Check out the new features, fixes, and improvements in Version 3.3.0, including updates to the cloudSwXtch Bridge and a revamped cloudSwXtch Licensing Server.
What’s New:
Connect multiple cloudSwXtches to a single bridge: Prior to 3.3, cloudSwXtch Bridges were only able to create a 1:1 connection with a cloudSwXtch. In this new cloudSwXtch Bridge to Multi-cloudSwXtch feature, users can better utilize their on-premises hardware. To learn more about configuring the bridge for multiple cloudSwXtches, see here.
A new way of licensing cloudSwXtches: A revamped self-hosted Licensing Server is now available for installation in your cloudSwXtch network. The Licensing Server allows users to self-manage a bundle of cloudSwXtch licenses with matching entitlements for their deployments. Users would no longer need to request a single license per cloudSwXtch and can easily swap licenses between cloudSwXtch instances. Read more about it here.
Containerization comes to cloudSwXtch Bridge and Licensing Server: Both the cloudSwXtch Bridge and the Licensing Server can be installed via Docker. Stay tuned for updates on additional containerization efforts in future releases.
wXcked Eye’s new radial menu: Components in the Topology Graph will now display a radial menu when selected, centralizing configuration tools while relocating metrics to a new side panel.
Improvements:
wXcked Eye updates: Configure multiple xNICs at the same time via the cloudSwXtch component in the Topology Graph. Multiple Multicast and Source Specific Multicast configuration has been relocated to the wXcked Eye High Availability Settings page. Users can also Import and Export their HA Streams Config here to allow for easier configuration in future sessions.
swXtch-top updates: Users can now add and delete aliases for their components and streams. The color selector has also been expanded to allow for more customization.
Prometheus metrics: The Prometheus metrics output has been standardized, replacing all mentions of “xNIC” with “component.” To see the changes, see Prometheus Monitoring.
Bug Fixes
- Containerized cloudSwXtch Bridge via Docker resolves an issue with potentially corrupted packages during install.
- Fixed an issue in swXtch-top where descriptions in the Notification view were cut off. Descriptions are now justified in the window and will display fully.
- Fixed an issue where wXcked Eye Topology Graph filters were not being saved between sessions. Now, all filters and settings will persist.
