6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release
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!

9 -//__Grafana improvements__//
10 -* The throughput now shows the unit of measurement in the Queue statistics.
11 -* The units of measurement have been improved in the following graphs:
12 -** Runtime detail: Log events are counted as a sum instead of a maximum per data point. Data measurements show if a runtime is on or off.
13 -** Queue detail: Data measurements show if a queue is on or off.
14 -** Event streaming: The Bytes in and out are not a rate per seconds but dynamic based on the time frame selected. The messages in are counted not based on per second but also dynamic based on the time frame selected.
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.

18 -* The Memory and CPU usage table in the Runtime statistics displays the maximum value in a given time period that is selected.
19 -* Pressing the 'show main dashboard' button returns back to the unfiltered master dashboard.
20 -* For detailed views the 'show main dashboard' button is on the left.
21 -* Graphs on a page share the same crosshair.
22 -* The styling on HTTP statistics when there are no (un)successful requests within a timeframe has been improved.
23 -* For selection dropdowns the selected variables are locked to the top for easy deselection.

28 -//__Failover deployment plan__//
29 -The deployment plan steps with type 'Failover' is now deprecated, meaning they can no longer be added to a deployment plan.
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.

31 -//__Edit mode flow testing__//
32 -Test messages can now be edited or removed while in the edit mode of the flow testing functionality.
26 +{{warning}}Please note that the new queue alerting will not yet be available for queues with message redelivery. {{/warning}}
33 33  
34 -//__Edit mode flow testing__//
35 -Setting the value of a missing property will now automatically remove it from the missing properties overview. Besides that, search and sort functionality have been added to the missing properties overview.
36 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-228-missing-properties.png]]
28 +//__Tenant technical name__//
29 +The technical name of a tenant cannot be changed once the tenant has been transferred to Create.

39 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
40 -//__Legacy properties__//
41 -We removed legacy properties in connections through the eMagiz Mendix connector. This means that you will not get blocked anymore when deploying to Production.
31 +//__Tenant transfer__//
32 +A tenant cannot be untransferred from Create if the connector container of that tenant is still active in Deploy.
42 42  
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.
43 43  
37 +//__Machine pop-up__//
38 +* The machine 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.

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'.
