I would like to know if I can use the new SSH sensors included in PRTG 8 with my Linux or Mac OS distribution. On which systems have the sensors been tested?

What about AIX and Sun Solaris Support?

Do I see this right, that WBEM over SSH for all systems is postponed to the next version (8.1)?
Hello, that might be a confusion here. PRTG 8 was release as initial version 8.1, so this is supported NOW.

ok, i feel a bit silly here, but i just don't know how to access an ubuntu server with WBEM. Does ubuntu 10.4 lts has WBEM built in? is there a package which needs to be installed? Could you please update the compatibility table, so that i can stop searching? ;)
