Netmon Inc. Releases 3.6

Major New Features

Low Level Packet Capture Netmon 3.6 can now "record" network activity - payload and all - in a compatible format for further analysis in Ethereal client software.

Keyword Report Network Activity Reports can now be filterd by keyword match. (i.e. 'monster','cnn','xxx', etc.)

Disk Activity Report Plot disk activity graphically over a user-defined time interval. Printable report.

File Manager You can now view/download backup files, packet captures, internal logs and user-defined MIBs from a single repository.

Enhanced Logging Facilities Each Netmon background service now has its own logging facility. You can adjust the logging verbosity for each of these services in Settings > Netmon Services.

Easier Configuration Netmon system services can now be configured entirely from the web interface.
