5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have processed additional feedback on the Manage phase to ensure you can more easily create overviews of your statistics, displaying all information correctly and improving the migration process to the next-generation architecture in the Create phase slightly. On top of that, we have improved the scalability of our new generation monitoring stack and the alerting structure. We will also release a new cloud template for our next-generation infrastructure to comply with technical requirements from our cloud provider.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving our next-generation architecture and introduced alerting functionality on top of our event streaming pattern based on user feedback. Furthermore, several smaller feedback items and bugs have been resolved with this release. So without further ado, let us dive into all we have to offer.
6 6  
7 -== ** Mandatory Cloud Template Upgrade - Next-generation models ** ==
7 +== **Event streaming alerting** ==
8 8  
9 -As can be seen on our [[status page>>https://status.emagiz.com/incidents/dbh6g9w3ks7q||target="blank"]], we will release a new cloud template for our next-generation models (both single and double lane) that will change a configuration in these templates to comply with technical and operational requirements from our cloud provider. The announcement of the status page itself holds more detail for those to whom it pertains.
9 +This release expands our alerting functionality into the event streaming pattern. As of now, one new "static" alert has been introduced for all clients (using event streaming), and two "dynamic" alerts have been introduced that you can configure yourself if there is a need for it.
10 10  
11 -== **Feedback Items** ==
11 +The "static" alert we have added raises an alert (and a subsequent email) when the actual topic size crosses the threshold of 80% of the configured maximum retention size on a topic. This alert provides insights into whether messages on it are deleted due to a size or time constraint. In cases where data is deleted, the topic was too full way before the messages should have been removed due to the retention hours constraint. This alert can indicate that messages might be deleted before consumer groups had the option to consume the messages.
12 12  
13 -//__Improved Validation when migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
14 -To improve the migration process to the next-generation architecture, we now show a list of all reported problems, allowing the user to resolve them before migrating to the next-generation architecture.
13 +The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on the queue level we already offer to the community.
15 15  
16 -{{info}}Note that when no problem is found, the migration process of that runtime will start automatically.{{/info}}
15 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@197-release-blog--new-alerting-options.png]]
17 17  
18 -//__Improved HTTP Statistics__//
19 -To improve the filtering and refresh functionality we offer on this overview, we have made several changes in this release that will improve the behavior of this overview.
17 +The first new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once the number of messages on one (or more topics) is less than a certain number per defined time unit. So, for example, you can configure an alert once the number of messages placed on a topic called "Exception" is less than 15 messages within 5 minutes.
20 20  
21 -//__Show values on the runtime level in Deploy Architecture__//
22 -We have improved the values shown on the runtime (i.e., container) level in Deploy Architecture so you can better assess whether the memory configuration is still suitable for your deployed solution.
19 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--alert-config-example.png]]
23 23  
24 -{{info}}To get to the values we use different calculation methods per type of runtime, as certain runtime types have various reasons for existence.
25 -* JMS - The number of queues in the active release.
26 -* Messaging Container - The number of messaging integrations in the active release.
27 -* Messaging Connector - The number of messaging integrations related to this system in the active release.
28 -* API Gateway Container - The number of operations in the active release.
29 -* Event Streaming Container - The number of event processors in the active release.
21 +The second new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once one (or more) consumer groups are more than X messages behind on one or more topics. The configuration of this is comparable to what we saw before.
30 30  
31 -There might be multi-tenant and multi-runtime situations that do not always get to the exact number; however, this is a great improvement compared to showing no values.{{/info}}

33 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
25 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
34 34  
35 -//__Gain the ability again to configure certificates in Deploy Architecture again__//
36 -In restricting the configuration options on the certificate level in one of our latter releases, it became impossible for normal users to add and edit certificates within Deploy Architecture. To resolve this problem we have now released a fix to resolve this issue, giving people the ability again to add and edit certificates under Deploy Architecture.
27 +//__Increased grace period for shutdown__//
28 +In this release, we have increased a container's grace period to shut down before it is forcefully shut down. This should reduce the chance of unwanted failover behavior within your model.
37 37  
38 -//__Ensure that differing container configurations deploy the correct configuration__//
39 -When you run in a multi-runtime configuration and change the actual flows that need to run on container A vs. container B, it happened before that all flows were still being deployed on all runtimes. With this release, we will feed this information correctly to our infrastructure to ensure the correct and configured flows are deployed on the proper containers.
30 +//__Update at once or not__//
31 +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.
40 40  
41 -//__Remove queurying options in Manage__//
42 -To avoid errors and loading problems when analyzing your statistics in Manage, we have removed the option to select a default time range spanning more than seven days. This is to guarantee the stability of the solution and to avoid users getting unnecessary errors.
33 +//__Improved user feedback while executing a deployment plan__//
34 +This release introduces additional feedback to the user when the deployment plan is executed. This is noticeable when a step cannot be executed properly. The relevant information about why this cannot be executed is shown to the user. This way, they can take this information and act upon it instead of assuming everything went well.
43 43  
36 +//__Improved auto-healing when running in a hybrid situation__//
37 +In situations where you run in a hybrid situation (i.e., partly next-gen and partly the current generation), we have improved the auto-healing functionality in case an "out of memory" appears on a runtime running in the current generation but on a next-generation architecture.
38 +
39 +== **Feedback items ** ==
40 +
41 +//__Make sure the message format can be viewed without "Start editing"__//
42 +With this release, we have ensured that when you navigate to Design -> System message, you can see the message format (i.e., XML, JSON, or EDI) without entering the "Start Editing" mode.
43 +
44 +//__Various styling improvements in the flow testing functionality__//
45 +Various minor styling improvements have been added to the flow testing functionality to improve the overall user experience. Please check out the release notes for a complete list and more details.
