Feature Highlights
- AI-Powered Data Analysis and Visualization [RREP-53] [RREP-206] [RREP-213] [RREP-226] [RREP-244]
- Task Dependencies for Smarter Execution [RREP-79]
- Generic OpenLDAP Connector [RCP-43]
Enhanced Support for Third Party Connectors
- CrowdStrike Discovery [RCP-9] [RCP-80] [RCP-106]
- Adobe Admin Console [RCP-105] [RCP-11] [ZEN-31026]
- JAMF Pro [RCP-70]
- Kubernetes [RCP-68] [RCP-116] [RCP-61]
- Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) [RCP-73]
Extended Technology Catalog Integration [RREP-261]
- Software descriptions
Each detected software entry now includes a brief description outlining its purpose, significance, and key functions. This added context enhances IT asset visibility and supports optimization efforts. [RREP-29] [RREP-236]
- Enhanced EoL/EoS state detection
The catalog now better identifies whether a software product is still supported, even when vendors have not explicitly announced End-of-Life (EoL) or End-of-Support (EoS) dates. Previously, such cases were marked as unknown, but starting with version 14.1, they will be categorized as supported or not supported—even when no official date is available. [RREP-177]
- Information origin markers
For release dates, End-of-Life or End-of-Service data, Data Hub now provides information about its origin. This can be either information from the publisher (official sites, blogs, communities), from an independent party (like software aggregators, internet encyclopedias, independent forums), or data based on pattern analysis by mathematical models and artificial intelligence. [RREP-177]
- More transparent data modification
Entries in the Technology Catalog now include a last modification date from the official Raynet instance, making it easier to track updates and synchronize data with external APIs. The modification date is available for the following objects: manufacturer, software product & version, hardware product & model. [RREP-29] [RREP-5]
- Better resilience to hardware duplicates
Even if your hardware data contains duplicate entries, the Technology Catalogue Connector now handles them with grace. The previous restriction on unique manufacturer-product-model combinations has been removed. This change affects users who directly use the Technology Catalogue functionality without the inventory scans performed by Raynet One or RayVentory. [RREP-59]
- Other under-the-hood improvements
This release also introduces various backend improvements, particularly in handling non-Windows software signatures. These enhancements will be fully phased in across upcoming versions. [RREP-86]
- Extended Raynet One Connector [RR-4405] [RREP-269] [RR-237] [RREP-237] [RR-4333]
- Generic Data Connector for MongoDB [RCP-28]
- First-Class MariaDB Integration [RREP-144] [RREP-158] [RREP-180] [RREP-205] [RREP-283] [RREP-276]
- Support for Active-Passive High Availability [RREP-41] [ZEN-28013]
Security improvements
- The process for creating API keys has been streamlined with a more intuitive user interface, ensuring a smoother and more secure experience for users. [RREP-217]
- Security-related events are now logged in more detail, with granular control over what is tracked. This allows for better monitoring and auditing of critical activities. This subsystem now conforms to the standards and guidelines set by the German Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informatik (BSI), ensuring adherence to high security and data protection practices. [RREP-61] [ZEN-28585] [ZEN-31374]
Other Improvements
- Users can now adjust the maximum allowed page size when requesting data via the Data Hub REST APIs. This change can be made either through an environment variable or by modifying the
appsettings.json file, providing more control over data retrieval. [RREP-92] [ZEN-27485]
- A series of UI improvements have been implemented, ensuring that the interface adheres to Raynet's unified look and feel across all components, offering a more consistent and polished user experience. [RREP-187] [RREP-96] [RREP-97] [RREP-99] [RREP-111] [RREP-113] [RREP-123] [RREP-125] [RREP-126] [RREP-136] [RREP-146] [RREP-145] [RREP-152] [RREP-156] [RREP-162] [RREP-164] [RREP-165] [RREP-170] [RREP-188] [RREP-216] [RREP-225] [RREP-235] [RREP-247] [RREP-251] [RREP-256] [RREP-129]
- Improved performance of Active Directory connector when handling many nested groups. In our tests, these operations are up to 10x faster. [RREP-31] [RCP-37] [ZEN-28824]
- A new API endpoint
v1/Collectors/getByTenantId has been added, allowing users to retrieve a list of all available connectors, making it easier to integrate and manage third-party tools and services. [RR-4326]
- The endpoint accepts parameters
tenantId and additional filtering via boolean onlyLicensed and onlyEnabled URL parameters.
