Sodium Update
-
okay Sodium fans... we just deployed the latest code. Go check it out.
-
Up first is dashboard updates. The header takes up less room so there is more room for Recent Activity data on the front page. This is a big cleaner and more useful.
-
Asset page is a bit cleaner now. Just looks a bit more snappy.
-
We have new data collection to make troubleshooting networking issues easier. Now, in addition to the IPv4 address and the IPv6 addresses of a network connection, we not collect the Subnet Mask and the Default Gateway address as well. Now finding pesky misconfigurations will be that much easier.
-
Just did another small deployment. Minor stuff, not worth mentioning.

The deployment causes about a ten minute start up process during which you can sign in, but things are really slow or don't always act as expected (data doesn't fully populate or whatever) due to the load as the system compiles itself. We like to let people know in case they are watching it and see something odd, they can wait a few minutes and check again to see if it is a real problem or just a start up artifact.
Once we are in full production, we'll be doing staggered updates with people unable to access untested nodes. But for now, we just let people know.
-
Latest release just went out. Will post in another thread about the update, this is a big one.

One more useful tidbit on that screen... What DNS servers the client is using. This could be helpful. (Disclaimer: I haven't logged in yet to see the changes for myself).

Yes, that was requested but hasn't arrived yet. It should be getting added soon.

Small update just rolled out. Focus is on some cleanup in helpdesk.
-
Just deployed a new update with the purpose of giving more space to the notation system (as we try to prep for external notes coming up) and thus we've taken some space away from the metadata:
Due to upcoming changings we felt that the ticket data was taking up far too much room and it needed a change. Hope that everyone enjoys!

Small update just deployed on Sodium.
And Happy Holidays, everyone!

I'm not sure if it is update related but none of my machines are checking in. Some since January 18, 22 or 26th.

The last known good check in was 1/27/2018 6:00AM
Anything prior to that would be individual machines not checking it. but for some reason, the Salt Master process hasn't picked up checkins since that time. @QuixoticJeremy has been looking into it.

Scans ran a few minutes ago. Why did they run on a non-standard time interval? Got me, no idea. But they ran. I see green now.

Rolling out changes to the agents deployment page. We are moving from downloads to command line installers. This should make installing far easier for most people. We have a new, single script for UNIX installers, including most Linux, so that you no longer need to track down a different install for each type.

That sounds refreshing to my eyes and fingers:)
