Release Notes 6.1

Juniper Switch Stacks support via SNMP
Added support for Juniper Switch Stacks by introducing blueprint named “Switch Stacks” standardizing terminology across switch stacks. During discovery via the stack’s IP, the main Juniper switch stack is identified as a Switch Stacks CI, and its member switches are discovered as individual Switch CIs. A Contains relationship is automatically established between the stack and its members by matching the Management IP Address with the stackʼs IP, ensuring accurate mapping of switch infrastructures.

Cisco Switch Stack Discovery via SSH
Added support for Cisco Switch Stacks by introducing blueprint named “Switch Stacks” standardizing terminology across switch stacks. During discovery via the stack’s IP, the main Cisco switch stack is identified as a Switch Stacks CI, and its member switches are discovered as individual Switch CIs (Existing Blueprint). A Contains relationship is automatically established between the stack and its members by matching the Management IP Address with the stackʼs IP, ensuring accurate mapping of switch infrastructures.

Oracle Database Discovery
Added support for Oracle Database system discovery. All database server instances running on Windows or Linux servers will be discovered during the Deep Host Scan probe. A “Runs On” relationship is established between the Windows/Linux server and the Oracle Database server via the Process DevOps Job.

Standalone ESXi Host via vCenter Discovery
Virima now supports identifying standalone ESXi hosts that are not part of any cluster, providing better visibility into clusterless data center resources.

New custom reports in Discovery Dashboard
This new report identifies Windows Servers (CIs) that do not have the Virima Discovery Agent installed. It determines this by checking each CIʼs InstalledSoftware relationship and excluding those where the software name contains “Virima Discovery Agent.”

MySQL Database Discovery via Agent-Based Scans (Windows/Linux)
The agent-based scan method now includes support for MySQL discovery. Tested on MySQL 5.0 and MySQL 8.0 and expected to work in all versions.

CyberArk
1.Included CyberArk support for “Deep Host Scan – SSH | SNMP | Windows (PowerShell)”.
2.Added support for Private key SSH authentication through CyberArk Vault. Implemented as part of Deep Host Scan

Application Upgrades
1.The updates introduced in version 6.1 require both the Discovery Application (v6.1.4023) and Discovery Agent (v6.1.118) to be updated to their respective latest versions.
Ensure a minimum of [250 MB] of free space is available for downloading and installing the Discovery Application, and [210 MB] for the Discovery Agent.
Upgrade Process:
  1.1.The Discovery Application downloads the files required for its own update and installs them to complete the application upgrade.
  1.2.After the application is upgraded, it retrieves the files needed to update the Discovery Agents.
  1.3.Each Discovery Agent pulls the required update files from the Discovery Application, performs the upgrade, and removes temporary             files upon completion.
  1.4.Once all agents have been successfully upgraded, the Discovery Application automatically deletes the agent update files
Note: The Discovery Agent version 6.1.118 is available only after upgrading the Discovery Application to version 6.1.4023 (latest).

Java Runtime Upgrade
The application and agent have been upgraded to Java 21, delivering major improvements in performance, security, and future compatibility.

Mutual TLS (mTLS) Support Added
The Discovery Agent and Discovery Application now support Mutual TLS (mTLS) between their connection.

Linux Agent Runs as Non-Root User
The Virima Linux agent, which previously required root privileges, now operates under a dedicated “virima agent” user account with full passwordless sudo access permission. This ensures that the agent can access all necessary system and service data for discovery.

Credential Flush Not Removing JEA Configuration
Fixed an issue where flushing credentials failed to remove the JEA configuration name, resulting in outdated references.

Incorrect Handling of Credential Activation Status
Fixed a problem where credentials marked as inactive were incorrectly saved as active in the Discovery Application.

Discovery Application Uninstallation Fix
Fixed an issue where deleting a client from the UI did not uninstall the Discovery application from the host device.

Validating Discovery Server Certificate
Fixed an issue where the SSL handshake was being performed with an expired certificate, despite a valid certificate being available in the trust store. The discovery application now correctly selects the valid certificate to establish the SSL connection with the discovery server and ignores the expired one, if any.

Security Enhancement in Discovery Application (PAExec)
A security vulnerability was identified in the Discovery Application where user credentials could be temporarily exposed during remote command execution. These credentials appeared in the antivirus or endpoint protection logs, increasing the risk of unintended exposure.

To resolve this issue, the credential handling mechanism has been enhanced to ensure that passwords are no longer visible in system process listings or captured by security software logs. The updated implementation securely manages credentials during execution, eliminating the risk of exposure while maintaining existing functionality.

Security Improvements
Overall application security has been improved by upgrading the SAAS supporting software and libraries to the most stable and secure version.

Enhanced Sidebar Scrolling
Improved navigation in the left sidebar by enabling mouse-wheel and touchpad scrolling with overscroll containment.

Sticky (Frozen) Table Headers
Table headers and filters now remain fixed at the top while scrolling through long grids and reports.

Confirm Delete Operation
Delete actions now require explicit user confirmation before proceeding.
1. For any delete operation that removes crucial data, the user must type “Delete” to confirm the operation.
2.For trivial delete operations (e.g., deleting a filter), confirmation is still required, but typing “Delete” is not necessary

Unlink Action – Icon & Label Update
Introduced Unlink icon in place of Trash icon and button label changed from Delete to Unlink to disassociate a record.

Unlink Confirmation for Associations
When disassociating records (e.g., unlinking Problems from Incidents), a confirmation dialog is now displayed.

Nutanix Discovery
Added support for discovering Nutanix environments, including Clusters, Storage Pools, Storage Containers, Nodes, Storage Disks VMs and VM Disk, through a new blueprint. Discovery is enabled via API integration (Rest API V1, V2, V3) with Prism Central or clusters (if Prism Central is unavailable), and SSH-based discovery for Prism Central and nodes. Requires reachable API endpoint and valid credentials. This was implemented as part of “Deep Host Scan – SSH | SNMP | Windows (PowerShell)” and “Deep Host Scan (WMIC | SSH | SNMP)” Probe and is represented in the BSM Views.

NetApp Storage Server Discovery
We added support for ONTAP clusters, nodes, SVMs, aggregates, volumes (with LUNs, shares, snapshots, qtrees), disks, and network interfaces via ONTAP REST APIs. Requires reachable API endpoint and valid credentials. This was implemented as part of “Deep Host Scan (WMIC | SSH | SNMP)” and “Deep Host Scan – SSH | SNMP | Windows (PowerShell)” API probe and is represented in the BSM Views.

HP MSA storage device discovery
Added API-based discovery for HP MSA arrays using REST API v2. Collects arrays, controllers, disks, disk groups, ports, volumes and publishes relationships to CMDB/BSM for end-to-end storage topology. Requires reachable API endpoint and valid credentials. This was implemented as part of “Deep Host Scan (WMIC | SSH | SNMP)” and “Deep Host Scan – SSH | SNMP | Windows (PowerShell)” API probe and is represented in the BSM Views

Note: The above new features require Discovery Application version (v6.1.4023) or above.
