Still No WebSphere 8.5 Plugin?

[SeanEL]

Its pretty much the only reason we use Hyperic instead of the competition in the past, and that is it's OOTB WebSphere Plugin. However we are now mid-migration from WAS6.1 to WAS8.5 and still can't monitor our systems . We have been promised Q1 2013, then Q2 2013, then Q3 2013 .... still nothing!

We need to make a very fast decision here... can you please definitively state when the plugin will be ready (we don't mind beta versions!).

Thanks

I agree that this has been pushed for too long. We are working on an update which may slip beyond the end of September, but will hopefully be ready at least as a beta very soon. Unfortunately there are major changes that need to be made in the plugin to support the newer versions of WebSphere which are delaying the release.

I will post a request for beta customers here when it is ready, and in the meantime if you or others have specific feedback/requirements for this plugin I would very much be interested to hear.

Thanks ecarmel. You can safely assume we will be willing beta testers! First appliacations will be arriving in the new WAS8.5 production environments in about 2 weeks, by which point we will want to be monitoring them.
