2.2.10

Fixes:
  • IBM FlashSystem: v2.2.0 has a bug that prevents the storage connection test from running successfully, data is being collected.
  • Hitachi VSP: Fixed incorrect status evaluation for mirroring, which could trigger false alerts.
  • Red Hat OpenShift/Kubernetes: The cluster is missing in the alerting
  • NetApp FAS/AFF: Latency has not been working since v2.2.0
  • HPE OneView: supported are only Local domain users. Other domains will be configurable in a future releases.
  • HPE iLO, Dell iDRAC and Lenovo XClarity: WWN extraction sometimes failing what breaks data load
  • Brocade SAN: The wrong metric was used for enc_out (encoding-disparity-errors was used instead of encoding-errors-outside-frame).
  • Cisco LAN: SFP fix
  • Grafana: Capacity tables imported from XorMon were not working.
  • Docker: The prediction analyzer module has not been working since the v2.2.0.
  • Dell EMC² XtremIO: Total data throughput per cluster has been fixed (wrong values, kB/sec vrs MB/sec)

2.2.0
