script/batch file when a server monitored in the Enterprise dashboard stops/starts (has long been able to send you email and/or log those events)
  • support for multiple user logins with optional varying access levels, including new "manager" and "observer" roles in addition to the normal "admin" role
  • abiliity to track cpu available in the system against CPU used by a monitored instance
  • ability to view/delete requests queued by FR crash protection queuing

You can learn more about what's new, and upgrade pricing.

I'll blog more about many other little things that have changed--the good ol' "hidden gems" I like to do.

How can they release a retail product based on a technology that has not even officially shipped yet -- Flex 3? Or did I miss an announcement from Adobe?

That was my bad, Troy. Between the FR product being "3" and my planning to attend the Flex 3 tour event in Atlanta tonight, I just misspoke. Nowhere on the FusionReactor site do they say it's Flex 3. I've corrected the entry above.

Now, I hope instead people can focus on the more important aspects of the announcement. Why is it that only controversial things seem to draw comment?! :-)

Thanks for the additional information, Charlie. Now I will try to help...WOW! What an AWESOME looking update! This should make an already stellar product just that much better!

Happy? [grin]

In all seriousness, it does look like a very fine product. I look forward to your updated review...I really appreciated your comparisons of the different CF monitoring tools.
