  • Handling NaN sample in Alert: This feature allows handling NaN samples in moving/fixed window average and baseline.
  • Alert value and threshold value “NaN” is replaced by “No Data” if capacity alert generated for “No Data Available” condition.
Graph Types
  • Failure Count and Failure percentage is displayed in the tool tip of GEO map.

NetDiagnostics

General

  • Redesign of URL capturing for Http tier callout
  • Default NDEntrypoints file instead of NA if user have not provided in configuration file
  • Feature in configuration file to remove suffix
  • Some changes related to socket handling
  • Forkjoin callout
  • Exception capturing using logger API

  • Feature in configuration file for Tier/Server/Instance limit
Configuration
  • Edit of Session Attribute rules: This feature enables editing of Session Attribute rules and Drop down validation for HTTP Stats monitor.
  • Additional integration point in integration point detection window.
NetDiagnostics Implementation in Jenkins
  • For calculating ND stats, NetDiagnostics Performance Report are configured by adding this in Post-build action for ND Test.
  • Provided Current time duration Period, Baseline time duration, Initial time duration, and include previous time period check box in ND Test.
  • Provided Enter CheckProfile name for CheckProfile Rule in NetDiagnostics Performance Publisher.

NetVision

  • NV-NF and NF-NV Integration
  • Bots Filtering in NV Agent
  • Transaction Related changes

Synthetic Monitor

  • Enhancement in Request Detail Page:  More options are provided in drop-down list, such as After DomContent, After OnLoad, and Custom Time.

NetForest

  • NFAgent now take configuration for parsing from NFDB. This was required for CloudEnv where our config changes were getting overwritten by the base image. In case NFDB is unreachable or config index not present, it fallback to reading configuration from files. And environment variables are stored in only one file. This allows a user to add/change parsers for logs without changing the build.
  • LogApi integration: A new API is created to send serialized events from NFAgent to NFDB for better performance.
  • Many new parsers are implemented for client’s environment.
  • In case of any issues in NFAgent, prevent CMON from crashing.
  • Exception names should be separate field for stacktrace to create graph etc. for specific exceptions.

NetOcean

KPI
  • Simulate new call from NO UI: This is used to simulate new PinPad call through UI. Also, user can see all the simulated call on UI.
  • Parameterization of the response call same as others services.
  • Feature to send the sync id which is generated by OMS to send the PinPad (NO).

Monitors

  • Redis DB stats monitor: This monitor is for redis database stats it will show the information regarding total keys, keyspace pending expirations, average time to live.
  • Zookeeper Node stats: Zookeeper Node Stats provides metrics for latency, network throughput etc.
  • Access Log with journalctl: This is an enhanced feature to capture access log metrics with the help of journalctl command. This command output contains all message information occurred in the application.
  • JSON extension: Till now user was able to apply set of monitor on one of the tier. Now user will be able to apply same set of monitor on multiple tier at same time. Same user can apply for multiple servers and instances. Following features are implemented:
    • Multiple tiers support
    • Multiple servers support
    • Exclude one or multiple tiers and servers
    • Instance support for instance level monitors
