Changes in this version:

  • Minor filters fix

Full version history

⚠️IMPORTANT CHANGE⚠️

This version takes filtering rules and evaluates them in sequential order. This allows you to enter more complex filtering rules based on results from the previous step.

For example:

  • Monitor all queues
  • Do not monitor queues that start with SYSTEM.
  • Monitor queues that start with SYSTEM.CLUSTER.
  • Do not monitor queues that start with SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.

will evaluate them in that specific order.

Same as: *, -SYSTEM*, SYSTEM.CLUSTER*, -SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.*

  • Make sure you review your rules when upgrading to this version to ensure they are ordered in the sequence you want to evaluate them

  • In case you need to change the order, there is no need to recreate rules. You can drag & drop them using your mouse over the dots next to each rule.

Other changes:

  • actual_qm_name property is in all entities.
  • Resolved "No KeepAlive from datasource Python" message in some specific instances that was causing restarts.
  • Resolved issue with channel metrics on z/OS that were not aggregating properly.
