Monitoring on virtual machines
The Enterprise and Architect editions of the program support a new monitoring approach that allows monitoring on virtual machines hosted by Hyper-V and VMware servers. In Installation Repackaging Wizard, you can choose the corresponding option and select a VM for repackaging. The program connects to the selected VM remotely and uses it for monitoring only. A package is generated by the program based on the monitoring results collected from the VM. Such a monitoring approach allows you to switch the monitoring environment easily, because you don't need to install the program on the VM, which is required for monitoring on the local machine.
VM profiles
A new dialog is introduced to manage virtual machines used for repackaging. It is available in the Enterprise and Architect editions of the program, which support repackaging on virtual machines. In the dialog, you can add Hyper-V and VMware servers, as well as configurations of VMs hosted on the servers. These configurations are called VM profiles. In Installation Repackaging Wizard, you can select a VM profile to perform repackaging on the corresponding virtual machine. You can configure profiles for different VMs that you plan to use for repackaging and then select a suitable profile when you configure a repackaging operation.
Checking the monitoring environment issues
To make sure that the monitoring environment follows the best practices, the program runs an automatic check to detect possible issues before the start of the monitoring process. The program checks if Windows Update and other services, which may generate unwanted changes, have been stopped. The program detects running applications and displays a dialog with a list of discovered issues. You can let the program resolve those issues automatically by stopping the services and closing the running programs to prevent unwanted changes from appearing in the monitoring results and in the package to be generated.
Added command-line interface
The command-line interface allows you to use the main features of the program by running the corresponding commands. Using the commands, it is possible to perform monitoring on the local machine, generate packages in different formats, export/import and sign packages.
Projects export/import
To transfer a project to another machine or for backup purposes, you can export it as a single file. The exported file can be imported in another copy of the program, so you can generate a package based on the project content.
Filter conditions
The monitoring filters configured in the program Preferences can now include conditions used to specify when a filter can be applied. In a filter condition, you can specify the Operating Systems, the OS build number and the OS platform. This feature allows you to use different filters for monitoring in different environments. It is helpful if you perform monitoring on different virtual machines.
Added support of machines with File System Redirection
Now it is possible to run Enterprise and Architect editions of the program on machines that use File System Redirection. Installations monitoring doesn't work on machines with File System Redirection, but you can use the option to monitor on a virtual machine and use the local machine for package generation only.

Optimized monitoring engine
The new monitoring engine was designed to optimize the monitoring performance and reduce the system workload. The new engine reduces the CPU workload by 50% and the memory consumption by 25%. The data storage mechanism has also been optimized to reduce the disk storage consumption by 25%.
Monitoring of 8,000+ hosts
The new monitoring engine allows increasing the number of monitored hosts with no hardware upgrade. Using the Enterprise edition of the program, you can monitor 8,000+ hosts on modern hardware. It's three times as many hosts as it is possible to monitor using the previous version of the program on the same hardware configuration. The practical limit of monitored hosts depends on the used hardware.
High-precision latency measurement
The Professional and Enterprise editions of the program include high-precision latency measurement with 0.01ms precision. It allows using the program in low-latency networks for precise measurements of the ping latency. High-precision latency measurement is enabled by default, except in the Free edition, which uses the Windows standard latency measurement with 1ms precision.
Client/server architecture and remote access
The Free and Professional editions of the program now use the same client/server architecture as the Enterprise edition. The server works as a Windows service to perform hosts monitoring, send notifications and generate reports. A GUI client can connect to the server and work with the collected information. All editions now provide a monitoring web interface. The Free edition of the program allows establishing a single connection to the server. The Professional edition allows two concurrent connections to the server. The Enterprise edition doesn't limit the number of simultaneous connections.

- Windows compatibility improvements
