What’s New In up.time 7
Latest Release: up.time 7.1
up.time's 7.1 release is all about providing more flexibility, custom dashboards, easier integration and faster performance (read more on this below). To create an effective IT management process, tooling must collect and share data across applications in exactly the format needed, without requiring administrators to spend hundreds of hours on integration services. Performance, availability and capacity management and monitoring is only a piece of the IT puzzle, so it’s essential to use tools that can easily integrate with the rest of your applications. up.time’s new open RESTful API makes it easy to integrate data from up.time, including inventory and availability metrics, into any application in your enterprise.
- New, Customizable Dashboards
- 64-bit Monitoring Stack for 100% increase in up.time's Performance
- Easier Administration with Faster Auto-Discovery
- Fast integration with other IT and Business Applications (via up.time's new RESTful API)

New, Custom Dashboards
- Display availability data in a way that makes sense to the business.
Availability & Status Listing: Easily extract the current status of all of your elements & monitors along with detailed listings of recent availability information.
Topology Listing: Build dynamic topology maps that help you understand the impact and root cause of any monitor outage.
- See and respond to issues from a cell phone or tablet.
Mobile Friendly User Interface: Built using the up.time API, the mobile up.time interface allows users to quickly review any outages or performance issues and respond from the comfort of a mobile device.
- Visually gauge the impact of an outage and quickly navigate to it with infrastructure topology views.
Dynamic Topology Mapping: Built using the up.time API, the dynamic topology tree allows you to view the status of the entire IT environment at the highest level and quickly drill down to the source of an outage in just a few clicks. This topology view is customizable, letting users slice and dice the topology in a way that gets to the root of issues faster.
- Show the status of IT with dashboard views that makes sense to management.
Dashboards for Any Status, Using Any Background: The up.time drag and drop dashboard builder (using the up.time API) allows users to use any background image and display the status of key infrastructure components or applications anywhere on the image. World maps show the status of your datacenters, images of the datacenter with key server status icons, IT service images display the health of each component, and much more. Customize dashboards with images to show your datacenters, servers, applications, networks and IT services in the way that makes the most sense for your IT department.
- A single dashboard that aggregates the status of datacenters around the world.
Global Health Dashboards: Using the up.time API, it's possible to link together inventory and availability information from several unique up.time installations, and other key monitoring applications, into one global dashboard for a unified view across all facets of IT.
- Quickly know what assets are being monitored.
Element & Group Listing: Easily list all of the elements and system groups you have configured in up.time.
Service Monitor Listing: See exactly which service monitors exist on a target element or in a target system group.

- Element Type & Licensing Summary: See how you are monitoring each of your elements and what type of licenses they are consuming.
Simplified Licensing Model
uptime provides a simple, flexible, cost-effective and easy to understand license model. Each monitored element requires a single element license, regardless of the device type (physical server, virtual server, network device), the size (number of switch ports or server CPUs), the operating system (Windows, UNIX, Linux, etc) or the virtualization technology (VMware, Hyper-V, etc).
- Each element license provides total access to the up.time suite, including unlimited service
monitors, application monitors, performance data collection, capacity management and access to all graphing, reporting, dashboards and SLA features. - A simple, single price per monitored element (physical server, virtual server, network device or any system with an IP address).
- Flexible and easy to manage. Simply count the number of devices (or IP addresses) you want to monitor.
- Access the complete up.time capability suite. No modules, add-ons or extra management packs required to enable further functionality.
- Multi-datacenter management and monitoring capabilities.
- Volume and industry discounts (government, education, non-profit organization) available.
For example, each virtual server and each virtual instance is considered an element. If you have a server with 10 virtual instances on it, you would need 11 element licenses (1 server and 10 instances).

“We looked at a stack of solutions, including the larger tier vendors, but the timelines to deployment and costs were unreasonable. I’d had a few recommendations from peers on up.time and it really stood out as a quick deployment and quick results software solution. I would absolutely recommend up.time, as they’re not just a product, but a company that has become more of a partner with us. I couldn’t be happier with it.” - Stephen Boucher, Unix Infrastructure manager, Toll Holdings Group |
