Version History

Application VersionBug fixes / Enhancements
4.0.2Limited the discovery of resources to those located under Controllers. Include only HPE Alletra Fan, Temperature Sensors, Power Supplies, and NVMe Ports that are directly associated with Controllers. Exclude all such resources under Expanders to avoid reconciliation issues.
As part of the upgrade, the system will remove all previously discovered resources that are associated with Expanders.
4.0.1Fix provided to reduce the number of SSH connections to the end device.
4.0.0Default availability,threshold metric definition changes.
3.0.6Bug fix for SSH metric related parsing logic.
3.0.5Support adding the Root Resource UUID as a custom attribute for HPE Alletra 6000 app.
3.0.4Removed Time Zone dependency from SSH commands.
3.0.3
  • Added code support for Get Target Response command for each native type
  • On demand latest snapshot support and Activity logger changes
3.0.2API retry logic fix in case of connectivity related exceptions
3.0.1The default metric alert state value is changed to OK from Unknown in latest metric snapshot
