✨ New Features & Improvements

🔔 Unified Alerting — Beta

The following enhancements are part of the Unified Alerting Beta. Reach out to support@domotz.com to request access or learn more.

Alert Rules Inventory

• Enable, disable, create, edit, and clone alert rules — Manage alert rules end-to-end from the Alert Rules Inventory page. You can now enable/disable individual rules, create new ones, edit existing ones, and clone a rule to quickly set up multiple similar rules — all without leaving the inventory.
• Profile-driven Alerts V3 — Unified Alerts can now be managed from the Profile Management system, so alert rules propagate across collectors via profiles.
• Default Monitoring Profiles — New users automatically get default Monitoring Profiles, so unified alerting is preconfigured out of the box.

Alert History

• New Alert History view — Read, resync, and browse past alert events with full incident details. Includes custom filters, time-based counters, and severity-based incident overviews for faster triage.
• Edit severity and status directly — From the Alert History details panel, edit an incident’s severity and status without leaving the page.
• Bulk actions — Select multiple incidents and change severity or status in a single action.
• Filter by date — Narrow the Alert History view down to specific time windows.
• Live side menu counters — The Alert History side menu now shows live counters of open incidents per category for quick at-a-glance overviews.
• Account-scoped view — Alert History now shows only your own incidents — alerts from collaborated accounts no longer appear, keeping the view focused.
• Better handling of deleted entities — Incidents whose Alert rule, Collector, or Device has since been deleted now display gracefully, preserving historical context.
• Metrics & Details and Infrastructure columns — Richer per-incident context in the Alert History details panel.
• Consistent severity ordering — Alert severity lists now display in a consistent order across all views for improved readability.

Notifications & Reporting

• Notifications with unique identifiers — Notifications now carry a unique ID, enabling reliable correlation between notifications and the incidents that produced them.
• Reports include Unified Alerts data — Reports now display alerted devices from the new Unified Alerts system.

Other Beta Enhancements

• Security Issues unified — Security Issues are now integrated into the Unified Alerts v3 engine, bringing security-related alerting under the same workflow.
• Enriched alert inventory filtering — Filter the alert inventory by enriched device and collector fields for more precise targeting.
• Disabled state on Alert V3 cards — The Alert V3 Card now reflects when an individual alert rule is disabled.
• Side Panel UI for Device alert configuration — Device unified alert configuration moved from a dropdown to a Side Panel UI for a smoother editing experience.
• Hide legacy Personal & Shared Alerts — A new user-level setting lets you hide the legacy Personal and Shared Alerts sections, supporting a clean cutover for new customers.

📣 Notifications

• Custom tags in notifications — Custom Device and Collector tags now appear inside notifications, giving richer context at the point of alert.

🔑 Public API

• Increased API key limit per account — Generate more API keys per account to support broader integration use cases.
• Device Tags in API — Public API Device endpoints now return Tags information, enabling richer third-party integrations.
• Collector Custom Tags — Public API now supports binding and unbinding Custom Tags on Collectors, giving you programmatic control over collector organization.

🗺️ Discovery & Topology

• Auto discovery on the Discovery Page — Automatic network scanning is now built into the Discovery Page for faster initial setup.
• Firewall Recheck button — Re-verify firewall status directly from the discovery workflow without leaving the page.
• Smoother Discovery banner expansion — Improved banner expansion handling on the Discovery Page for a smoother setup experience.
• Improved device MAC address discovery via SNMP — More accurate LLDP network topology mapping when devices have multiple MAC addresses.
• LLDP-aware topology resolution — The Network Topology algorithm now uses LLDP information together with other sources to resolve device connections more accurately.
• More accurate SNMP data — IP-based consistency validation prevents data mixup between devices.
• Inline credential setup on Device List — Set SNMP and Configuration Management credentials for locked devices directly from the Collector Devices list via a right-side panel, grouped by vendor for bulk-apply — no separate modal needed.
• Collector Discovery → Device List navigation — The Collector Discovery page now offers direct navigation to the Device list for a smoother onboarding flow.

📊 Monitoring & Reports

• Faster Monitoring Dashboard updates — Optimized update strategy for dashboards with more than 100 entities.
• UPS input voltage monitoring — Added Input Voltage monitoring to the UPS Basic Info SNMP Template, enabling voltage tracking for UPS devices.
• Collector Uptime Connectivity page — Redesigned the Collector Connectivity view for clearer visualization of uptime history and incidents, including new quick-filter cards.
• Restyled Monthly Report — Visual refresh with three new sections:
  • Important Devices Currently Offline — table of currently-offline important devices with name, IP, vendor, and last-seen timestamp.
  • Important Devices Uptime Graph — timeline graph of uptime/downtime intervals for up to 20 important devices over the reporting period.
  • Device Classification Graph — horizontal bar chart breaking devices down by type.
• Inventory action button restyle — Restyled the “add” buttons on the Organization and Collectors Inventory dashboards for visual consistency with other sections.
• VLAN wizard improvements — VLAN configuration wizard now prevents address conflicts with IP range / IP List.

🎫 Integrations

• Meraki WAN link failover monitoring — A new custom script polls Meraki firewall WAN link failover and standby status, enabling alerts whenever traffic fails over to the standby WAN.
• Ruckus ICX configuration backup — Configuration backup for Ruckus ICX switches is now available via SSH and TFTP from a single unified script.
• AutoTask PSA Parent-Child alerting — AutoTask PSA is now available as a Parent-Child alerting integration, enabling hierarchical ticket organization for related alerts directly from the app.
