ISPadmin 5.06 beta2

RELEASE DATE: May 16, 2019

Filter Internet services based on the “Contract period until” parameter

We have added a Contract period until filter to the overview of Internet services (Clients / Internet).
You can find the new filter option in the Details menu.
Once you select it, two new fields appear: FROM and TO. You can define a specific interval, or you can specify only the FROM part or the TO part.

Hardware / Routers / Router status / BW test

Column Test start added
Column Test status added: You can activate/deactivate a test here.
If you set the test start date to a later date, the test gets marked as ready to start.

Hardware / Settings / Ping settings

Four more settings have been added to the page:
- Number of ping requests within a single process
- Number of ping processes
- Process start delay
- Influx DB cache size
These settings can used to optimize the way ping works.
The predefined values are the recommended ones. Do not change them unless there is a compelling reason for you to do that!

Scheduling / Form Add/Edit a task

In the form, you can choose any number of technicians. Formerly, it was possible to assign only three technicians to any given task.
Document multiupload feature implemented: It is possible to upload more than one file at a time.
You can create any number of invoice items.

Further changes

Client card / Items from Inventory: Order by date option in the list of a client’s goods fixed
Scheduling / Unscheduled: During task assignment, you can choose any number of technicians.
Scheduling / Report: Price for work and Time spent are calculated “in the same way”, but the calculation is not limited to technicians.
Other / Bulk / Action: The Is not option in the filters did not work correctly.

ISPadmin 5.06 beta1

RELEASE DATE: April 25, 2019

Ping

Reworked engine for retrieval of information about device availability using the ping method
Formerly, the fping utility was used. However, over time it became clear that the utility was not capable of handling a really large number of devices (5000+). Moreover, with it, it was impossible to set individual ping parameters in detail (timeout, packet size, number of requests within one cycle, interval between individual ping requests within one cycle, …).
Now all these parameters can be modified. The system is capable of handling 15000+ devices in one 5-minute cycle.
Ping configuration can be carried out in Hardware / Settings / Ping settings. If you do not see the tab in the menu, please check your user account settings in Settings / Administrators / Administrators. There are two relevant checkboxes: Read and Edit. Users who are allowed to edit routers will also be automatically allowed to edit ping configuration.
Hardware / Settings / Ping settings: You can set all the parameters for all the different types of devices (routers, switches, headends, devices connected to routers, individual Internet services, client end devices, modems, …) as well as for all the individual devices.
New item Valid until (= validity of the particular monitoring settings)
You can enable or disable default monitoring of a particular type of devices. The only exception is routers. This way you can fine-tune your system.
Since the entire monitoring system must cover a large number of devices, its use may lead to an increase in CPU load and higher utilization of the hardware resources.
By default, monitoring of routers, switches, devices connected to routers and headends is activated. If there is no significant change in the utilization of the hardware resources, it is possible to manually activate monitoring of other types of devices as well.
Ping processes are parallel proccesses that run in the background.
Client card / Active services / Particular Internet service: There is a new button Set up monitoring with the help of which you can set ping for a given Internet service.

Ping graphs

New ping graphs use Javascript.
Graphs include not only average latency values, but also maximum and minimum ones.
When you hover the mouse pointer over a certain place on a graph, a tooltip appears with precise latency and packet loss values.
It is possible to zoom in or out.
You can switch between different views (Day, Week, Month, Year).
If you want to look at all the different views at the same time, you can use the All button to do that.
During a transition period, the system will store not only the new graphs, but also the original RRD ones. As a consequence, the graph data will take up more disk space. Also, CPU load will be higher.
Client card / Active services / Particular Internet service: There is a new button Client monitoring. If you click on it, relevant ping graphs will appear.
!!! Because of all these changes, the upgrade process may take longer to complete. After upgrade, the system will convert the original graphs to the new ones (in the background). Please wait until the process is finished.

Allocation of goods to clients in the Client card

When allocating goods to a particular client in their Client card, you can have the system show you even the goods allocated to other clients.
It is possible to edit the description of allocated items.
New buttons have been added for easier access to the Edit mode.

Line breaks on invoices

Before: The system did not allow line breaks to occur within a single invoice item. That could cause problems when item descriptions were too long.
Now: The system automatically divides long item desciptions into individual lines.
Invoice layout changed: The table gets adjusted automatically depending on the number of items on a given invoice.

New menu for mobile devices

Responsive menu in the Client card fixed
Row height increased

Automatic removal of inactive interfaces

Settings / Syst. settings / General: New setting added: autoremove_old_interfaces
Here you can specify the number of days for which a router interface must be inactive for it to be automatically deleted from the newtork interfaces table.
This feature can be used, for example, to delete dynamic WDS interfaces that are displayed in the router overview even though they do not exist any more.

Statistics / Client stat. / By tariff

Database communication optimized
Change value for January fixed. Formerly: always 0. Now: according to the December of last year.

Further changes

New system variable $CLI_RETURNED_CONTRACT$(replaced with the contents of the relevant field in the Client card)
