Release Date: 13-April-2022

Major Features
Image Map Panel Update

Statseeker’s Image Map panel now offers the ability to add links and configure those links to report timeseries or event data. This functionality greatly expands the range of use-cases for the Image Map panel, including the creation of interactive network topology maps.

For more details, see Image Map.



Ping RTT Comparison Dashboard

Offers a detailed view into the historical Ping data for a device, or directly compares that data across two devices. The dashboard features:

  • Variable driven coloring rules – dynamically assign threshold values to suit the specific devices being reviewed in the dashboard and have the data colored according to those values
  • Drilldowns to historical ping-outage data
