Release Notes > Release Notes 6.1.5

Release Notes 6.1.5 – This release adds software usage metrics on CI records and automatic decommissioning of child/derived CIs, along with Discovery improvements such as CATO import mapping, Cisco Nexus neighbor IP support, and process identification for unknown device connections. It also includes numerous bug fixes across CMDB pagination, Adhoc Report errors, Ivanti sync hangs, and agent-based scan consistency on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Discovery
    Enhancement

    Improved CATO Device Import
    Enhanced CATO device import with improved metadata mapping.

  • Discovery
    Bug Fixes

    PowerShell Windows Host Discovery
    Fixed an issue where some Windows hosts running MySQL were not added to Discovered Items despite the scan reporting Success.

  • Bug Fixes

    Scheduled Scans and Imports Column Headers
    Fixed an issue where the last action column on the Scheduled Scans and Imports page were missing headers. Now, the Scans tab shows Scan Now, and import tab shows Import Now headers.

  • Bug Fixes

    vCenter Credential Privilege Validation
    Fixed an issue where a vCenter credential without sufficient permissions passed validation but caused scans to fail with a generic error. Now, the permission checks happen upfront, with a clear error shown when access is insufficient.

  • CMDB
    New Feature

    View Software Usage Metrics from CI Record
    Added support for viewing software usage metrics directly from a CI record when the provided CIs installed software is monitored for tracking.

  • CMDB
    Enhancement

    Decommission Child and Derived CIs
    Enhanced decommission processing to mark the child and derived CIs status as decommissioned when its parent CI is decommissioned.

  • Enhancement

    Process Name for Connections to Unknown Devices
    Enhanced BSM Maps to show the process name for Communicates With relationship, helping users identify which process initiated the connection.

  • Enhancement

    CDP Neighbour IP Support for Cisco Nexus (NX-OS)
    Enhanced neighbour discovery to also capture IP addresses from Cisco Nexus (NX-OS) devices, enabling switch-to-switch Connected To relationship to be created after discovery and Process Network Connections.

  • CMDB
    Bug Fixes

    Installed On Tab Pagination Fixes
    1. Fixed an issue where the tab retained the previous pagination state when opening a different CI record.

  • Integration
    Bug Fixes

    BSM View Incident and Change Icon Refresh
    Fixed an issue where the Incident or Change indicator icon did not appear on a CI in the BSM view after creating an Incident or Change through the ITSM tab. Now, the indicator appears automatically without requiring users to navigate to the Incidents or Changes tab and return to the BSM view.

  • Admin
    Enhancement

    Nth-Level Version Support in Major Software
