Highlight autodiscovers the Downstream and Upstream bandwidths on SD-WAN watches. If needed these can be adjusted using the Edit Watch panel. Autodiscovered values have a pale blue background (as shown) but turn white if any value has been changed. Find out more about using SD-WAN edit watch to change bandwidths.

By default, strip charts now show the product type of SD-WAN (instead of ADSL) making it faster to locate SD-WAN watches in a mixed site. Admin users can customise this if needed. Find out more about using SD-WAN edit watch to change product type.

Aerohive WiFi: Fixed an issue where newly provisioned access points that use an invalid MAC address would stop data collection. Highlight will now ignore access points where MAC address is all zeros, or where the access point is not yet in the managed state. (i.e. where the API response for an AP shows "mgmtStatus": "NEW")
