.NET Micro-Agent

• Minor improvements:
• Added internal log print for .NET deployment name feature

4.53 Aug 31, 2020

Backend

• Security updates:
• Applying strict parsing of the SAML assertion group attribute expression: any user with missing or incorrect (non existing) assignment of an Environment name or Role, or using an empty expression will be denied access to the system. We will provide a backwards compatibility mode for an interim period.
• Added an option to restrict the SAML group attribute name to a single attribute name. This will be an optional property for the next 3 months, and will be restricted to a default attribute name or a given name after this period.
• Added a new property to allow to set the default access role for authenticated users. This role is used if using the simplified SSO mode, or when using SAML Groups attribute with backwards compatibility mode enabled and an empty expression. The current default role is “Member”. The default role will be changed to “No_Access” in 3 months (unless otherwise set specifically). It is therefore advised to set the default role in advance as a best practice and to prevent unwanted authorization results.
• Improved user authorization flows when accessing the application through direct ARC or Dashboard links. Unauthenticated users will be redirected to their IDP or to the Login page if they use basic authentication or have more than a single domain. Authenticated users without specific permission into an environment accessed through a direct link will receive a no-permissions error with basic details they can use to request access.
• Adding support with SAML assertions containing an ‘Unspecified’ KeyDescriptor.

For more information on using SAML for authentication & authorization read here.

• On-Premise:

• A new admin-cli internal command to be used by direct guidance of OverOps Support team in specific scenarios where a Jar file is missing on the storage server.

• Linux installation - When the user specifies the Collector port, this selection is now reflected in the agent properties (agent.properties file) that are downloaded with the Collector.
• Added the Jira issue ID to the 'View Jira Issue' tooltip
• Bug fixes:
  • Catalina.log recycling
  • Fixed an issue where an owner appeared twice in the team members when opening a new environment
  • Automatic refresh of method source code in the ARC screen when the source code is ready

Java Micro Agent

• Added an API command option to disable the OverOps Micro agent on a group of applications / group of servers at any point if required. Note that this option is currently supported only for the Java Micro-Agent (not .NET).This capability is currently not supported on the Java 10 and 11 and J9 Micro-Agent.
• Java 10 and 11 and J9 Micro-Agent: Implemented additional performance optimizations
• Secure encrypted communication between the OverOps Collector and Micro-Agent is now supported on AIX in addition to Windows and Linux.
• Added support for Java 8 u 232
• Bug fixes:
  • Fixed an issue in the Collector that prevented processing events from many Micro-Agents, and also reduced the input/output usage of the Collector
  • Fixed an issue that caused an incorrect line number in decompiled source code
  • Improved the Micro-Agents’ footprint on the disk upon shutdown
  • Fixed an issue with presenting corrupted variable state. This doesn’t fix tales that are already open but will apply to any new tale that’s opened. The fix requires a restart of the Backend only (not the Collector or Micro-Agent)

.NET Micro-Agent

• Added support for .NET Core 3.0 to the supported versions of .NET
• Starting from this release, the .NET Micro-Agent is fully incorporated into the OverOps release process, sharing the same version number and download links.

📘

Note

Because .Net has been added to the installer, you'll need to perform a full uninstall of the previous version and then reinstall of the new version. This limitation is true for any upgrade from any version prior to 4.48 to any version from 4.48 and later.

• Implemented improvements and bug fixes in the .NET decompilation process, such as limiting the number of threads.
• When using an IIS web application,the application pool name is detected automatically and applied to the name of the application; see Naming the .NET Application for details.

Integrations

• Jira integration: For both New and Resurfaced Jira Alerts, added the following fields, and improved visibility:
  • Error
  • Location
  • First seen
  • Stack-trace preview
• Added support for the SonarQube plugin integration; see SonarQube Integration for details.
• Updated the OverOps Quality Report to display a summary that shows the quality gate, its status (passed/failed), and the total for four quality gates: New, Resurfaced, Critical, and Increasing.

Settings Console

In the Settings console - Storage function, the warning dialog when turning on the hybrid storage toggle has been updated.

Trial Installation Wizard (SaaS Deployments only)

• Adding support for switching between environments for SaaS trial users who are members of multiple environments.
• The installation status is displayed to the user during the installation progress
• Minor improvements / bug fixes:
  • Clarified to the user that they need to attach OverOps to one of their applications
  • Retained values between the wizard steps
  • Updated wizard texts based on user testing
• Users are no longer redirected to the OverOps application web page upon completing a Windows/macOS installation.

