Release notes for the update October 6, 2024

Update Version 4.1.202410041613

New Features

Added Delegated Execution option for scripts through distributed network of application nodes.

The option allows to delegate execution of scripts on the asset endpoints to the external application deployment (or a tenant) through the secure network protocol to manage assets located in remote isolated networks unreachable from the main deployment.

Delegated Execution option allows system owners to build the mesh of peer nodes to provide access to assets located in isolated datacenters and cloud virtual networks while maintaining the single control plane for configuration, operations and reporting.

The option is useful for the deployments seeking to manage multiple distributed networks as well as for MSPs managing networks of several independent clients.

The option includes the following features:

  • A Peer Node is configured using the node URL that includes tenant and space information and the API authentication token created for a Service account on the peer node.

  • Delegated peer nodes are configured on the asset or on the container level inheriting down the container hierarchy with the options to enhance or to disable peer node connection on the child assets.

  • A main node load balances multiple configured peer nodes to distribute the load of the script execution.

  • A single peer node executing delegated scripts might serve multiple main nodes.

  • The peer node that executes the script on the asset endpoint on behalf of the main node creates and event log record about details of the execution including the Node Signature of the main node delegating the execution.

  • Node Signature field in the job report indicates the node that executed the script.

Added ID Generator Field Type

Added ID generator field type that generated new GUID when creating an asset with the option to refresh the field value when editing the field.

To add an ID Generator field to an asset type, use String field with the $GUID as a default value.

Security

  • Updated REST API data parsing infrastructure component to the latest version.

  • Updated logging infrastructure component to the latest version.

  • Updated OpenAPI REST API documentation generator to the latest version.

Extensions

  • Added the option to filter asset firewall rules report by Backup rules.

  • Added Save and Promote button on the asset creation and editing screens to promote the asset to the major version right after saving.

  • Added a warning message about the asset is in the draft state when applying policies to the asset or when enforcing the asset policies from asset view or asset list screens.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the issue with deleting request selectors disabled in the child assets.

  • Fixed the issue with displaying only scripts that could be executed interactively on the asset view screen removing the scripts that could only be executed as a part of a handler.

  • Fixed the issue with Windows Firewall Management scripts allow to continue the process after failing to delete missing rule from the endpoint.

  • Fixed the issue with switching to policy enforcement action deleting firewall rules created for standard ports when they are not managed by policies.

  • Fixed the issue with preserving duplicate rules when reading Windows firewall rules provisioned by the application with different keys.

  • Fixed the issue with failing new version detection during the application update on Windows platforms for certain application versions.

  • Fixed the issue with the context help description of the Space Management Manager role.

  • Fixed the issue with unused Space Management Manager role.
