HipCheck - New Enhancements in 1.1 Audit Trail The HipCheck Portal web admin pages now have an Audit Trail report, where an account administrator can view recent HipCheck event, alert, and action activity, selectable by past number of days and sortable by user name, monitored system name, or type of activity. New Windows Mobile and Windows native client user interface The HipCheck Windows Mobile and Windows native client has undergone some readily apparent user interface changes. Graphical icons and buttons are more prevalent everywhere. The view menu has been removed, instead the mechanism for selecting a view has now been combined with changing the monitored system via a horizontal drop-down bar. In addtion, a "refresh view" icon has been added to the right of the view timestamp for refreshing the view. The startup options have been removed (None, Summary, First system). Instead HipCheck always defaults to None, allowing the user to pick the system and view they want. The account edit screen has been simplified, modifying the Mobility Server endpoint has been moved to a sub-screen. Greatly enhanced command execution The "execute command" action has been significantly enhanced. Now, any command can be typed in and executed from the client. Similarly, agent-specified commands that exist via the previous command mechanism may be editing on the client, to allow customization of command-line arguments. However, this capability does potentially constitute a reliability risk, since typing on mobile phones is subject to error. Accordingly, there is a setting in the HipCheck Portal Settings page that allows a HipCheck administrator to turn off client-typed commands on a per-account basis. Futhermore, it is now possible to see the output of executed commands. A check-box on the execute command screen specifies whether to capture the output of the command. When capturing the command output, the command will be executed in the background and the output will show up in the new Tasks Results view. The Task Results view will show output for any commands executed in the past 24 hours. As before, executed commands must not be interactive, and if output is not requested, they should be able to execute in less than 30 seconds. Re-authentication before actions As an added security measure, it is now possible to specify that re-authentication is required before performing any actions (such as stop service, execute command, etc.). This is done on the HipCheck Portal Settings page, where a HipCheck administrator can turn off the default setting of allowing actions without re-authentication. If this setting is made, the client user will experience a password prompt screen being displayed, requesting the HipCheck account password. Software inventory list view You can now view all the software packages/programs that are installed on a monitored system. Log file size alerts You can generate an alert if a log file size exceeds a specified threshold. This is useful in cases where no particular diagnostic message is alarming, but the overall number of them is. Service startup mode On the Service actions screen you can change the start mode for the service (Windows: auto, manual or disabled; Unix: enabled or disabled). The Services view has also been enhanced to show the start-up mode. Power management support From the System Info view you can generate an alert if system goes onto battery or UPS power, and optionally generate an alert when the system is back onto A/C power. Improved Domain Controller support On Windows Servers systems, there is now improved performance for running the HipCheck Windows agent on a Domain Controller with large numbers of users. Active Directory authentication support When authenticating Windows systems via the admin pages, the username and password can now be authenticated via Active Directory in addition to the local Adminstrator account on the Windows system.
