This is the first version compiled with .Net 4.6.2.
A new way to view Collectors has been added - Collector Filtered View.

Collector Filtered View *
You can view a filtered list of Collector states
By Name
By Category
By Value

Previous update broke the visual indication on the main window that a collector has been edited.

Adding template variables.
You can set up variables that will be use to prompt you for a value when use the template.
Use [[Variable Name]] to create a variable named 'Variable Name'
To specify a default value use [[Variable Name:default value]]
Allow using 'exit codes' in PowerShell collector.
You can make use of the exit command and $lastexitcode
Adding sticky main window location and size per Monitor pack.
Option to use either Frequent or Recent application jumplist (From Windows Taskbar)

Fix to Web Service collector to display actual value used for testing alert

Eventlog collector edit fixes and enhancements

This is mostly just an UI refresh
Recent monitor pack menu item moved on main window
Fix tooltip for Open menu item
CollectorMetrics export to CSV
Exclude NotAvailable state unless Include None/Disabled option is enabled
Added Quick toolbars for Collectors and Notifiers

Log file notifier changes
* Can append date to log file name
* Time format inside log file can be specified

Add Edit context menu option on main Window for Collectors.
Added a few more templates (requires reset templates to become visible).
Fixed use of template selection when creating new monitor packs, agent hosts.
Added a 'Skip' button on template selection dialog.
Refreshing of individual collector host (still a bit experimental)
Change log visible from About Dialog.

There is now an option to have the quick recent monitor pack list sorted by display name or not.
Details about which notifiers fired are now visible in the collector detail view.
When setting up 'Success, Warning or Error test conditions for some collectors a context menu provide some shortcut values.

Adding one small but long needed piece of functionality to the File/Directory collector: Search for text in the last X number of lines of a file (Text file implied). This is useful for things like monitoring log files that are constantly updated.

With the shutdown of CodePlex this site will not be maintained anymore. QuickMon is moving to GitHub (in progress).
Thus, this will be last update available for QuickMon on this site.
The application will now point to the GitHub repository for newer updates. -> https://github.com/RudolfHenning/QuickMon/releases

Small fix to correct issue with the open monitor toolbar button on the main window.

Minor update to fix issue with editing security credentials

Small update to fix the 'Expand' on success in the UI
Added a button to edit MonitorPackList.txt when running in Admin mode.

For a Collector Host when using Remote Host and the default p
ort is used only the host name is displayed on main window (UI) (and port is not anymore). This simply makes it easier to read.

Fixed/enhanced the corrective script functionality so it may take parameters as specified in config. Previously only a single batch file or executable was allowed.

This update fixes a bug in some of the SSH based collectors where the Collector host will report a warning when there one or all agents reports an error.
It is now also possible to export/import all current templates (for backup)

Remote Agent Host service can now report on monitor packs serviced plus A few other fixes.

New functionality:
Monitor pack Logging: For troubleshooting and keeping a bit of history the Monitor pack itself can enable logging to a text file. A number of flags can be set what to include in the logging.
Categories: Collectors (hosts) can be tagged with a number of categories which can be used for selective logging (monitoring) or selective alerting. Notifier hosts can be set up to only accept alerts from collectors with a specified (list) of categories.
The QuickMon service now supports multiple instances! This means multiple remote hosts (each with a different port) can be used to service different purposes. Installation of the extra instances is still a manual process (but will be simplified in the future). Use "QuickMonService -help" from the command line for more details.

Minor refresh.
Corrective script paths can now include system environmental variables

Adding as separate download as default link just downloads 32-bit version.

This is a Beta release for 4.1 to test the new functionality of specifying an user account to use for a collector host (aka Impersonation). It is fully compatible with 4.0 (but adds some new config attributes which 4.0 isn't aware of).

This update just fix one issue - The global state of a pack reports Good(or Error) of some collectors are disabled while all others reports Good(or Error).

Cleaned up the main UI plus:
About window now display a link to the latest available version (here on Codeplex)
Bug in WMI collector detail view that ignored the column order specified fixed.
Recent monitor pack file window now allow for clearing the whole list or automatically clean out invalid entries (files that do not exist anymore)

1. The application can now 'de-elevate' itself when running in Admin mode. That is, it can switch to non-admin mode if required.
2. The options to control shortcuts from the application was re-introduced (Pin to Taskbar, Start menu and Desktop).
3. An option to explicitly force UAC prompt if you don't like auto restart as Admin. It also provides a way to remove the Task in Task Scheduler if you like - e.g. if you want to do a total removal/un-install.

Collectors: Ping, Windows Services, File, Perf counter, Event log, Registry and WMI query.
Notifiers: Audio, Event log, In memory (for debugging but not visible yet), Log file, SMTP.
Service: Remote agent host functionality is working.

This version adds one new option with using Remote host functionality. If the remote host service is not available on the remote machine the calling collector can attempt to run from the local machine as a backup.

Fixed an issue where Monitor pack level config variables do not apply when using remote hosts.

1. Config variables at the monitor pack level (global to entire monitor pack for all Collectors)
2. The QuickMon (Windows) service now automatically reloads monitor packs that have been changed since it was started. This means you don't have to restart the service for changes to take effect.

1. Copy/Paste of collectors can now be done across multiple windows/instances.
2. Fixed auto saving (sorry it wasn't noticed before)
3. Quick dropdown recent pack list only display file name (no path) by default. App has setting to enable show full paths if required
4. Collector entries now has setting to enable/disable auto expand on first load. Default is expanded. This gets overridden if child collector has warning/error.

1. Registry collector can now handle binary and string array data (as in regedit)
2. SOAP web service collector marked as deprecated.
3. Event log collector - text can now be tested with regular expressions
4. File collector - file content can now also be search for (including using regular expressions)

1. Adding an Audio/sound notifier that can be used to simply draw attention to the application of a warning pr error state is returned by a collector.
2. Adding a property for Notifiers so it can be set to 'Attended', 'Unattended' or 'Both' modes.
3. Adding a WCF method to remote agent host so the version can be checked remotely.
4. Adding some 'Sample' monitor packs to installer.

1. Polling frequency presets fixed (slow, normal and fast)
2. Added collector call duration to history
3. History now displays time, state, duration and details in separate columns
4. Added a quick launch drop down list to main Window (only visible when mouse hover over it)
5. Removed the toolbar border.
6. Changed Windows service collector to report error only when all services from all machines in list are down.

Adding the ability to see 'history' of Collector states (including details of errors or warnings at that time). The history size is configurable (default is switched off) and the Windows Service completely ignores keeping history (no UI or user to access it anyway).
The Collector stats window now displays this history plus multiple collector stats windows can be opened at the same time.
Additionally fixed a bug in the event log collector that reported an 'Error' state when an 'out of bounds' error happened - which is caused by when something just happens writing to the event log at same time of reading it.

Update: found a bug in some changed code that caused an application crash if specifying a remote host for a new collector. Fixed. Please download again if you already downloaded previous one.
