8.1 Improvements

MOOG-17226

It is now possible to expand or collapse list of Impacted Services, Team Rooms, or Situation/Alert Views in the Left Navigation panel.

MOOG-17171

A 'Situation Client tool' can now be set as a default tool, for easy access in the Situation Room

MOOG-17170

The maximum number of headings configurable for the Situation Room has been increased.

MOOG-17082

Updated the health logging for the 'moogpoller' servlet to include active web socket subscription counts and internal queue build up count.

MOOG-17094

Adds support for an encrypted systemUser password to LDAP; it is enabled by adding or setting the encryptedSystemPassword property in $MOOGSOFT_HOME/config/system.conf, inside the LDAP block.

MOOG-17124

Adds the ability to control which files can be uploaded to Situation Rooms and Team Rooms based on their content type. This is configured under System Settings -> Customization (all file types are allowed by default if the list is empty).

MOOG-17114

Introduces an optional password policy for DB Realm users, including configurable complexity via regular expressions.

MOOG-13781

Improves single sign-on (SSO) configuration so users don't need to re-enter their credentials as often when used with certain IDPs - the 'forceAuth' property is now configurable in any defined 'SAML' realm in the $MOOGSOFT_HOME/config/security.conf file.

MOOG-17011

Improves the moog_db_validator utility so it identifies valid differences (such as custom_info columns) and those indicating potentially serious issues in the schema (such as missing tables)

MOOG-17017

Adds the primary_team_id field to all Situation objects as they are processed by Moobots for consistency and reporting purposes.

MOOG-17030

Updates the Alert Entropy UI to only allow incremental runs, and includes a new default schedule (a daily incremental run at 03:00 with a one day "readage" and a three week "keepage").

MOOG-17032

Adds the new Cisco Crosswork Data Gateway (CDG) LAM.

MOOG-16568

Added primary_team_id in graze response of getSituationsDetails.

MOOG-16283

Adds an event code for API alert modification. A new event code is now added for any API alert modification using updateAlert and updateClosedAlert that does not impact the severity of an alert. Events with this code are filtered out of the UI timeline.

MOOG-16354

A new MoogDb V2 method resolveAlerts can be used to resolve alerts. It accepts an array of alerts IDs and optional thread entry comment and returns true for a successful request and false for an unsuccessful request.

MOOG-17113

NGiNX has been upgraded to 1.20.1

MOOG-17222

The versions of Percona XtraDB Cluster and XtraBackup (as deployed by the install_percona_nodes* scripts) have been upgraded to 5.7.33 and 2.4.23 respectively. Note that the version of XtraBackup deployed by install_percona_nodes.sh is now explicitly set in the script (rather than pulling the latest available). This is to keep versions in sync with the tarball variant install_percona_nodes_tarball.sh

MOOG-17177

The minimum JDK version supported and the version shipped is now 11.0.11.0.9

MOOG-17161

Apache-Tomcat has been upgraded to 9.0.43

MOOG-17088

RabbitMQ has been upgraded to v3.8.16 and Erlang to v23.3.

MOOG-17174

The list of ciphers accepted by NGiNX has been updated to increase the security of the web server.

MOOG-17209

The moog_db_split_configurer utility now has an option for setting event batch size : -e,--events_batch_size <value> Number of events/snapshots per batch during deletion (default : 100000) This option sets the batch size used for event/snapshot deletion by the Splitter which, if lowered, may help improve Splitter performance and reduce Database load, particularly in environments where alerts have high event counts.

MOOG-17208

The process_log entries made by the Splitter have been improved to give more detailed breakdown of tasks, counts and timings as a run progresses.