4.47 January 21, 2020

Backend

• With this release, OverOps supports secure communication between the OverOps Collector and Micro-Agent through full encryption of all data transferred between the OverOps components. See Secure Communication between OverOps Collector and Micro-Agent for details. Currently supported on Linux and Windows Collectors and Micro-Agents only.
• Additional updates:
  • Update of 3rd party libraries
  • Bug fix in propagating the frontend-url used on the takipi-server.sh start command

4.46.2 January 16, 2020

Micro-Agent

With this release, the .NET MIcro-Agent is now part of the main OverOps release. The version includes a number of updates to the Micro-Agent, including the following features:

• Enabled the Micro-Agent to get the location of PDB (Program Databases) files directly, which allows attaching PDBs / sources for multiple applications.
• Source code files decompilation: This version updates the .NET Micro-Agent to support source code decompilation (this means that you’ll no longer need to copy the source files after deploying the application and link to them from the Micro-Agent using the source flag).
• Added a limit to the number of requests the Micro-Agent can create.

4.46.2 January 14, 2020

Backend

• Updates to the Redis Session Manager

4.46.1 January 6, 2020

This release includes fixes related to the OverOps trial experience, including the following:

• After completing the installation, users were being directed to the Welcome screen instead of to the application itself
• Users that already had active environments and tried to generate a new environment were being directed to the Welcome screen

4.46.0 January 6, 2020

This release focused on improving performance in both the Backend and in the Micro-Agent as well as in the way in which OverOps works with Oracle.

Java Agent

• Added the Mockito-generated classes to the banned classes list; see Banned Classes List for details
• Optimized the Micro-Agent in Java 10 and 11 and J9 to further reduce overhead
• Added an option to run in lite mode. This minimizes the size of the instrumentation and requires a lot less CPU cycles to execute. HotSpot JVMs now run by default in lite mode, however, you can opt-out of lite mode.
  • Replaced the existing variable recording instrumentation with a much lighter instrumentation: to record variables, we use existing APIs of the JVM (that were previously only available on HotSpot), so that now lite mode is the default mode for HotSpot JVMs for Java 10 and 11 and J9
• In the Micro-Agent and Collector logs, we’ve added the tiny key of events to make it easier to investigate broken tinylinks
  • Compatibility: Alpine 3.11.0 is now supported in the Java Micro-Agent
  • Added the option of setting the base URL for tinylinks locally through the Micro-Agent properties using takipi.short.url.prefix=<prefix>; this setting is used by default in On-Premises installations
  • Agent bug fixes including fixing a problem in which the Java 10 and 11 and J9 Micro-Agent failed to start with Tomcat in Java 11

Collector

• Java support: The Collector now supports Java versions 1.8 and later; click here for details
• Updated the 3rd party libraries used by OverOps
• Bug fixes and improvements related to working with Oracle (see Create a Database User & Databases and Grant Privileges for details)

Backend

• Jira Integration: Added the Jira Issue ID (as a clickable link) to the "View Jira Issue" dialog, at the top header
• Updated the 3rd party libraries used by OverOps
• ARC Screen: Added support for lambda functions as part of the decompilation enhancements (“decompiled sources +")
• Backend bug fixes
• OverOps Trial Installation: Updated the user experience in the trial welcome screen. In addition, when a trial user tries to sign-in without any environment installed, he/she is redirected to the 'Welcome' page

4.45 and 4.45.1 December 8, 2019

Release 4.45 from OverOps features our new .NET Micro-Agent, whose details are listed below, and our new In-app Installation Guide for trial accounts, as well as a major improvements and updates in the Backend.

OverOps .NET Micro-Agent

The OverOps .NET Micro-Agent monitors .NET applications by attaching to a running application or environment, detecting errors and problems, thereby providing you with a comprehensive view of your application's performance.

The .NET Micro-Agent supports both .NET Framework and .NET Core, installs as a standalone on your laptop and works with Azure- Server, PC, and cloud - Azure AppService - through NuGet. The Micro-Agent can also be installed with a remote machine (using NuGet or MSI).

🚧

Important

The .NET Micro-Agent can be currently used for pre-production environments only.

