IBM Tivoli Monitoring > Version 6.3 > User's Guides > Agent Builder User's Guide > Introduction IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3
New in this release
For version 6.3 of the Tivoli Monitoring Agent Builder, the following enhancements were made since version 6.2.3.1:
- Full agent test: You can test the full agent in the Agent Builder without the need for a Tivoli Monitoring Infrastructure. This feature enhances the attribute group test function that was introduced in version 6.2.3.1. You can use full agent test to select an agent and test all of its attribute groups. See Full agent testing.
- New derived formula functions, floor, ceiling, rate, and delta are added. See Formula operators and functions. The rate and delta functions are in addition to the rate and delta attribute types that are already supported by Agent Builder.
- When you create a log file attribute group, you can search for log files to monitor not only with regular expressions in the file name but also with regular expressions in one subdirectory of the path. See Monitor a log file.
- Socket data sources: You can now configure your agent to accept data from a remote socket port. See Remote socket port connection.
- Ping data sources: When ping device definition files are changed, the agent reinitializes its configuration dynamically, without requiring a restart. See Ping configuration files.
- Agent Builder now runs with Java version 7. All of the Java data providers, including JMX, JDBC, HTTP, and Java API require at least Java version 5.
- Agent Builder now uses a newer version of the Global Secure Toolkit (GSKit) API for encryption in the script data provider. See the restriction noted at Collect script data from a remote system.
