Release notes 8.7.1
What's new?
8.7.1 is a maintenance release with small enhancements and bug fixes.
The title used for email alerts has been made more explicit.
Migrating legacy service tiles
Following this release we will be able to migrate legacy service tiles to our new container-based service tiles. If you currently have any legacy service tiles, our service delivery team will be in touch to arrange a date for the migration. Contact us if you have any questions about this process.
Watch the Video: Service tile description
A service tile is now created using a container, allowing all previous functionality and more:
- Improved workflow
- Streamlined user interface to create service tiles
- Set thresholds
- Change tile colour based on the number of watches with issues
- Test templates
- Quickly create multiple performance tests
- Maintenance windows
- Temporarily stop watches generating alerts or affecting heat tiles
Performance test templates and containers offer everything previously available with service tests and more. There's a simplified workflow for creation of multiple tests with similar characteristics. You can set a template so that performance tests created with it will automatically link to a container on creation.
Find out more about creating service tiles and performance test templates.