For more information, check out these articles:
OverOps for .NET
Compatibility and Requirements
Using OverOps in Your .NET System

On-Premises

• Redis for On-Premises Deployments: The Redis Session Manager for Tomcat is an off-the-shelf product that allows you to store sessions of Apache Tomcat in Redis. This product is already implemented in our SaaS solution automatically; however, in this release we’ve developed a feature that adds a similar mechanism to On-Premises to enable the user to use cache in multiple Tomcats, i.e, to share the cache between multiple sessions. Customers who use this solution will need to ensure that Redis is already installed on their end and then to connect to it. The solution should be used in an On-Premises environment using a configuration of a number of backends and either an external Redisson server or a local installation on one of the backends.See Redis for On-Premises for details.
• Kerberos Support: In this release we’ve added support for the Kerberos authentication protocol for On-Premises deployments. See Kerberos for On-Premises for details.
• Improved warnings about previously installed Grafana instances for On-Premises deployments
• With this release, OverOps deprecated the use of an internal database layer (Dynalite) which will no longer be in use in the OverOps system. This change is introduced as part of our data access optimization process. This change is relevant for customers using MySQL, Postgres and Oracle databases. Customers that currently use the H2 database and will upgrade will still use the existing data access layer (only when installing a fresh installation will customers using H2 enjoy the new database optimized mode).

🚧

Important

OverOps recommends that the default H2 database only be used for POC purposes and not for production environments.

Backend

Scale Improvements

In this release, we’ve implemented a major improvement in the way our product reports and processes an event’s statistical information through the entire hit flow - from our Micro-Agent, to the Collector to the Backend. This optimization will improve resource utilization and performance. To use this feature, you’ll need to make sure that the Collector and Backend are on this latest version.

Integrations

• Added the top 5 event details as a custom field to the PagerDuty alert information.
• Updated and improved Jira tickets for Resurfaced events, which now include a description of the server/application/deployment fields and have a clearer indication that these are resurfaced events.
• Added the code_last_modified date field to integrations: To enable integrations to have all the information possible at their disposal, we’ve added the code_last_modified date field, which shows when the code was modified compared to the time of the event.

Configurations

• The default my.server.properties file has been updated to include examples of most frequent configuration options used
• Separated the SAML metadata.xml to an external file instead of in my.server.properties

Automated Root Cause (ARC) Screen

• To improve the user’s experience with the ARC screen, we optimized the way method sources are loaded asynchronously into the page.

Event Explorer Views

• Increased the character limitation for View names from 50 characters to 100 (particularly relevant for routing UDFs that create routing views with long deployment names).

Bug fixes

• Updated the way in which the “Last Seen/First Seen” value is displayed when there are no statistics.
• Updated the validation message in the UDF upload dialog
• Updated the Method Summary fields so that the class version is only shown when the source file exists
• Routing UDFs: To prevent situations where some of the default routing UDFs (such as deployments, apps, and tiers routing) are disabled by mistake, these UDFs can now run in ‘Silent’ mode (set by default) so that they don't require an alert channel to be enabled.

APIs

• Added an API endpoint that sets the jira_issue_url field
• Optimized Jira API request handling

In-app Installation Guide for Trial Accounts

• Added an Installation guide for basic OverOps installation for trial accounts that contains both Java and .NET installation (for pre-production environments) flows.

Then, the user can simply enter the key or token in the field and create the one-liner required for the installation. Whether the user receives a key or token is set up in advance in the backend by the Service Engineer (SE).
• Fixed bugs in the installation and in the installation UI

Application

• Bug fixes

4.42.5 August 21, 2019

Collector

• The Collector will stop writing snapshots to the disk when the disk is nearly full: The purpose of this update is to implement a simple safeguard that prevents filling the disk completely, thus rendering the environment non-functional. If the disk space is past a certain percentage it will then write an error to the collector's service log, along with disk space details and the relevant file name. The default percentage cutoff point is 90%, and is configurable in the Collector.properties using the maxDiskUsagePercentage attribute.
• Fix to the Collector to properly report its connectivity status to the hybrid storage server.

Backend

• Added new error type to identify a storage error case where the storage server settings have changed during snapshot processing and the older storage server can’t be accessed anymore
• Minor UI fixes and bug fixes related to the ARC screen

Application

• Fixed a bug that could cause delayed processing of events.

4.41.1 August 15, 2019

Backend

• Internal/minor bug fixes

4.42 August 14, 2019

This release includes new features as well as major improvements, including the launching of our Multi-Environment Collector (MEC), a new integration with New Relic, full support for Oracle, improvements to the ARC screen, and some pretty cool updates to the Alerts and Settings features.

