The result: increased visibility and business observability capabilities. We also offer enhancements and fixes on existing connectors.

5 New monitoring connectors
There are five new monitoring packs to discover this month.
- Azure Policies States: Use this connector to monitor the compliance status of Azure policies.
- Control-M Rest API: Use this new pack to monitor jobs in the Control-M job scheduler using the REST API.
- Riello UPS SNMP: Use this pack to monitor the status of the battery, alarms, power source metrics and output lines for this UPS.
- Oracle Universal Connection Pool: This Java-based tool allows reusing connections by caching connection objects to the database. This Plugin Pack monitors the usage of each connection pool and helps you deploy monitoring through an Auto-Discovery rule. As the name of the pack indicates, the objects are monitored using a JMX agent.
