Release date January 18, 2024
New features
Dark theme
This new release allows you to choose the Devo theme. There will be two possible choices :
Light theme: Devo pages will be displayed with white background (current Devo pages look & feel) which will be the default value.
Dark theme: Devo pages will be displayed with black background (new Devo pages look & feel).
Choose your preferred theme from the User preferences area.
For the time being, there are currently two exceptions to the Dark theme:
Multitenant: Dark Theme will not yet be available for multitenant customers configured with a vanity URL (URL alias) as logging page:
When logged through the vanity URL, the Light/Dark selector in “User preferences” will not be displayed.
When logged through the Devo URL, the Light/Dark selector in “User preferences” will be displayed, but it won’t work for Dark mode.
Activeboards: Activeboard charts will not yet be available in Dark Theme (there is a lot of work to be done on the multiple widget types, so Activeboards charts Dark theme will be available in a future release). As a consequence, the PDF reports will also always be in Light mode.
Activeboards editor
In order to standardize user interaction in Devo, the current Activeboard editor is going to be replaced by the Smart Editor which is the same editor used in other Devo areas.
This release is phase 1 of this change, and there are other features that will be rolled out in the future. For now, the replacement editor is available everywhere the Activeboard editor was used:
The query editor.
The free text query editor.
The Activeboard raw configuration editor.
The widget raw configuration editor.
Below is an example of the changes in query editor:
Furthermore, we’ve added a new copy icon to the Activeboard editor. This allows you to copy all the editor content directly to the clipboard. It has been added to the following editors:
The query editor.
The Activeboard raw configuration editor.
The widget raw configuration editor.
New alerts management page
Time ranges for triggered alerts:
Absolute: a specific interval with fixed start and end dates to see data from a specific time period.
Relative: a period of time relative to the current date (last 5 minutes, last day, etc.) to see data progression up to the present.
Snap to: a period of time that goes back to the starting point of the selected time frame to see data without unrepresentative data samples resulting from analyzing incomplete periods.
You can use a variety of options to filter triggered alerts and all of them will be applied to the whole Alerts Overview both the Chart representation area at the top and the Triggered alerts area at the bottom.
The alert list is paginated so you can easily navigate and see the alerts you’re interested in. Simply use the controls at the top right of the list to show alerts (or alert groups) accordingly.
Visualize triggered alerts graphically
You can visualize triggered alerts graphically. The chart at the top of the Alerts overview represents the alerts triggered in the domain for the selected time range. There are several types of charts, each of them designed to describe a specific aspect of the alerts represented.
Manage triggered alerts
Get all of the information here on how to manage your triggered alerts, including seeing alert details and changing their status or priority.
Add comments to triggered alerts
Alerts are designed to inform us of conditions in our data that require attention and often, action. For this reason, Devo offers the ability to track all activity that occurs in response to an alert via comments in a chat window.
The chat window is attached to a triggered alert and all comments inserted are visible to all users with access to the Alerts overview. Users can participate in the conversation to reply and provide help or updates. In this way, they can coordinate their efforts to resolve the alert condition and share useful information.
Group alerts by name
A single alert can be triggered several times and you can group them by name to easily find them and analyze them. This may help you determine the actual relevance of alerts based on their repetition or distribution patterns. Get more information here.
Improvements
Improved Activeboard welcome page with an updated message.
Improved Activeboard PDF report with a more readable format. We are conscious that Activeboard PDF reports do not have a very suitable format, so we plan to progressively improve it. In this first improvement iteration, in the “Export to PDF” option, the user will see all the Input type widgets this way:
-Placed at the beginning of the PDF.
-Transformed into text format.
Bug fixes
The text in the Timelapse widget help box was in the wrong font format.
If a user had no Activeboard defined, when they opened the Activeboard page the error message “Error loading default dashboard” was displayed.
