You now have the ability to add a language portlet to any page. This portlet
allows you to change the language that OMNM displays.
The home page now shows a language portlet that allows you to change the
language that OMNM displays. This allows any user to select their preferred
language by clicking one of the buttons and this will take effect right away and it
does not affect any other users. By default, there are buttons shown for English,
Spanish, and French. This portlet can be configured to show different language
buttons by clicking on the wrench icon in the upper right and then selecting
Configuration. From the popup window, you can change the language options
that are shown within the portlet. Note that even when you change the
language, some content will remain in English. For Spanish and French, most of
the content was translated and for other languages such as Chinese, Finnish,
Portuguese, etc, only a small portion of the content was translated, but it is
possible to configure OMNM to show all content in one of these languages. See
the Localization chapter of the User Guide for information on how to do this
configuration. (27818)
In addition to the Language portlet the following portlets are available to be
added to a page:
- Dictionary (helps you look up words and uses Dictionary.com)
- Network utilities (simple DNS lookup and whois, which is to lookup autono-
mous system names and numbers)
- Password generator (creates a password string that you can choose to use if you
want, but this portlet has no effect on authentication by itself)
- Quick Note (lets you enter notes)
- Search (searches the media postings within OMNM)
- Sign In (displays the name of the user who is currently signed in)
- Unit converter (calculates unit conversion)
- iframe (makes it possible to embed another HTML page inside the current
page)
- web proxy (allows showing any website or any content accessible using HTTP
as if it was a portlet)
Added ability to export performance graph to CSV. There is an export button to
each chart in the launched dashboard, when the button is clicked a job is created
and a message is created in the My Alerts when the csv file is ready. Clicking on
the magnifying glass next to the “Performance CSV report is now ready for
viewing” message causes the file to be downloaded. (28014)
You can now copy a report templates. (27802)
The Canvas Line Charts option controls the type of line charts that are used.
Earlier versions of Dell OpenManage Network Manager used a Scalable Vector
Graphics type line chart. Now it supports a Canvas based line chart which can
display many more points. If you prefer to use the old style SVG line charts you
can uncheck this box. Please note that in the expanded traffic analyzer portlet
the Export to PDF option is not available for canvas based line charts. If you need
to use this feature you should uncheck the box. (27920) (28057)
The ability to exclude a specific IP address on discovery profiles is limited to IPv4
only. IPv6 discovery at this time does not support ranges or subnets so exclusion
is not necessary. (27765)
