New features and improvements in SolarWinds Platform

Feature Adoption

A new section in My Deployment that shows you how to enable and expand the usage of key features of your products.

Dark theme available for all modern dashboards

Users can now switch to the dark theme without using the NOC mode. Each logged-in user can set their theme in their profile.

High Availability repair

Users can run a repair on HA pools in the web console or via CLI. This resolves HA issues fast without the need to contact support.

Modern dashboards

• A new modern dashboard widget, the Entity Drill-Down widget, has been introduced to group and drill down into different node and group entities. Users can simply select groupings with drop-down or different entity properties, without having to use custom query/SWQL to modify this widget.

• In KPI widgets, users can now synchronize font size when using multiple KPI tiles. The option is available when editing a KPI widget in the Scale Sync Configuration setting.

508 Compliance

Support for 508 compliance has been improved to ensure that the software is accessible to people with disabilities. The Login page and the main menu have been updated to better comply with this standard.

Recurring maintenance schedules

• Users can now enter a reason for one-time jobs to document why entities are put into maintenance mode.

• Users can schedule maintenance windows for volumes.

• Users have a better visibility of upcoming maintenance windows:

  • A new Maintenance Windows widget has been added to node details pages.

  • The next maintenance window is displayed in the Node Details widget.

Intelligent Maps improvements

• Users can assign a single interface to a line.

• When users move labels, connections to shapes or entities are visible.

• Users can add or remove connection pills.

• Users can align objects in a new alignment menu with complete object alignment options.

• Users can add multiple labels for shapes.

• Users can edit line width for lines and connections.

• Users can use underlined text in text boxes and labels.

• Labels appear arranged around shape or entity instead of overlapping.

Additional updates

• Data collected by SolarWinds Platform agents during polling engine failover is now retained and stored after failover completes.

Fixed customer issues

Case number	Description	Platform product
01986010	An issue has been fixed that caused no audit message to be created when a node IP address was changed through the API.	Platform
01958252, 01961504, 01965847, 01967218	Stability in the My Deployment > Servers and My Deployment > Pools tabs has been improved by ignoring case sensitivity and duplicate values.	Platform
01849881	An issue has been fixed that could cause a network discovery to stop working with the following error in the Web.log file: Discovery profile message is not localized by website: Network Discovery has been interrupted. This error may be due to a business layer fault condition. Please restart the interrupted Network Discovery.	Platform
01951120	The SWIS API no longer fails to return results when the ResponseTime value is greater than 32767 ms.	Platform
01641350, 01920509	A passive agent that becomes stuck no longer prevents other passive agents from functioning correctly, which can cause nodes to be falsely reported as being down.	Platform
01939127	When an HA failover occurs during an upgrade and the active main polling engine has been upgraded, the upgrade of the original main polling engine is no longer blocked.	Platform
01930100, 01931780, 01935149, 01935716, 01940316, 01944405, 01954949	When one subnet IP address has multiple ports or users assigned to it, the IP address is not listed multiple times.	IPAM
01905733	Intelligent Maps on modern dashboards now support live updates.	Platform
01907591	When access points have an empty or null IP address API polling no longer fails for Arista Wireless Manager devices. Data for the devices is displays, and errors such as the following are not written to the logs: Failed parse source value: for type: String	Platform
01839233	Syslog messages with more than approximately 1,500 characters are no longer truncated.	Platform
01891872, 01984074	Some Cisco devices, such as Cisco C1121-4P and Cisco FirePOWER 1140 Security Appliance, now show the model name instead of being identified as only 'Cisco'.	Platform
01839054	Recursion in Intelligent Maps is identified with the following message in the logs: Recursion: cannot add entity {entity.Id} because it's a member of {container.Id} container. However, recursion does not prevent updates to the container and the creation of valid relationships to other entities.	Platform
01929172	Performance of preflight tests during Centralized Upgrades has been improved for large environments with many scalability engines. If communication issues between servers prevent the tests from completing, they timeout with a message instead of hanging.	Platform

Installation or upgrade

Known issues

If you have SendTrustedIssuerList enabled, the Configuration wizard may fail

SolarWinds internal certification authorities are not stored in the system trusted certificate stores. When SendTrustedIssuerList is enabled, the system only allows client certificates signed by trusted certification authorities, causing the SolarWinds client certificate to be rejected.

The Configuration wizard may fail with the following message.

Failed to setup RabbitMQ for SolarWinds Platform

Resolution or workaround: Follow the instructions in the "Failed to setup RabbitMQ for SolarWinds Platform" when SendTrustedIssuerList registry key is enabled article.