Installation

This release features the addition of the OverOps Multi-Environment Collector (MEC), which enables you to onboard new applications and functional groups in an easy and repeatable way. MEC creates a centralized management solution that ensures easy installation and addition of new applications and environments. Refer to this article to learn more.
Note that MEC is an addition to our existing installation, and doesn't affect the current installation.

Application

• OverOps has integrated the New Relic application performance monitoring (APM) software into our system. In this integration, links are inserted directly into the log files so that deep, code-level context can be surfaced and accessed during the troubleshooting process using a single click. To learn more, check out the New Relic Integration integration article.
• Oracle Support: In this release, OverOps has added full support for the Oracle database in On-Premises deployments.
• Extended the validity of the API token to 5 years (instead of the current 1 year).

Alert Dashboard Updates

• Updated the UI and flow of adding a new alert in the Alerts dashboard. See Alerts Management for details.

• Updated the UI and flow of viewing and managing active (existing) alerts in the Alerts dashboard. See Alerts Management for details.

• Accessing an alert from a link: Enables you to access and edit alerts for any view via a direct link:
• When opening the url of a view that has alerts, the page will behave in the same way as when you click Edit in the Active Alerts page.
• When opening a URL of a view with no alerts settings, the page will also behave in the same way as when you click Edit in the Active Alerts page; however, in this case, all the alert definitions will be empty.
• Alert dashboard bug fixes:
  • Adding and editing custom alerts and new alert settings fixes
  • Adding a new alert to an environment even if there’s no existing alert (you can only set up one alert per environment) fixes
  • UI text fixes including error updates

ARC Screen Improvements

• In rare cases where an error occurs while trying to open an ARC screen, we have added the ability for the user to report those errors directly to OverOps, helping us to review them and improve the product experience.
  In cases where our backend is not able to access our reporting interface (due to Internet connectivity issues), the report will be saved locally on the backend (/logs/tomcat/tale-fail.log).
• Optimizations of the ARC screen loading and reduction of timeout errors
• Fix of data fidelity between the ARC graph and the Dashboard graph
• Updated the snapshot tooltip to provide more information
• UI and performance updates
• The maximum inactivity duration for a user session of a SAML-authenticated user and a User/Password-authenticated user has been updated to 5 hours and 1 week respectively.
• Error message improvements: Added Environment Name and Environment ID to the No-Permissions error (ERR-8001) message to make it easier for the user to determine to which environment they need to request access.

4.42.4 August 6, 2019

Application

• AppDynamic integration events from threshold alerts and digests are excluded from new event alerts.
• Bug fix: Threshold Anomaly alerts that are set via the dashboard dialog now work in the same way as those set through the API and Settings dashboard.
• ARC Screen bug fixes:
  • Snapshots weren’t loading due to a source code exception
  • UI bug fix

4.41.3 Aug 1, 2019

Agent

• Bug fix

Application

• To locate anomalies, we’ve added an update that looks for volume regressions in cases where an event has hits but there has zero method invocations.

4.41.2 July 28, 2019

Application

• Minor text updates

Agent

• Bug fixes

4.41.1 July 25, 2019

Reliability Dashboard

• Bug fix

4.41 July 24, 2019

This release includes a number of important updates to several OverOps features, including the Alerts and Settings dashboards, ARC screen and APIs.

Application

• Implemented several significant updates to the Settings Dashboard:
  • Entry point (transaction) customization feature: To improve the call stack entry point, we’ve added an option to customize the entry points (transactions), enabling you to prioritize and deprioritize entry points in the call stack. To learn more, check out the Entry Point Customization article. Requires upgrades to the Agent, Collector and backend. Changes also apply to the Agent component.

