Release Notes - GreenLight - Version 2.8.0

New Features

General

  • Domino Server Audit: this new functionality performs numerous checks on server health, performance and configuration in order to provide information on how the according areas can be improved. Based on IBM recommendations and community expert suggestions & best practices, this feature offers immediate value and helps to easily identify issues and tuning potential. It can be found in Live Monitor under the new tab "Audit Overview". An indicator is also available for the Health Grid, for a basic overview of the audit status.

  • Topology Explorer 2.0: this area has been completely redesigned and redeveloped. Available via the quick start area in GreenLight it offers a unique approach to visualizing connection infrastructure and data flow paths and volume. Major improvements have been made in the topology visualization area as well as with filtering servers based on traffic details. An automatic data retrieval schedule allows to keep this list up to date without user interaction.

Improvements

General

  • The GreenLight web application will now try to log in automatically in order to recover orphaned browser sessions.

  • Target selection for charting and sensor configuration has been improved. Multiple filters are now available to make target selection easier and more intuitive. E.g. when selecting servers for charting purposes, the default filter that is applied will only show servers that have active sensors, instead of all the servers known to GreenLight

Monitoring

Live Monitor

  • General: a full-text search function has been added in order to make it easier to find servers in large lists

  • Health Grid: values will now be displayed with the user specific thousands and decimal separators.

  • BES Dashboard: an issue has been resolved, where the BES dashboard would query more values from the server than strictly necessary.
