New Functionality

Transaction tests in Synthetics: Transaction tests allow you to simulate a user's experience as they interact with a Web application (see Synthetics: Transaction Test on our website's Product Updates page). A "transaction" is a series of actions, running in Headless Chromium, that are driven by a Google Puppeteer script created in the Recorder tab of Chrome Developer Tools. Results, which appear on the Results tab of the details page for each subtest in the test (see Subtest Results Tab), include the health status and total transaction time for each agent you test from, and show any screenshots that you specified as actions in the script. For documentation of test setup, see About Transaction Test Scripts.
Synthetics Health Timelines in the Library: The Dashboard Panels and Saved Views in the Library that display results from a single synthetic test now include a timeline showing health status over a time range. Hover over a segment in the timeline to display results from the corresponding point in time.
Synthetics App agents now support all test types: Kentik's "app agent" for Synthetics testing (see Synthetics Agent Types) now supports all Synthetics Test Types. In addition to the previously supported Web tests (HTTP, Page Load, and Transaction), app agents can now execute all network-based test types (including Network Mesh & Grid and Autonomous) and DNS-based test types. For more information about the change, see Application Agents Now Support All Test Types on our website's Product Updates page.
Redesigned portal sharing UX: We've significantly updated the way users can share Kentik-derived information with others both in and out of customer organizations. Sharing features, including visualizations (public shares), reports, and subscriptions are now grouped into a consistent interface that's available across all relevant areas of the portal (see About View Sharing). You'll find more on the thinking behind this change at Completely redesigned Kentik Sharing UX on our website's Product Updates page.

May 2022

New Functionality

Synthetics widgets for Observation Deck: The range of synthetics widgets available for Observation Deck has been expanded, enabling information and visualizations related to both synthetic testing and traffic data to be seen side by side. The new widgets include Synthetics Agents, Recently Added Tests, Credit Utilization, and Synthetic Meshes.
Cloud configuration status for Azure: Already available for AWS, our status checker for cloud configuration is now available for Azure as well. The checker helps with cloud troubleshooting by revealing issues with the configuration of your cloud exports. A summary is provided on the Settings » Public Clouds page, where you can click through to a details page listing the resources covered by your cloud exports and showing the status of the connections from those resources to Kentik.
Azure in Observation Deck and Kentik Cloud: New widgets (for Observation Deck) and views (for the Kentik Cloud page) have been added to provide faster access to information about what’s happening with your Azure cloud resources. The Show control on the Kentik Cloud page lets you choose whether to see views from all cloud providers at once or only from a specific provider.
Azure regions on the Weather Map: The Weather Map in the Kentik Map module now shows the location not only of AWS regions but of Azure regions as well.
Exports and density chart in KMI: Kentik Market Intelligence now features a “density chart” at the top of each tab that illustrates how the relative ranking of providers has changed over time. You can also now export CSV files of provider rankings by Customer Base, Customer Growth, or Peering.

April 2022

New Functionality

Public-facing changes released in April were concentrated in Synthetics:

New test frequency options: All synthetics tests can now be run at frequencies of 30 or 60 mins, allowing customers to include targets that require less aggressive monitoring and that would be cost-prohibitive to test more frequently.
TLS Certificate Expiry Check: Kentik now checks the TLS certificates of pages tested with HTTP(S) and Page Load tests. The certificate expiry date of these pages can be displayed in a new column in the results table on the details page for those tests, and a test that fails due to a TLS certificate error can be flagged in the title pane of the page.
BGP Monitor Updates: The Details page for a BGP Monitor test now includes three types of visualizations, including Reachability (the percent of Kentik's BGP vantage points with routes to the monitored prefixes), AS Path Changes (the average number of AS path changes observed), and BGP Events (BGP announcements and withdrawals).
Global Agent Updates: With the addition of nearly 20 additional global agents in Lumen's network, Kentik now has approximately 250 geo-distributed global agents.

