What's New:

• The trellis probe is deprecated in DX UIM 20.4 CU6. As a result, spectrumgtw 20.40 removes dependency on the trellis probe and no longer uses the spectrum-uim-service-impl service. The spectrumgtw probe now uses enhanced nisapis to achieve the same functionality.
• (8.69HF1) Adds a configurable regular expression ( regExToRemoveMatchedChars [\x0B\x0C\x0D] ) to the probe in the spectrumgtw.cfg file. This regular expression is applied to the alarm title to remove these problematic characters from the alarm title while sending the alarm payload to DX NetOps Spectrum.
  You can configure this regular expression and then restart the probe for the changes to take effect.
• (8.69HF2) Addresses the Log4j 2-related vulnerability: CVE-2021-44228.
• (8.69HF3) Upgrades the Log4j 2 version to 2.17.0.
• (8.69HF4) Upgrades the Log4j 2 version to 2.19.0 and addresses the CVE-2021-44832 vulnerability.
  For more information about 8.69HF1/HF2/HF3/HF4, see UIM Hotfix .
• Resolves the issue where DX NetOps Spectrum and DX UIM passwords were displaying in spectrum.log. Now, these passwords are no longer displayed in the log.

What's New:

• Upgraded Graph Transform Library to graph-transform-0.0.7
• Added configuration to enable/disable VMotion Sync with default value as true, that is, VMotionSync enabled
• Improvements to Queue Subscription mechanism for vMotion updates
  • Creating spectrumgtw_udm queue only if both Vmware sync and vMotion sync enabled.
  • Monitoring queue subscription every 10 sec [can be configurable] and re-subscribing if the queue is disconnected
  • Before every Vmware full sync, queue if exists will be deleted and re-created. Ensuring that queue monitoring thread is completed while deleting the queue

Fixed Defects:

Symptom:

Spectrumgtw sends false alarm updates to Spectrum when there is no change to the UIM custom attributes which is resulting in unnecessary email notifications from Spectrum.

Resolution:

Added additional validation in Spectrumgtw to find actually updated attributes from the UIM alarm update. With this change.

• Spectrumgtw does not send alarm updates when the value of custom attributes is not updated.
• The alarm update payload includes only the changed attributes.

What's New

Install the PTF 10.04.02.PTF_10.4.203 to get the following features and enhancements:

• Multitenancy Enhancements: Added support to map multiple origins to a Single Spectrum Landscape so that hosts from multiple Hubs can be modeled in a specific SpectroServer. Similarly, Devices from Multiple Spectrum Landscapes can be modeled in UIM with a specific Origin.

• VMware probe managed entities are filtered as part of Host Server synchronization by default. This is to avoid duplicate models in Spectrum when a UIM Host/robot is also managed by VMware probe. This can be controlled using the attribute FilterVMwareEntitiesunder Raw Configuration > setup > HostServerConfigurationsection.

• When Host Server Integration or VMware Integration is disabled in Spectrumgtw, the respective hosts or virtual machines get deleted from Spectrum automatically.
• Maintenance Schedules Synchronization: Added an action "Sync Maintenance Schedules" in Spectrumgtw > Spectrum Configuration section for on-demand synchronization of maintenance schedules.

• Added a field "Ticketing System Integrated In" in the Spectrumgtw probe Configuration page which can be set to Spectrum or UIM. This helps to sync troubleshooter and troubleTicketID in one direction which prevents overwrites.
• SpectrumgtwUdm queue has been created with the default size of 100 to process vMotion data and it is configurable to by changing the value of the attribute SpectrumgtwUdmQueueBulkSize in VMServerConfiguration section of spectrumgtw.cfg.
• The minimum value of the queue size is 100 which is configured as the default value. To change the value of queue size, deactivate the probe and change the value and start the probe.

What's New:

• Enhanced HTTPS connection between the spectrumgtw probe and Spectrum OneClick for successful communication.
  (From spectrumgtw probe v8.66) It is required to import SSL Certificate of CA Spectrum OneClick server into the keystore of spectrumgtw probe for the successful communication.
• Provided support for secured connection (HTTPS) between CA UIM and CA Spectrum.

Important! In SSL environment, after upgrading to spectrumgtw probe 8.66 ensure that SSL certificate of CA Spectrum OneClick is imported to keystore of spectrumgtw probe. Otherwise, connection to Spectrum Oneclick server fails. For instructions, see Import CA Spectrum SSL (https) Certificate into Spectrum Gateway Probe.

Following are the dependent probes versions for spectrumgtw probe 8.66:

• EMS probe - v10.17 or higher
• NAS probe - v9.00 or higher
• maintenance_mode probe - v8.53

Fixed Defects:

• The spectrumgtw probe uses wrong TLS protocol version (1.1) with java version 1.8 for HTTPS communication. Changed the TLS protocol version to 1.2 to use for Java version 1.8 and above. Support case number 0100484.
