- Zenoss: 2.4 is Now Available
Zenoss Core is an enterprise network and systems management application written in Python/Zope. Zenoss provides an integrated product for monitoring availability, performance, events and configuration across layers and across platforms.
We are proud to announce the release of Zenoss 2.4. The latest Zenoss version was developed in conjunction with our community of more than 40,000 members who provided product input, monitoring extensions, patches and beta testing.
Zenoss 2.4 includes the following new features:
* Set-Up Wizard â? Zenoss Core now includes a guided setup to create users and to easily add devices to be monitored. The easy-to-use setup will prompt Zenoss users for authentication credentials for Windows and Linux/UNIX servers as well as community strings for SNMP devices.
* SSH Monitoring Capabilities â? Zenoss users can now securely access Linux and Unix servers via secure shell to pull performance metrics and develop extensions for deep reporting capabilities of server performance.
* Improved Reporting â? Zenoss now provides the ability to normalize data into common units. Users can now add aliases to data points and convert performance metrics to measures that are consistent across all devices.
* Extended Monitoring Guide â? A new extended monitoring guide provides detailed information on how to gather metrics and outlines best practices for managing IT infrastructure with Zenoss Core. This contains chapters on each Core and Enterprise ZenPack.
In addition to the new features, the documentation has all been refreshed and substantially updated. For this release, there were over 400 external tickets closed, greatly improving the overall stability and reliability of Zenoss Core. We would also like to take the opportunity to thank and highlight the 70+ community-contributed
ZenPacks that are currently available.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in the Zenoss 2.4 â?Blue Crabâ? beta program as well!

- Inforama: Document Automation System 1.2 Released
Inforama - Document Automation. Document templates, generation and distribution. Create letter templates using OpenOffice and import existing Acrobat forms. Merge data to produce high quality PDF documents and automatically email, print and view.
Inforama is a Java based Document Automation system which allows document templates to be created quickly and easily using OpenOffice. Templates are populated with data from parameters and databases before being generated into PDFs for printing and emailing. Version 1.2 includes some significant enhancements and bug fixes.
Hibernate and POJOs integration
Inforama can retrieve data from Hibernate and POJO data sources. Tables and other document elements can be created dynamically based on Hibernate and POJO datasets. For more on this feature go to http://in4ama.org/web/guest/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Java%20Beans
Excel integration
It's now possible to merge documents with data from spreadsheets. This is particularly useful where data has been extracted from a main database in order to carry out one-off mailshots. Spreadsheet data can be extracted using SQL-like syntax providing more control over the rows which are included.
More output formats
Inforama now allows OpenOffice documents to be merged with data and returned as OpenOffice documents which can be edited further. This merging doesn't require OpenOffice to be installed on the machine running the Inforama engine which means that documents can be generated this way on Inforama Enterprise without having to launch OpenOffice.
Plug-in support
Inforama 1.2 introduces some basic plug-in development architecture which allows custom datasources and user screens to be defined. This feature will be extended further with some industty specific plugins in future versions. Look out for the plug-in which allows documents to be generated from data in Salesforce.
Visit the Inforama website at http://www.in4ama.org

- GbDns: R1 released ( Secure your DNS against spoofing! )
Recursive DNS resolver for Windows using query repetition and other techniques to defeat spoofing attacks, with basic authoritative functionality in addition. Coded in C#.
GbDns is intended to be a comprehensive solution to DNS spoofing.
The CERT vulnerability note, VU#800113 explains that you should "Run a local DNS cache". Also, it notes that NAT devices "can reduce source port randomness", which means that source port randomization cannot be relied on for security.
Instead of relying on source port randomization, GbDns defeats spoofing by sending the query two (or more) times, and checks the responses agree ( this is an over-simplification, but sufficient to understand the principle ). To the best of my knowledge, GbDns is the only DNS resolver that does this, and therefore appears to be the only secure solution to DNS resolution.
GbDns runs as a local recursive cache, and only takes a minute or two to install.
Feed cached for the next hour.
