New Features
Cloud Monitoring: Azure Cloud Services Discovery and Monitoring
In this release, we added an ability to discover and monitor the Azure Cloud Services instances and tests. The following scope can be monitored now if the user subscription supports Microsoft.ClassicCompute resource provider:
-
Cloud Services (CPU Percentage, Network In/Out, Disk Read/Write Bytes/Operations);
-
SQL Instances (CPU Percentage, Data IO Percentage, Storage Usage Percentage, Successful Connections, Failed Connections, DTU Percentage);
-
Virtual Machines (CPU Credits Consumed, CPU Percentage, Network In/Out, Disk Read/Write Bytes/Operations);
-
Load Balancers (Total Bytes, Health Probe Status, Packets Count, SYN Count, Data Path Availability).
If not - SQL Instances/Virtual Machines/Load Balancers will be discovered.
Note: To enable the new Azure monitoring feature, you must update your Traverse license. To obtain the required license update, please submit a request to technical support and update the license after the version upgrade.
For more information, see Cloud Discovery topic.
Security Vulnerability: Account Lockout
To enhance security, we added account lock for users. Traverse users will be locked for 60 seconds (by default) after 5 failed attempts to log in with invalid credentials or using invalid Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) codes. The number of failed attempts and lock time can be configured in the <Traverse>\etc\emerald.properties file under the Configuration of login attempts section.
Enhancements
Database Backend
- This release, we added timestamps in cronjob.log for backup script.
