Release Notes SDDM v4.8.0

New Features

• User-created Graphs for Attribute Analysis
  • Create Graphs and Blueprint Graphs to apply visualize the historical value of numeric Attributes over time, relative to others of the same, or another, Configuration Item. Then export the graph as an image or CSV file for sharing and further analysis.
  • Explore > Graph > Details: Use the Graph Details feature to display any available existing Graphs at a specific date, time, or range, and see all plotted Attribute values at the time, and when those values were collected.
  • Explore > Graph > Analysis: Use an existing Graph or Attribute as a starting point, or start fresh, to add up to 5 Attributes to plot together on the same chart, and in the same timeframe. See where Maintenance Windows happened relative to the Attribute collection and set Markers at specific values for comparison.
• Enhanced Microsoft Azure Discovery Jobs
  • In addition to virtual machines, Microsoft Azure Discovery Jobs will find hosted applications: SQL Server instances, Service Bus instances, Static Web Applications, Dynamic Web Applications. Each one will be created as a CI with its public IP or URL, and will receive a set of Custom Inventory Fields enumerating all available data about the device, and some type-specific things based on the discovered instance:
    • Dynamic Web Applications will receive 2 CSV lists: Outbound IP Addresses, Enabled Host Names.
    • SQL Server instances will receive a CSV list of hosted Databases.
    • Service Bus instances will receive a CSV list of available Queues.
  • All discovered items will receive:
    • A CSV list of Azure-defined Tags.
    • A Custom Inventory Field, Service Group assignment, and FireScope Tag for their "Subscription" name.
    • A Custom Inventory Field, Logical Group assignment, and FireScope Tag for their "Resource Group" name.
    • A Logical Group assignment, FireScope Tag, and Inventory Asset Type to match the kind of discovered instance.

• Integration Manager > CMDB Federation > Matrix42
  • A new Extension is available for federating Configuration Items, Service Groups, and Dependencies into ESM from FireScope. The SDDM UI implementation of the federation has been removed.
  • This integration is now replaced with a new ESM-side integration: SDDM Data Provider - CI, Service, Dependency Federation. Please migrate to the new integration to continue federating your CIs into ESM.

Additional Updates

• CMDB Outbound Federation Log & Preview lists are now server-side, making them load faster, but with a trade-off that some of the filtering/sorting capabilities unsupported by the database queries have been removed.
• CMDB Outbound Federation Log can now be exported as a CSV File.
• Discovery Lists have been converted to server-side and separated into individual Page Tabs for each of the Job Types to help with large sets of Jobs.
• Discovery Results for Network Discovery Jobs can now be exported as a CSV for the base information about the device.

• An issue with SAML Authentication is now resolved and will not redirect back to the login screen.
• The Agent Overview’s context menus now have a full range of functioning change actions.
• CMDB Outbound Federation lists will now persist their filters and apply pagination and sorting without error, and the auto grouping has been removed.
• Clicking the Remove button for Discovery Job SNMP Blueprint Assignments will now remove the row.
• User Profile’s auto-logout timeout is now obeyed by the application and will return a user to the login screen if no new pages have been loaded during that interval.
• Added the missing words to some context menu items.
• Fixed an issue where cloning Blueprints would throw an error, but technically succeed.
• The Attribute & Blueprint Attribute Edit Forms’ Base Units dropdown will now become available for the correct Value Type selections (Integer, Float, Any).
• Removed the Delete button from the edit form when creating a New Blueprint Group.
• Updated the deletion message when removing Blueprint Attributes to mention the removal of Instance Attributes created from those Blueprint Attributes.
