**FlowPak plan query accuracy**: Corrected inaccurate flow rate values on the License Page for FlowPak plans that were showing inflated values due to improper aggregation. ## Core ### Features - **Flow sample rate indicators**: Added comprehensive flow sampling visibility to the Device Details page, including sample rate status indicators (Downsampled/Low Resolution), 30-day traffic charts, and actual vs. configured sample rates. - **Device downsampling filters**: Users can now filter devices by downsampling status (None, Low, High) in the device settings view with warning tooltips. - **Audit log enhancements**: Added IP address and user agent fields to the Audit Log, and replaced the Audit Log table with an improved search interface. - **GetDevice API expanded fields**: The GetDevice API now returns device OS name, OS version, and serial number. - **Device site country enrichment**: Metric measurements are now enriched with device site country data, allowing customers to filter guided mode dashboards by device location. - **Additive dictionary permissions in UDE**: Implemented additive dictionary permissions for the Unified Data Explorer for more flexible permission management. - **Unit filters in UDE**: Added UI controls for unit filters (DNS codes, HTTPS status codes, health metrics) and search capabilities for synthetic agents and tests. - **Enumerations API for tagging**: New gRPC-based enumerations service for faster tag lookups with reduced query times and database bloat. - **DNS Analytics collection option**: Customers can now enable DNS Analytics collection in kdns configuration to gather additional fields from DNS response headers for deeper analytics. - **LiveSynth connectivity testing**: Enabled new infrastructure for LiveSynth connectivity testing services with gRPC and SSE protocol support. - **Compatible policy validation**: The system now automatically determines and displays only compatible policies when adding policies to a tenant, eliminating trial-and-error. - **Flexible metrics plan support**: Kmetrics-ingest now accepts either metrics or npak plan types during the transition period. - **Nokia SR-OS Classic device support**: Added support for Nokia SR-OS Classic devices in ksqueegee. - **UA capability config grouping**: Configuration options can now be organized into logical groups with feature flag support for conditional display. - **Device inventory performance**: Device metric sparkline data is now loaded via a single backend API call instead of multiple frontend queries, improving page load performance. ### Bug Fixes - **IS-IS tab 500 error fix**: Resolved a bug where the IS-IS tab on Device Details pages returned a 500 error, preventing customers from viewing IS-IS adjacency information. - **Resizable columns improvements**: Fixed issues where resizing table columns could push action buttons off-screen, cause text oscillation on Safari, or misalign columns. - **ISIS relations save error**: Fixed an error that occurred when saving device changes with ISIS adjacencies. - **Library page crash fix**: Added safety checks to prevent crashes when using grouping and filtering together on the Library page. - **Deleted devices on dashboards**: Improved cleanup of deleted device references from dashboards. - **Device flow rate display fix**: Fixed a bug where Device Details failed to display flow rate measurements when device data was not fully loaded. - **Custom dimension values fix**: Fixed missing values for custom dimensions in query results caused by tagging lookup caching issues. - **Tag lookup race condition fix**: Eliminated a race condition in tag lookups where concurrent requests could miss values. - **Tag batch update performance**: Improved performance for high-volume DNS hostname tag updates by implementing deferred batch processing. - **Query reliability improvements**: Increased socket backlog capacity and implemented adaptive concurrency tuning to improve query reliability under high load. - **Vestigial query filter removal**: Removed an outdated filter clause that was preventing device name filtering from returning results. - **Flow query error prevention**: Added graceful fallback when proxy measurements are unavailable, preventing errors by falling back to the standard /flow endpoint. - **Exporter crash fix**: Fixed a crash that occurred when stopping or restarting exporters, enabling seamless configuration changes. - **Storage rebalancing accuracy**: Improved shard distribution decisions by using server-side metrics with proper data smoothing instead of client-side metrics. - **Unnecessary service restart prevention**: Eliminated unnecessary ingest service restarts during storage sharding operations that were causing data loss. - **Destination limit enforcement**: Added enforcement of maximum limits on alerting and external destinations per device to prevent misconfiguration. ## Network Monitoring System (NMS) ### Features -
