The first, initial release consists of the following components/versions.

  • Cartographer GUI version 0.27
  • Agent engine (xmpd) version 0.72
  • MIB2 plugin version 0.91
  • Cartographer plugin version 0.41

Known Issues

  • Some default installations of 64-bit Linux do not automatically include 32-bit versions of libxml and libz and thus need to be installed by hand.
  • Some default installations of 64-bit Linux do not automatically include a 32-bit libgcc_s which is required by pthreads_cancel(). If not present, the library can be installed by hand.
  • Occasional segmentation-fault on UNIX.
  • New and improved Windows Vista security makes running ntsetup and cartographertray a real chore.
  • Automatic upgrades sometimes (very rarely) fail because agent engine takes too long to stop and re-start.
  • Windows use of reserved ports during dynamic binding fools some dependency determination. For example, an application may ask for a dynamically-bound TCP port and be assigned the well-known and/or reserved port of 1812 thus triggering a false Radius dependency.
  • Dependencies determined via TCP port allocation may be missed of the connections are short-lived.
  • XML DTDs or Schemas are needed for XMP and MIBs.
  • IPv6 support is included but still needs more work with respect to DNS.
