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 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!**
6 6  
7 -== **Event streaming alerting** ==
8 +== **Logging** ==
9 +//__Missing log entries__//
10 +We improved crash handling so that log messages clearly show when and why a container failed to start.
8 8  
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.
12 +//__Runtime logging__//
13 +We fixed a bug where no new log messages were showing up, even though they were produced by the container.
10 10  
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.
15 +//__Deployment execution error message__//
16 +In some cases when a machine type step in the deployment plan execution errors, the portal may give an error when trying to display the error message. This has been fixed by now showing a generic error in the deployment plan and logging the full error in the Deploy history. The Deploy history will show a summary of the error and show the full error message in a new pop-up.
12 12  
13 -The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on the queue level we already offer to the community.
18 +== **Overviews** ==
19 +//__Runtime overview__//
20 +We added a new overview in the Deploy phase, called 'Runtime Overview', which shows the information of all runtimes on running machines in an overview.
14 14  
15 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@197-release-blog--new-alerting-options.png]]
22 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-runtime-overview.png]]
16 16  
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.
24 +//__Missing properties overview__//
25 +The missing properties overview has been updated to show the runtimes and flow versions of missing property values.
18 18  
19 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@197-release-blog--alert-config-example.png]]
27 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-missing-properties-overview.png]]
20 20  
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.
29 +//__Runtime restart or redeploy overview__//
30 +Before executing the deployment plan to deploy machines, a pop-up will be shown with a list of the affected runtimes.
22 22  
23 -For more information on the generic way of working surrounding alerting, please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] and this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.Alerting.novice-alerting-dynamic-alerting.WebHome||target="blank"]].

24 24  
25 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
26 26  
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.
35 +== **Feedback Items** ==
29 29  
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.
32 32  
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.
38 +//__Breaking changes pop-up__//
39 +Pending changes that have a high risk level are now shown in red bold in the pop up that appears after clicking 'Apply to environment'.
35 35  
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.
41 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-breaking-changes.jpg]]
38 38  
39 -//__Improved rollup and storage of metrics when running your solution in the next generation archticture__//
40 -To improve the stability of the Manage phase and, in particular, the metrics when zooming out on the provided information, we have made some structural changes that support this user functionality better.
43 +//__External recipients emailaddress__//
44 +The overview of external recipients has been updated. External recipients are created on a model level, instead of comma separated list. This means that you can add them to your environment directly, like internal users.
41 41  
42 -{{warning}} Due to this change, the platform will remove data collected before the release date in the upcoming weeks. This process will be finished at the beginning of June. From then on, all data before the 12th of May will no longer be visible. As users generally do not look back this far back in time, we consider this an acceptable trade-off. {{/warning}}
46 +//__Broker queue metrics dashboards__//
47 +It is now possible to select the MQTT broker in the queue metrics dashboards.
43 43  
44 -== **Feedback items ** ==
49 +//__Runtime image version__//
50 +The version of runtime images used to prepare your containers for deployments will be the same across all environments. This holds for releases that are deployed and promoted to a next environment.
45 45  
46 -//__Make sure the message format can be viewed without "Start editing"__//
47 -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.
48 48  
49 -//__Various styling improvements in the flow testing functionality__//
50 -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.
53 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
51 51  
55 +//__Message throughput__//
56 +The message throughput graph in the Manage phase will now show the correct data, independent from the selected time internal. Before, this graph would not show any data in some cases.
57 +
58 +//__Cloud template upgrade unjust rollback__//
59 +An issue has been fixed where a cloud template upgrade would be rolled back unjustly due to failed runtime checks.
60 +
61 +//__Next generation block__//
62 +Apply to environment will now be blocked when trying to deploy Gen3 runtimes on a Gen2 model.
