New Features and Enhancements¶
One-Click Migration¶
| Description | Notes |
| Better handling of test migrations | Better handling of test migrations, so that no changes are taken on target node. |
| More ways to start a migration | Start a migration from following places: * Node overview * Service overview * Inside a Node with preselected source Node * Inside a Service (like before) with preselected Service. Button is now located in the migrations tab. |
| Added migration source: Local bundle file | Start a migration with an existing local bundle file from GMU or exported by DICOS API Gateway Manager. |
| Added migration source: Git repository | Start a migration based on your configured Git repository. Filter your version by your defined tags in the repository. |
| Added migration target: Cluster | Migrate a Service or Solution to cluster, instead to a single node. DICOS API Gateway Manager will handle automatically the migration to one cluster member. |
Service Management¶
| Description | Notes |
| Push to git repository | MigrateOut your existing services to a predefined git repository. Add a tag to your migration to have a filter in the future. |
| Pull from git repository | MigrateIn form a predefined git repository to a Node. |
| SSH Key to authenticate against git | Use SSH keys to authenticate DICOS API Gateway Manager to your git repository. |
Node/Service overview¶
| Description | Notes |
|---|---|
| Start a Migration directly from Node/Services overview | Start a migration from following places: * Node overview * Service overview * Inside a Node with preselected source Node * Inside a Service (like before) with preselected Service. Button is now located in the migrations tab. |
| Add description to a Service | Add a description to a Service to describe a Service. |
Overall Improvements¶
| Description | Notes |
| Disable monitoring for a Node | If a monitoring for a node isn't necessary, it is possible to disable the monitoring in the Node settings. |
| Change views for Node/Cluster, Service and Instance widgets | Choose between two different visuals for the following widgets: * Cluster/Node state widget: Show metrics (CPU/Memory/Disc space) or hide them * Service state widget: Show state and request metric or hide both information * Instance state widget: Show frondend response time and request metric or hide both information |
| Offline mode | Removed external loads of resources, like css files and fonts. Installation can now be fully offline. |
| Better error messages, if something don't work | Only necessary information will be shown, if an error happens, e.g. wrong defined SMTP settings are leading to a small error message, instead to a stack trace. |
| Test Mail is working again | In some occasions, the test mail button wasn't functional. |
| Completely new Assertions for your Gateway | Recreated and improved the assertions for the gateway. Separate functionality in to four assertions and APIs: * aagm/metrics: * New lightweight output in JSON and parameters to define time range and amount of data. * aagm/logs: * New assertion to show logs from the gateway (don't available on gateway Docker installation) with parameters to select amount and severity of showed logs. * aamg/audit: * New assertion to show audit messages from the gateway with parameters to define time range and severity. * aagm/discovery: * New assertion to show all cluster members with their corresponding name and IP addresses. |
| Solution kit to install DICOS Assertions | Easy installation and upgrade of existing DICOS Assertions by using a solution kit, signed by Broadcom. |
| Add/remove environment stages | Add additional environment stages or remove unused stages. Define different alarm rules for different stages. |
