• NMS in audit log: NMS policy operations are now correctly categorized under "Alert Policy" in the Audit Log.

Cloud

Features

• OCI Fast Connect support: View Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) virtual circuits on the OCI Map, see connectors between Dynamic Routing Gateways and virtual circuits, and discover routers from virtual circuits.
• OCI bucket sweep: The OCI ServiceConnector OCID field is now optional in Cloud Config, allowing bucket sweep operations without it.
• Cloud metrics cost warning: Added a warning in the cloud export wizard when selecting "Cloud Metrics History" to improve cost transparency.
• AWS topology lookups: Improved AWS VPC and subnet entity lookups with new summary structures for better performance and accuracy.
• Faster cloud status reporting: New cloud metadata API service improves performance of cloud config status reporting and resolves timeouts for large cloud topologies.

Bug Fixes

• Azure onboarding: Fixed Azure Cloud Export onboarding bugs that left new exports incorrectly configured with metadata-only collection disabled.
• GCP flow data: Fixed GCP flow data not appearing in the Public Clouds Utilization Chart.
• Custom dimensions: Device rebuilds now trigger automatically after custom dimensions are created to prevent missing columns.
• Public cloud chart: Removed the max FPS line from the public clouds utilization chart for a cleaner visualization.
• CloudPak license metrics: Updated the metrics query aggregation on the CloudPak license page for accurate cloud metrics display.
• Exporter stability: Fixed an Azure exporter crash on stop/restart, enabling safe scaling and lifecycle management.

NMS

Features

• NMS licensing: We have migrated all customers to device-based licensing for NMS. We will no longer be using Metrics-Per-Second as an NMS charge metric.
• Telemetry navigation: Device status indicators (Flow, SNMP, BGP, ST, Ping, Syslogs) now link directly to a device's Telemetry tab, with clearer downsampling filter labels.
• Guided Metrics Explorer: Added guided-mode dimension filters (Site Name, Device Name, Country) with override options to Metrics Explorer dashboard panels.
• Interface name consistency: Summary page queries now display Interface Name (ifDescr) by default to match the interfaces tab.
• Added Nokia support to Command Access: Added Nokia SR-OS Classic to supported platforms and clarified device filter labels.
• Bulk SSH credentials: Credential groups now load automatically in the Bulk Command Access dialog
• New device support (MIBs): Added monitoring support for Cisco products, Aruba wireless, HP networking, and VMware infrastructure via SNMP; plus Versa Networks device monitoring and Nokia BGP neighbor reporting.

Bug Fixes

• Bulk connection check: Fixed connection validation for bulk device operations.
• Flow-only devices: Flow-only and flow-enrichment-only devices no longer show incorrect NMS status indicators.
• ICMP devices: ICMP-only devices now retain correct SNMP and NMS status instead of being incorrectly overridden.

Platform

Features

• Public audit API: Introduced a public audit API with pagination (limit/offset) support.
• Audit Log search and revamp: Replaced the Audit Log's virtualized table with searchable, filterable AdminTable functionality, added column resizing, and enabled partial start/end time searches with sensible defaults.
• Device lookup fallback search: The Device Lookup API now falls back to an IP-only search across all sites when a Site+IP lookup finds no device, prompting for a Site ID when multiple matches share an IP.
• Member device export/config: Member-level users can now export devices to CSV and access device configuration routes.
• Connectivity Costs logos: Added provider logos to the Connectivity Costs interface for easier visual identification.
• Resizable table columns: Improved column resizing across all data tables, ensuring tables use full available width with smoother resizing and visible action buttons.
• Enterprise Kafka auth: Added SASL/Kerberos and flexible TLS authentication for the ktranslate Kafka sink.

Bug Fixes

• UA alert template: Fixed the default Universal Agent alert policy template.

Synthetics

Features

• Traceroute hop clarity: Traceroute hop node titles in the synthetics path view now display the hop IP address instead of the interface IP, improving readability of network paths.
• Safer agent removal: Improved the Agent Management interface so removing an agent shows a loading indicator on the affected test and disables other actions until removal completes, preventing accidental concurrent operations.
• Faster agent/test lookups: Optimized agent and test queries resulting in faster lookups and reduced database load.

Bug Fixes

• DNS test periods: Fixed DNS synthetic tests so ping and trace periods stay synchronized with the main test period.
• False latency alerts: Prevented false alarms where 0 ms latency caused by 100% packet loss incorrectly triggered alerts.
• Agent stability: Removed automatic agent deauthentication on task-count mismatch, preventing 403 errors and data loss.

Traffic

Features

• Device downsampling visibility: New "Downsampling" filter on the Device list plus status indicators warning when a device is being downsampled.
• New flow status indicator: Added a distinct indicator for the "Flow Configured, Not Received" state to differentiate it from downsampled flow.
• Enumerated columns: Custom enumerated columns now display human-readable string values instead of numeric IDs and can be filtered using string values and pattern matching.
• Additive dictionary permissions: Data Explorer now merges chart and filter types from multiple sources (OTT, CDN, base) based on permissions.
• Traffic cost permissions: Traffic cost slicing options in the Traffic Costs view are now restricted based on user permissions.

Bug Fixes

• Custom dimension values: Fixed missing values for custom dimensions in query results by updating the tagging client.
• kmetrics filtering: Removed a vestigial device-name clause that prevented results when filtering kmetrics by device name.
• Sample rate accuracy: Fixed flow sample rate rounding so small data blips no longer mark flows as "Downsampled".
