Our older customers surely know that, in its earliest releases, NetEye 4 had no support for multitenancy. From a data perspective, there’s just one big bin we throw everything into to be used later. Then, a debate about multitenancy began. Here at Würth Phoenix we’ve discussed at length about the best way to segregate data…
Read MoreAt the 36th Chaos Communication Congresses back before COVID forced a three year break, I attended a talk from the German tech-blogger Fefe. There he talked about the “nützlich-unbedenklich Spektrum” or in English, the useful – harmless spectrum. He argued that all software lies on that spectrum to some degree. Of course one could argue…

Recently a customer asked me how to manage downtime with a similar solution, but for several hundred Linux servers monitored under NetEye. The reason is very simple:…

Read MoreA very important, fast-evolving area during the latest NetEye releases has been multi-tenancy. In a system with many tenants, the most complex aspect is probably the proper and orderly management of user permissions. To help administrators in this task, we have introduced the concept of tenant role in NetEye 4.29. The tenant role is a…

Also, the “Show all graphs” option available from the Actions menu of each monitored Host can have different usage limits due to the presence…
