v.163 Release Notes

Last updated on 27 March, 2024

Updated on December 28, 2021

  • Push Metrics enhancement: Percentile aggregation added for sub-minute data submission. Percentile aggregation can now be performed on multiple values to return the value which is greater than the specified percentage.
    For example, the 95th percentile is the value which is greater than 95% of the observed values. Percentiles can be used to find outliers for alerts that can be generated within LogicMonitor for values that are outside the norm or above/below a specified threshold.

Highlights

  • General Updates: Improved the user experience in the Logs detail panel, added an upgrade button for Autotask URLs, and more.
  • Updated Monitoring: Added new LogicModules for SilverPeak devices using the Orchestrator REST API, added support for HTTPS for device properties, and more.

MGD Collector 30.002 Update

The automatic update to MGD Collector 30.001 was scheduled to deploy on January 10, 2022. 

This release, which was scheduled for deployment on October 27, was postponed while we fixed a performance issue. 

However, due to the Log4Shell vulnerabilities, the new MGD Collector version will now be 30.002. This version addresses the Log4shell vulnerabilities. This version is scheduled to be automatically installed on January 20, 2022.
No action is required ahead of this date. You may upgrade to MGD Collector 30.002 before January 20 or you may wait for the automatic upgrade to occur. For more information, see MGD Release Update.
