6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we have done much work to improve our logging and overviews. This should improve the user experience for our platform. Next to this, we have done several minor changes and bug fixes, mainly relating to the Deploy and Manage phase.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** The past few weeks we have worked hard to release our new queue alerting design. Please find out all new features in our [[Standard Alerting eMagiz>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] microlearning. Note that the new queue alerting will not yet be availalbe for queues with message redelivery. Next to alerting, we have worked on tenant items, machine pop-ups and progress bars, as well as the Infinispan Cache Manager. Find out all below!

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.
11 -
12 -//__Runtime logging__//
13 -We fixed a bug where no new log messages were showing up, even though they were produced by a container.
14 -
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.
17 -
18 -== **Overviews** ==
19 -
20 -//__Runtime overview__//
21 -We added a new overview in the Deploy phase, called 'Runtime Overview', which shows the information of all runtimes on running machines.
22 -
23 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-runtime-overview.png]]
24 -
25 -//__Missing properties overview__//
26 -The missing properties overview has been updated to show the runtimes and flow versions of missing property values.
27 -
28 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-missing-properties-overview.png]]
29 -
30 -//__Runtime restart or redeploy overview__//
31 -Before executing the deployment plan to deploy machines, a pop-up will be shown with a list of the affected runtimes.

35 35  == **Feedback Items** ==
9 +//__Queue alerting__//
10 +Alerting for message queues has been improved for the [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] architecture, which includes the following improvements:
11 +* New UI that shows all queues and the alerting that is active on them.
12 +* Every queue in the model will be automatically added to the list of queues in Manage - Alerting.
13 +* Triggers of a queue will be automatically enabled or disabled based on whether that queue is included in the release.
14 +* Added 2 new trigger types "inactivity check" and "periodic activity check" that replace the "queue throughput" alert.
15 +** These checks can now run for a (very) long time, whereas the "queue throughput" was limited by 1 hour.
16 +* The alert generation has been solidified to reduce the likelihood that your alerting is affected with false positives or false negatives during eMagiz maintenance.
17 +* When the same check of multiple queues trigger at the same time, the alerts will be aggregated into a single summarized email instead of a single email per alert.
36 36  
37 -//__Breaking changes pop-up__//
38 -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'.

40 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-breaking-changes.png]]
41 41  
42 -//__External recipients emailaddress__//
43 -The overview of external recipients has been updated. External recipients are now created on a model level, instead of comma separated list. This means that you can add them to your environment directly, like internal users.
22 +{{info}}Please check out our [[Standard Alerting eMagiz>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] microlearning for an elaborate explanation of our new queue alerting design. {{/info}}
44 44  
45 -//__Broker queue metrics dashboards__//
46 -It is now possible to select the MQTT broker in the queue metrics dashboards.
24 +eMagiz will migrate your dynamic queue alerts on the **release day** when you are **fully** or **partially** migrated to the [[current runtime architecture>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]]. When doing so, we will configure the new queue alert in a similar fashion to best match its current behaviour. Note that the queue alerting will only function for models that are **fully** migrated to the [[current runtime architecture>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]]. Should you want to change or create new queue alerts, you can do so starting the day **after** the release to avoid conflicts with our migration.
47 47  
48 -//__Runtime image version__//
49 -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.
26 +{{warning}}Please note that the new queue alerting will not yet be available for models with message redelivery. {{/warning}}
50 50  
28 +//__Tenant technical name__//
29 +For multi-tenant system integrations, the technical name of a tenant cannot be changed once the tenant has been transferred to Create.
51 51  
52 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
31 +//__Tenant transfer__//
32 +A tenant cannot be untransferred from Create if the connector container of that tenant is still active in Deploy.
53 53  
54 -//__Message throughput__//
55 -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.
34 +//__Property placeholder__//
35 +A property placeholder which contains a tenant name will be hidden in case its values and the technical name of the tenant are equal.
56 56  
57 -//__Cloud template upgrade incorrect rollback__//
58 -An issue has been fixed where a cloud template upgrade would be rolled back incorrectly due to failed runtime checks.
37 +//__Machine details pop-up__//
38 +* The machine details pop-up in Deploy Architecture now shows the name of the machine in the pop-up header.
39 +* The machine health indicator has been improved visually.
40 +* Several progress bars have been improved visually.
59 59  
60 -//__Next generation block__//
61 -Apply to environment will now be blocked when trying to deploy Gen3 runtimes on a Gen2 model.
42 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-226-machine-name.png]]
43 +
44 +//__Infinispan Cache Manager__//
45 +The Infinispan Cache Manager has been updated to:
46 +* Provide an additional 'transport type' to offer more means for creating a clustered setup;
47 +* Provide clearer helptexts explaining which of the options is needed and what its effect is;
48 +* Include validation on fields depending on the selected 'transport type'.