- Switching from design to the preview mode now is consistent for reports and dashboard designer. In this version, both will be saved when doing so to prevent possible loss of unsaved changes. In previous versions, the automatic save was only performed for Dashboards. Additionally, this means that refreshing the preview page does not lead to an automatic revert to the previous state. [RREP-94] [RREP-140]
- Warnings from license activation are now much clearly telling the actual reason of failed activation. [RREP-176]
- It is now possible to use a transformation step with more than 64 dependencies. [RREP-250] [ZEN-32260]
Resolved issues:
- Report sharing now works correctly when using an external identity provider (Keycloak). [RREP-223] [ZEN-32150]
- Resolved issue with missing tasks related to Oracle functions and other minor issues. [RREP-167] [RREP-249]
- Resolved issue with potential data loss in the Oracle Java Dashboard after migration from version 12.6 to 14.0, ensuring dashboards are now in the correct state without the dependency on hardware normalization by the Technology Catalog task. [RREP-84] [ZEN-31170]
- Resolved issue with errors returned by the Portfolio Optimization task under Data analysis>Portfolio optimization>Software portfolio overview>Software portfolio overview redundant software. [RREP-120]
- Resolved issue with error 404 being displayed on the homepage after deleting a starred dashboard or report without first “unstarring” it. [RREP-124] [RREP-180]
- Resolved issue with product activation occasionally not working, which required re-entering activation data. [RREP-134]
- Resolved issues with error message
Unexpected data at end of column_count packet when using MariaDB database. [RREP-93] [ZEN-31343]
- Resolved issues with error message
An exception occurred while iterating over the results of a query for context type 'Raynet.RayVentory.DataHub.Persistence.Context.RayVentoryDataHubTenantAwareContext' when using MariaDB database. [RREP-178] [ZEN-28130]
- Resolved issue with the transformation process incorrectly producing
NVARCHAR length to unsupported values for string columns with lengths between 4000 and 10000 characters.
- Resolved issue with report exports to CSV and image formats, where a warning was shown, but no report was created in some cases. [RREP-157]
- Resolved issue with incorrect behavior of the language selector button on the login page. [RREP-161]
- Resolved issue with SQL errors in the default query for Oracle Java MSI Installations. [RREP-163]
- Resolved issue with the
GetStatusFromUacAndLogon macro in the standard transformation definition, improving support for LAST_SEEN_DAYS property, handling of null values, and string-based comparison for AccountDisable token. [RREP-181] [ZEN-31882]
- Resolved issue with sorting in the reports view, where triggering the sort mechanism could lead to an error about missing documents. [RREP-207]
- Resolved issue with incorrect column types being produced by the Enrich steps in specific scenarios. [RREP-233] [ZEN-31432] [ZEN-32174]
Breaking changes
- UI and front-end controls have been migrated to Angular 18. Note that this affects the list of supported web browsers (see https://angular.dev/reference/versions?utm_source=chatgpt.com#browser-support for more details). [RCAT-4] [RCAT-20]
- Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave etc.): 2 most recent versions
- Mozilla Firefox: latest and extended support release (ESR)
- Apple Safari: 2 most recent major versions
To run the “Standard Data Transformation” task, it is mandatory to set the LAST_SEEN_DAYS variable, as the SQL macro GetStatusFromUacAndLogon is using that variable now.