March 2022

New Functionality

Synthetics
- State of the Internet page: SaaS Performance, Cloud Performance and DNS Performance, which were formerly tabs on the Performance Dashboard, are now found on a separate State of the Internet page.
- BGP Route Viewer page: Formerly a tab on the Performance Dashboard, this feature now lives on its own separate BGP Route Viewer page.
- Performance Dashboard redesign: Display was revised for existing widgets in the Performance Dashboard, including the Test Status Summary pane, the Incident Log, the Recently Added Tests pane, the Agents pane, and the Credit Utilization pane.
- New Waterfall view for Page Load tests: The Subtest Details Page for a Page Load test in the Test Control Center now includes a Waterfall view that shows the load order and load duration of each element in the DOM of a tested page.
Kentik Map
- Topology Map for Azure: A completely revised Azure Topology map debuted in our Kentik Map module. Similar to our existing map for AWS topology, the Azure map now shows each Azure region and VNet, and allows users to dig into the details of subnets and connection entities such as gateways.
- VPC Endpoint support for AWS: We now display VPC endpoints in the AWS Topology view of the Kentik Map. These endpoints, which enable connectivity to 3rd-party or AWS services over private networking, are rendered as network gateways so users can easily view to/from traffic.
Protect
- New Alerting page: Alerts that were formerly included on the Insights & Alerting page are now shown on their own separate Alerting page.
- New Mitigations page: A new page has been added specifically to view/manage Mitigations.
Core
- Revised Insights page: The former Insights & Alerting page in Core is now exclusively for Insights.
Kentik APIs
- Synthetics API goes GA: The Synthetics API is now generally available in the API Tester.

February 2022

New Functionality

Synthetics
- Private app agent: The ksynth app agent is now available as a private agent (Beta) for deployment in customer infrastructure, enabling all synthetic tests supported by the network agent as well as web layer tests such as Page Load.
Cloud
- Kentik Map Health Digest: An indicator in the toolbar gives a count of issues we’ve discovered on your network and opens a popover that provides a high-level rundown. Click the View Problems button to see a list detailing the issues, then drill down to the map to see an impacted component in the context of its surrounding infrastructure.
- Kentik Map Layer Selector: A new layer selector for the Kentik Map lets you choose which categories of overlays to display, including link traffic types, traffic layer types, cloud regions and backbones, traffic utilization, health, and clustering.
- Kentik Map legends: The legends that identify the value ranges represented by link colors are now persistent, so it's always easy to see what the colors mean.
- Kentik Map AWS Regions and Backbones: A layer for AWS regions and backbones has been added to the Kentik Map.
- Google Kubernetes Engine dimensions: The Kentik Data Engine (KDE) now supports Google's extended flow logs for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) environments.
- AWS Agentless Ingest: Kentik Cloud customers can now choose to send AWS metadata to Kentik via a REST API while sending flow logs via a Kentik-hosted S3 bucket.
- Improved Metadata-only onboarding/settings: It's now easier to configure an AWS cloud export to collect only metadata from a given account/region.
- Enhanced kappa agent for Kubernetes: Kentik has released version 1.0 of the eBPF-based kappa agent for Kubernetes network performance and telemetry. Improvements in this version include easier deployment, critical performance telemetry (% Retransmit and % Out of Order Packets), and host metadata reporting.
Alerting / Insights
- Refactored flow/SNMP insight: The Flow and SNMP Difference Detection insight has been updated to provide independent analysis of the ingress and egress directions on a per-interface basis and to respond to abnormal differences with a context-dependent message that offers both a diagnosis and specific remedies.
Core
- Public Shares: Publicly accessible Public Share pages can now be created from Data Explorer visualizations and Synthetics test results and shared as links with people who aren't registered Kentik users.
- Kentik Market Intelligence: KMI is a new Service Provider workflow that uses the global routing table to classify the peering and transit relationships between ASes and to identify the providers, peers, and customers for any AS in any geography. KMI estimates the volume of IP space transited by ASes in different geographies and produces rankings based on that volume, thereby enabling users to compare ASes in various markets.
- My Kentik Portal landing page: MKP landlords can now choose a landing page different from the default (see the Views tab of the Add Tenant and Edit Tenant pages).
