November 7^th, 2019

  

In order to fully exploit the new features, functionalities and bug fixes released, please make sure you have installed the latest version of

 

• Domotz Pro Mobile App: check on Apple Store or Google Play. Latest version as of today is 2.5.0
• Domotz Agent: check on Domotz Portal under the subscription tab. Latest Agent version as of today is 2.7.5
• Violet Digital Support: check on Apple Store or Google Play. Latest version as of today is 2.6.7

• Domotz Pro WebApp and Portal are already updated to the latest version

 

What's new:

• Domotz Pro Desktop App (Export / Import Capability): a new App which can be installed on Desktops (MacOS and Windows PC) has been released to allow users to manage Domotz Agents through an easier approach. Moreover, Premium Agents can access the Import/Export feature on the Desktop App. You can:
  • export all the device information, such as Name, Location, Zone, Type, IP Address, and more, associated with you agent
  • modify applicable properties directly in an Microsoft® Excel™ sheet
  • import these changes back into your agent
• New data center in APAC: a new data center has been added in Sydney (Australia) to serve remote connectivity for an increasing number of Domotz Agents from the APAC area. The result is a much faster experience, with possibility of streaming 1K video through Domotz VPN On Demand flawlessly
• Cisco Meraki Switch: a new integration with the Cisco Meraki cloud has been added to Domotz. As part of this integration, Domotz is now able to extract information about devices attached to the ports of the Cisco Meraki Switches and control the PoE status of the ports (on/off capabilities). Moreover, Firmware version, exact model and software reboot capabilities have been added to all the Cisco Meraki devices through this integration

 

Improvements:

• VPN On Demand - Local Traffic only: during the creation of the VPN On Demand file it is now possible to select between Global vs Local traffic routing policy
• Device Discovery: the simple and fast device discovery has been decoupled from the local DNS resolution, making the device recognition faster.

 

Fix:

• Alert email for subnet and external devices does not include MAC address
• Middle Atlantic RackLink PDU SW820r parsing errors
• Ruckus Brocade - wrong SNMP commands to analyze the device
• APC UPS device outlet names resulted in wrong behavior of the driver
• TrippLite Recognition OID has been fixed
• HP PoE switches dynamic port consumption OID has been fixed
• Blacklisted devices can not be deleted
• Local DNS server discovery was reporting wrong IP addresses on some architectures
• Device discovery hanging when trying to resolve local DNS entries

 

Known limitations:

• VPN on Demand is currently not supported on Luxul Router based Agents. On NAS based Agents, new packages are available on request

• Eyes configured for deleted devices affect the total counting of Eyes

• Devices with multiple network interfaces (multiple MAC address) can't be merged into single device. This affect also some type of switches which appear as multiple instances on Domotz when VLANs are configured

• Field Operators can't set alerts on Domotz Eyes (SNMP Custom OID and TCP Services monitoring)

• Static IP address on the Domotz Box cannot be configured before configuring the Agent
