Capture: New releases 09/2024

See what's new in Capture and check the improvements and functionalities in this September 2024 update.

Highlights​

Product Management​

The new Product Management app in Capture allows users to create and manage products, define licenses, and link them to loggers or fleets. Key features include:

  • Create and manage products with specific properties.
  • Define licenses that can contain multiple products, giving greater flexibility in how you assign product packages.
  • Link licenses to loggers for individual product use and management.
  • Link licenses to fleets, ensuring every logger in the fleet automatically inherits the license and its product set.

This app simplifies product lifecycle management, allowing users to create product bundles and efficiently assign them across loggers or entire fleets.

API Tokens​

API Tokens are now available under the Identity & Access section. These tokens work similarly to user roles, allowing secure and efficient interaction with the Capture Portal and Capture Data API. API Tokens can be:

  • Assigned specific rights, just like user roles.
  • Used for reading or writing data to a specific database using the Capture Data API.
  • Managed via the API Tokens tab, where users can define the rights, name, and duration of each token.

This feature enables safer and more granular access control for automated processes or external integrations.

New Mobile Frontend​

The Mobile Frontend now allows users to access Grafana Dashboards from their mobile devices. This feature provides the flexibility to monitor data and insights on the go. With the mobile frontend, users can:

  • Seamlessly access Grafana Dashboards configured in the Capture environment.
  • Stay updated with real-time data monitoring from anywhere.

This new mobile-friendly design ensures a smooth experience when viewing and interacting with dashboards, enhancing accessibility.

Alerting​

You can now configure how to handle the situation where the database has no data in the specified time range for the condition query, using the How to handle no data selection box.

These are the options:

Abort check: The alert check is aborted for this specific logger. No alert will be triggered for this logger and any existing alert will not be cleared. This was the behavior before this new feature, when the setting 'Trigger on no value' was not enabled.

Handle as true: The condition will be treated as "True". This is useful for alerts that should trigger when no data is present. Previously this was possible by enabling the setting 'Trigger on no value'.

Handle as false: The condition is handled as false. If the combined conditions result in False, any existing alert is cleared. This was previously not possible. This is the default for new alert conditions.

This setting replaces the setting 'Trigger on no value'. For existing alert configurations, the old setting is translated to the new one.
