Improved User Experience

New Features 1.0.6.0

DevOps Services Portal 

  • DPOD now provides a new self service DevOps portal for traditional services. This is a new portal dashboard where end-users can:
    • Execute two new actions on SOAP Web services with local WSDL: validate and promote
      • The Validate action uploads your new WSDL and schema files to a temporary location, validates its compilation and creates a temporary WS-Gateway to ensure the object is up.
      • Promote action allows uploading a new WSDL and schema files to the target location (device and domain) and creating a new version of the service.
    • Execute two new actions on SOAP Web services with remote WSDL: validate and promote
      • The Validate action updates a new or existing URL of a remote WSDL, validates its compilation, and creates a temporary WS-Gateway to ensure the object is up.
      • The Promote action updates a new or existing URL of a remote WSDL in a target location (Device and Domain), and creates a newer version of the service.
  • All actions require permissions set by a security policy (custom roles).
  • Each action may be extended or customized using Python scripts. Example scripts are open source and may be obtained from a git repository - see docs (red star)

...

  • DPOD now provides a new dashboard that provides statistics pertaining to service URIs. These statistics include the number of invocations and min/max/avg latency in addition to the Service API (URL) Dashboard

Improved User Experience

  • Users can now save favorite filter combinations and use them in subsequent sessions.

  • A new free text search field was added to the Transactions List page and Raw Messages Page where the user may enter a single value that will be searched across various data fields.
  • Service filter now supports auto completion.
  • All applicable filters support multi-select of values.
  • Users can now change the size of the series (number of values) that is displayed in charts of type "top N".
  • A recent notifications panel was added to The Navigation Bar. It displays the recent UI notifications for the user (not persisted).
  • A new "Share" button added. It allows sharing the current page (including filters, transaction ID etc.) by copying/pasting the current URL or by sending it via email
  • Time range filters now provides more options: last 10 minutes, start of day, start of week, this month.
  • Consistent behavior across pages of zoom into a transaction or use its value as a filter criteria.

...

  • From time to time, DPOD customers may be required to install a new DPOD installation while preserving the data already collected. for example:
    • Customer deployed DPOD Appliance mode at version v1.0.0 with CentOS 6.7 and now requires to migrate to CentOS 7.2 introduced at version v1.0.2+.
    • Customer deployed DPOD on a virtual server but load increased and now requires a physical server.
    • Customer deployed DPOD Appliance mode but wants to migrate to Non-Appliance mode (RHEL) to better comply with their organization security requirements and standards.
  • New procedure and tools were introduced to support customers with migration of an existing DPOD Store data to a new DPOD installation in each of the scenarios above.
