v1.17.0 Changes

• tools/geneos

  • Add a minimal Netprobe flavour that can be added either as it's own component type or, more commonly, as a flavour of a normal Netprobe, e.g. geneos add netprobe minimal:probeName - this extends the way you install a Fix Analyser probe as a SAN, e.g. geneos add san fa2:myFixSAN
  • Add a use-chain parameter for all instances which defaults to true. Set this to false using geneos set ... use-chain=false to disable certificate validation using a configure chain file.

• gdna

  • Add support for GA7.0.0 updates to licd reports and additional details from corresponding Gateways. This includes OS and component version information as well as enriched data for dynamic entities.
  • Add schema updates for the new table columns. Rollback should work - untested at time of writing - as no existing columns have changes, just new ones added.
  • Add extra reports using the above data to a Monitored Estate groups, moving Sources to the same group.
  • Add new headlines for Gateway summary and detail Dataview and reports to show host, port and version - when available.
  • Add new columns to Missing Coverage and Gateway summary and details to expose new data when available and rename existing columns (not used in dashboards) to better align with each other.
  • Update Sources Dataview and report to report a status of STALE when a file is invalid. A remote source is always either up-to-date or inaccessible, which is a different status.

• tools/san-config

  • Initial commit of a SAN remote configuration file server that allows dynamic building of SAN XML files using an YAML based inventory as well as autodetection of live Gateways from a preconfigured list.
  • This tool is not yet in the main build as further changes and documentation are required for it to be more useful.

v1.17.0 Fixes

• tools/geneos

  • geneos package subsystem gets a wide review and a number of changes and fixes:

    • uninstall - change -f to -F for short form --force for consistency
    • update no longer supports the --install flag
    • install - local files now ignore the --version flag for file (non-directory) paths. For systems with a platform type (el8/el9) only install that platform type of non-platform specific archives. This allows components like web dashboard servers, which have no platform specific releases, to be installed.
    • install - many other changes around the handling of local files to improve what gets installed
    • Fix instance iteration so that only affected instances are updated and so on.

  • Fix migrate and set and config set to actually work with changes to parseargs() function.

  • When adding components with key file support use the ${config:home} value to pin key-file to working directories. Also, when saving a component configuration, such as during move or copy update the key-file and previous key-file paths to use ${config:home} when source path matches the instance home directory.

• gdna

  • Fix misuse of source tables when building active gateway table (no actual data change as the servers table has the same data)

• pkg/config

  • Update Path() to better reflect the likely sources used by Load(). Pass config.MustExist() as an option to config.Path() to get a result based on actual files rather than the likely file to be used.

• integrations/servicenow

  • Fix loading of configuration file in use of config.Load() options (explicitly use YAML)
