Today we are releasing an update to one of our Add-Ins, WHS Health (v1.0.0.10).
Following feedback we have added an icon to the home page to give an at a glance status of the server health (in the same way you see in your system tray on your desktop). We’ve also reworked the console page itself as well as updated the icon set used to give a more consistent look and feel.
There were a couple of minor issues in the first release, so hopefully we’ve squashed those bugs but I’ve done some major reconstruction on the installer so we now pre-configure each element with a default setting without having to go to the Settings Tab.
The main highlights for this release are:-
- Renamed Console Errors to Console Status
- Icon Added to Console Status Item
- Updated Icons
- Better handling of “non standard” web site configurations. I’d like to thank Snowdins for highlighting his neat Custom Action he worked on for P80.
- WebSites.XML for both home and remote pages updated on install and cleaned on uninstall.
- Changes in Settings tab now correctly applied when the OK or Apply button is clicked
- Correct specification of secure and non-secure URLs in remote pages
Updated Home Page now shows the Console Status Icon
Also updated Icons for the Healthy, Critical, Warning and Backup Running Alerts.
You can download this, and any of the other MediaSmartServer.net Add-Ins from the Add-In Page.

Good work Nigel, these are some nice improvements that should make for a better experience for users.
Good stuff Nigel. I may have to test t his out to see how it looks on my iPod Touch

Great work Nigel. If you are interested in a German localization let me know.
Could do that for you.
Bjoern that would be great if you could.
Sure I can, send me a mail to disuss everything.
Now that I have my new HTC EVO Android phone I decided to once again test this Add-In and it works perfectly. While it did work with my other phone the screen was too small and the display was as I recall abit off but that was a Windows Mobile phone
Hi, can you add to WHS Health Add-In the feature to Shutdown/Hibernate WHS server via AutoExit 2009, like P80 makes. Info on http://snowdins.wordpress.com/
