Highlights in Insights 25.1

Enhanced, User-focused Functionality

Insights 25.1 ships with a number of small yet powerful updates to improve the overall experience:

• Insights now alerts on expired Microsoft Teams tokens. Arbitrator's Alert Analyzer displays and logs an alert when the Microsoft Teams client secret expires in Azure.
• Support for GCCH Microsoft Graph endpoints means that Microsoft tenants using GCCH, DoD, and other environments requiring additional security can now modify their base URL (BaseURL) and specify the Login URL, if required.
• A new API route has been added to support URL-based message posting, enabling external HTTP of alarms from outside systems to the Arbitrator.

New Probes and Reference Dashboards

This release includes new probes and dashboards:

• CISCO_SRST
• WINDOWS_SNMP: A new SNMP probe and associated dashboards to enable SNMP monitoring of Windows-based devices. Entities monitored include available disk, system uptime, CPU, memory usage, Network IF Inbound/Outbound, active users, list of processes including process status, and process CPU consumption.

Security Updates

This release includes a number of upgraded components to improve the overall security of the Insights platform:

• OpenSSH has been upgraded to version 9.9p2
• The API login token expiration period has been reduced from one day to one hour
• On logout, the JWT API token that authorizes access to the Insights APIs becomes invalid
• All sshd overwrite configuration files will now be validated to detect deprecated ciphers when upgrading to Insights 25.1. For further details and a cautionary note for upgrades by customers using End-of Life (EoL) Cisco CUCMs, see the release notes for EKB-23213.
