199 - Home Improvements
Hi there, eMagiz developers! In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving various aspects of our home. Among others we have improved the logging, alerting, and security of our next-generation architecture. On top of that we have improved the inner workings of the store and the certificate management for those of us using the Event Streaming pattern.
Next generation improvements and bug fixes
Enhanced overview of the HTTP Statistics
As of now all resources that have been called atleast once since deploying them will now show up in the left-bottom graph of the HTTP Statistics. This will make it easier to see whether a particular operation was called within a timeframe. On top of that it makes comparing data on various operations easier. In here you can also filter on one (by pressing the + icon) or more by clicking on the filter icon. In case you want to sort the table in a different manner you can click on the name of the column on which you want to sort.
Reason why runtime cannot start is now in the vast majority of cases reported back
In this release, we have improved the way we report failures during startup of runtimes. This will ensure that it becomes much easier to pinpoint what went wrong upon startup.
Forced congestion control
To reduce the number of repeating mails within a 10 minute window we have now forced congestion control on all alerts generated via the platform.
Improved validation errors on the invalid configuration of HTTP outbound components
This release fixes and re-introduces the option to execute your actions on the eMagiz per zone or all at once when running in a double-lane Docker setup.
Improved migration behavior
This release introduces several improvements concerning the migration behavior via "Transfer settings from Design." Among these are:
A smoother migration of your JMS (and backup JMS) process.
Shortening of names that otherwise would be too long, additional feedback given to the user.
Feedback when the migration process is finished.
Additional checks when deploying
This release introduces additional checks when deploying. Among others, we have added a check to prevent you from deploying two flows that use the same resource with differing versions. Not stopping this can cause issues with deployments and even worse with the functional behavior of the flows, as it leads to the situation in which a validation error might trigger on one offramp but not on the other.
Store Improvements
Event Streaming - Certificate Management
Fancy Forum Answers
As always, this is a gentle reminder to ask questions via the Q&A forum. The Q&A forum is available in the eMagiz iPaaS portal, so we can all benefit from the knowledge within the community. For some inspiration, take a look at these forum answers:
- How to determine the system definition for this sample message in JSON?
- Instability in JMS connection
