New features and enhancements

Podman containers support

Infrastructure Monitoring | Containers

OneAgent installed on a host running Podman now detects Podman containers and collects container metrics. Note that OneAgent deployment inside a Podman container is not supported.

For successful instrumentation, Podman must be configured to use crun (instead of runc) as its low-level container runtime to ensure the correct functioning of OneAgent with Podman containers. To check the runtime, do one of the following:

  • Inspect the /etc/containers/libpod.conf file.
  • Execute the podman info command and look for the ociRuntime field, which indicates the active runtime (such as crun or runc).

OneAgent metric API supported on AIX

Infrastructure Monitoring | AIX hosts

OneAgent metric API is now supported for OneAgents installed on the AIX hosts.

Application Security

Application Security | Attack and vulnerability detection

Attack and vulnerability detections now support servlet-api-5.0.

Enable secure zLocal-zRemote connection

Apps & Microservices | zRemote

You can configure a secure zLocal-zRemote connection by setting AT-TLS for the zLocal and SSL for the zRemote.

Indication when CICS/IMS distributed traces are truncated

Apps & Microservices | CICS/IMS distributed traces

We now indicate at which node the CICS/IMS traces are truncated. By default, they're truncated at the 500th node.

OS module

  • Added support for custom properties for the "service not installed" alert. Placeholders are supported, but since the "service not installed" alert is raised when there is no service matching the rule, any placeholder starting with `dt.osservice` will be changed to "[unknown]". (HOST-2951)
  • Corrected format of host ID stored in `ruxithost.id` file. When the host ID is shorter than 16 characters, it's now padded with leading zeroes instead of spaces. (HOST-2544)

.NET

  • Fixed an issue when requesting request attributes for OWIN .NET web applications. (OA-17160)

AI causation engine

  • Resolved an issue in which an incorrect TopX computation sometimes led to a crash in web server agents such as Apache, NGINX, or IIS if too many unique URLs were processed. (OA-17813)

All modules

  • Resolved an issue that sometimes caused an exception when creating the host display name, resulting in OneAgent termination. (OA-17245)
  • To improve CPU metrics accuracy when processes are inactive for a longer period of time (which could cause spikes in CPU usage when PIDs are incorrectly detected as timed out), the timeout for worker processes in standalone mode has been increased from 5 minutes to 6 hours. This adjustment also improves logging for worker CPU processing, which enables better analysis of related issues. (OA-15939)

Mainframe

  • The zIIP usage metric is no longer always set to 0. (OA-17491)