• Storage server security features: Switching the Storage Server on means you're moving your solution to a hybrid model. To prevent you from switching the model inadvertently, you'll need to enter a valid host name and a valid front end host name, and to test the connectivity. If the server is not connected, and the test fails, you will not be able to save your changes. See Enable Storage Server Connectivity over HTTP for details.
• Importing Groups: The Groups tab now enables admin users to import groups that were already defined for other environments. Note that each import only applies to the current group - i.e, transactions, applications or tiers - and not to all group types in one import. If a group that you import contains values that are already being used in existing group, or if you import an item that has a very long name, these values won't be imported and will be displayed in a notification similar to the one below. See [Settings Dashboard (doc:settings-dashboard#section-importing-groups) for details. Note that after each import, you'll need to apply the changes by selecting Apply. If you move to the next tab and don't save the import, your changes won't be saved.
• New reminders about saving changes in the Settings Dashboard have been added to ensure consistency in the dashboard’s behavior.
• In the Publish Metrics tab of the Settings Dashboard, if you make changes to the settings, and then don’t save them or move to another tab, you’ll receive a notice asking if you want to 'Discard changes' or not.
• Tooltips have been standardized across all the OverOps screens.
• Alerts:
  • Updated the tab Function to Custom because we found that the use of functions is confusing + additional text changes to make the dialog clearer.
  • For the email alert setup, text in the dialog was also updated to make the options clearer.
• Bug fixes:
  • Clearing stored application data upon environment switching doesn’t clear the data.
  • In the Default alert settings for ServiceNow, if the service is down, an error is displayed in the Console.
  • Email added in the "Email specific team members" field isn’t deleted.
  • Alerts feature: Email settings fail to save when changing an alert from global to private or vice versa.
  • Alerts feature: When editing an alert, the “Trigger on anomaly via function” can’t be removed.
• ARC Screen: Added an option for SaaS users to opt out of decompilation enhancements: The decompilation enhancements use raw bytecode sent from the Collector to the backend before decompilation. This enhancement is enabled by default for all our SaaS users; however, users who don't want the raw bytecode to be sent to the backend can disable this feature. See Disabling the Raw Bytecode Option for details.

APIs

• When creating//editing view alert settings: For every change you make, you'll need to specify all the fields that were previously set - missing fields will be assigned empty values and nullified. See Fetch Alert settings for a View for details.
• Added endpoints to support setting / fetching preferred/ignored entrypoints.

4.40.2 July 21, 2019

Backend (On-Premises)

• Addition of Grafana bundle package

4.40.1 July 18, 2019

Application

• Bug fix for Reliability Dashboards

4.40 July 17, 2019

Backend (On-Premises)

• Our On-Premises solution install kit is now pre-bundled with Grafana and is configured and enabled by default to serve our Reliability Dashboards. Check out the Reliability Dashboard Overview article to learn more. For the bundled Grafana version, refer to the Supported Third Party Software and Tools page.
• If you have an existing external instance of Grafana installed on another server or on the backend machine, you should switch to the bundled Grafana by following these instructions.
• The requirement to have a JDK pre-installed has been updated to include either JDK or JRE.
• Added the new glasses configuration for the ARC screen stack-trace.
• Bug fix for an underlying issue related to snapshot errors (which were displaying as "Still Processing...").

4.39.2 July 16, 2019

Agent

• Bug fix: Fixed an issue related to the Agent that wasn’t working properly on java 9.

4.39.1 July 14, 2019

Agent

• To minimize the difference between the source code in the ARC screen and “clean” decompiled sources, the raw bytecode is sent from the Collector to the backend to avoid annotating obfuscated bytecode before decompilation. To implement this capability, the Collector and backend must be upgraded to 4.39.1 or higher. For details see the Automated Root Cause (ARC) Screen.
• As part of the new multi-Agent support, the Agent can now be attached at any point and not only as the last agentץ
• Added closure auto generated classes to the OverOps ban list
• Improved the Agent CPU overhead and performance

4.38.4 July 9, 2019

APIs

• API endpoint updates

4.38.3 July 8, 2019

Application

• System-generated Views & Labels protection:
  • Some Views are automatically created by the system (such as the views under the Tiers category). We have added protection for these views in order to maintain their primary usage. These views will not be allowed to be modified by a user after they have been created. A user can choose to change the view definition but will only be able to save the changes under a new View name (‘Save as’ option).
  • Added protection from accidental removal of a label from an event and protection of accidental removal of a system generated label, so that when a user clears the check-box of a system/UDF generated label (of labels ending with .app or .infra) from an event will be asked to verify the removal.
• API and UDF updates: Updated the relevant APIs and UDFs to support the option of immutable views and the system ability to recreate views
• Updated the Jira registration UI and related documentation to support both the new API Token (for Jira Cloud) and Password (for Self-Service Jira)
• Replaced the Installation Wizard with the installation procedure documented in the OverOps Installation Documentation to the Collector or Agent installation..
