TLS protocol

From version 5.3 onwards, the TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols, which are currently deprecated, will be disabled for security reasons.

• From version 5.3 onwards, agents must use the TLS 1.2 protocol to communicate.
• In certain cases, agents may be unable to communicate using the TLS 1.2 protocol.
   

Precautions

• Ensure that the servers where the agents are run have upgraded to the latest Windows versions in order to minimize post-version upgrade issues.
• We strongly recommend that you upgrade your OS if it is obsolete, e.g. Windows Server 2008.

Enhancements

AIOps - Forecasts

Following the version upgrade, administrators are now authorized to enable forecasts for their company and/or sites and customers. This action is required in order to use the associated functionalities. It is not enabled by default.

Forecast functionalities help operations teams anticipate failure, and as a result, optimize SLAs by reducing unavailability.
There are two types of forecast horizons: short-term (15 hours) and medium-term to long-term (capacity).

15-hour forecast horizon (night-time)

This forecast horizon is applicable to operations integrated with a Dataviz.

• The 15-hour forecast horizon enables you to avoid resorting to on-call staff during off-hours for incidents that could have been anticipated.
• Forecasts are available in the Diagram widget (forecast mode), in the list of statuses and in the Details form of the object.
• You can create an incident based on an expected status.

Forecasts in the list of statuses (forecast mode)

• Expected status, current status, time before status change, confidence
• Creation of tickets based on the expected status
          

Forecasts in the Details form

• General information: expected status, confidence, time before status change
• Metric: Forecast display
          

Enhancements to capacity reports
