What's new in version 1.3.0

When you import a file, an expandable popup appears on the lower-right corner of the user interface with information about the progress and status of each import process. Icons help you quickly identify the process status. After an import completes successfully, a job is started to validate the file. If an error occurs during the import process, an error message is listed on the pop-up dialog to help you quickly resolve the issue.

XClarity Orchestrator provides several predefined user groups, one for each predefined role (see Creating user groups).

You can assign roles to user groups to allow all users in that group to perform the functions in the assigned roles (see Assigning roles to users).

You can assign users to user groups when you create users (see Creating users).

Jobs data in the web interface is refreshed regularly. A manual refresh is no longer required.

If a device is not currently managed by a resource manager, you can use XClarity Orchestrator to manage the device in offline mode (see Managing devices offline).

Information about online technical tips is available for each server on the Servers page (see Viewing devices status).

You can import multiple update packages at one time (see Downloading and importing updates).

You can create and assign update-compliance policies for managed severs (see Creating and assigning update-compliance policies).

You can apply updates to managed servers (see Applying and activating updates to managed servers).

You can view a list of fixed common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs ) for a specific update (see Downloading and importing updates).

Predefined analytics reports are moved from the Monitoring () > Analytics menu to the Analytics () > Predefined Analytics menu.

Custom analytics alerts are listed on the all Alerts cards and health statuses (see Monitoring active alerts).

Creating rules for raising custom analytics alerts is simplified (see Creating rules for custom analytics alerts). Note that existing custom alert rules are lost when updating to XClarity Orchestrator.

Events are raised for custom alerts using event code FQXXOCAxxxxc, where xxxx is the unique identifier and c is the severity (see Events and alerts from XClarity Orchestrator).

You can view graphs that illustrate analytics about the health and predictive failure of hard disk drives and solid-state drives in managed ThinkAgile and ThinkSystem servers. (see Analyzing drive health). This is a technical preview and not yet officially supported.
