The following features have been added in CA Performance Center 2.4.1 and Data Aggregator 2.4.1.
Note: For a complete list of new features and enhancements, see the GA Release Letter. For information about late-breaking changes, see the product Readme files.
Usability Enhancements
Enhanced breadcrumbs provide faster access to groups and sites, which simplifies navigation. A full path to the currently selected group now appears. Users can click a site or group to change the context of the dashboard.
The ability to edit view settings for the site list is now available. Four selections are available:
Export to a CSV file in RAW format without units. The units are now listed in the column headers in the CSV file.
Scorecards now supports decimals when showing metric values. Users can also enter decimal numbers in the scorecard’s view settings.
Access the DA administrator page directly from a page associated with the DA. The new role right "Drill from Views into DA Admin Page" has been created for this purpose.
When a user changes a dashboard layout, no views are removed, but are instead moved to the first pane of the new layout. All view edits are preserved when the views are moved to the new layout.
Poll filtering now applies to all metric families. In addition, a new UI has been created to support the creation of filter expressions. Expressions involving logic are supported, including nested AND/OR/NOT expressions.
User Interface Enhancements
A new ‘Context’ drop-down lets users fix a dashboard to a specific group from the dashboard settings dialog. A lock icon now indicates whether a view is fixed to the selected context or whether it is fixed to the page-level context.
When configuring the browser view, a number of URL parameters are now available. URL parameters can set the language, resolution, and other properties. Identifiers can also be added to each URL parameter to act as meaningful labels.
The group that is currently selected is highlighted in the group tree when users switch between groups.
The new "Run Dashboards at Higher Resolution" role right lets users select more granular time ranges when viewing dashboards. Users without this role right are still limited to the default time ranges set by CA Performance Center.
Reporting
Two new role rights can be assigned to limit access to viewing and managing on-demand reports:
Lets users create, edit, and delete on-demand report templates. This role right also determines who can view the on-demand report templates.
Lets users run on-demand report templates.
API
New public API for building queries to access configuration information and metric data. The OpenAPI query builder produces a URL using the OData 2.0 standard, which lets you view custom metric data in the specified format.
Vendor Certifications
Two new XML general attributes have been created for vendor certifications and metric families.
Upgrading to a new version of Data Aggregator now requires users to run the certification migration tool, which is included in the installer package. The migration tool moves vendor and CAMM certifications and metric families to the appropriate directory.
In addition to using a REST client to import a certification, users can now use the new certification installer. The installer can install single or multiple certifications, and certifications that are located in specific directories. The certification installer does not have to be run on the Data Aggregator machine. The installer has both Windows and Linux versions, with a UI available for both, and command line available for Linux.
