Release Notes for Arbitrator Hawaii 22.1

Download

Insights Arbitrator 22.1, Insights Dashboard 22.1 and Insights DS9 22.1 releases are now available from the Downloads section of the VOSS Customer Portal.

To ensure continuity, the release updates will still be available from the LayerX download site, allowing customers to either download files manually, or via the automated download mechanisms from that location.

Highlights

  • Arbitrator Imports/Exports

    New ability added to import and export Policies, Assets, and Asset Probe Groups via CSV. Single or multiple entries can be inserted, updated, or deleted. Probe groups can also be assigned to an asset using a CSV import.

  • SNMP V3 version 5.8 support

    net-snmp upgraded to 5.8.0

  • Support for One-Time-Password for root user access

    The root password will longer be set at ISO install time. The only way to access root is through the root one-time-password menu option. This requires admin access and also a Voss employee to provide the root access code.

Important

To ensure compatibility with older CUCM versions, refer to the SSHD Config steps in the Override Default SSHD Keys for CUCM section of the Platform Guide.

  • EKB-11661: Create icons in Bootstrap for import/export buttons. New buttons for Policy import/export, new buttons for Asset import/export.

Defects Fixed: Detail

  • EKB-12531: Unable to pull down the policy modules. Removing the list of parents from the policy_modules’ return results. Since the policy_modules have a high re-use rate, their parent list can be quite large. This reduction will still allow policy_module, and down to be fetched in a timely manner, without hitting timeout or data size errors.

  • EKB-12750: Second+ controls may fail to run on “quiet” system. When a “quiet” system has multiple controls set in a response procedure, then not all of the controls may execute. “Quiet” is relative to the timeout confirmation value set for the controls, and if another response procedure attempts to run during that timeout window.

  • EKB-11917: Expressway SNMP script not working. The original SNMP v2 scripts cisco/expressway_cpu.php and cisco/expressyway_memory.php have been updated to use a longer timeout and a retry to handle long delays from the expressway response from an SNMP v2 query. Also two additional scripts have been added for SNMP v3 support cisco/expressway_cpu_v3.php and cisco/expressway_memory_v3.php

  • EKB-11869: Expressway script issues. Updated expressway_api_systemunit.php to handle expressways that have more than 2 ethernet interfaces.

  • EKB-12329: voss4uc_phones_transaction is not providing correct data. Parser updated to look for stale entries in the transaction table and update accordingly.
