Version
26.1.0

Integrity X v26.1 introduces Integrity feature modules, BlueCat's unified approach to integrating adaptive application functionality into Address Manager. With Integrity feature modules, select BlueCat applications that required external installation are now integrated directly into Address Manager, allowing users to easily license and operate adaptive applications from the Address Manager UI for a consistent, intuitive user experience.

On the Feature Modules management page, you can activate or deactivate feature modules, upload licenses, and start, stop, or restart activated feature modules. For more information, refer to Feature modules management.

On the Access rights page, you can assign feature access rights to define user and group access to feature modules. For more information, refer to Setting feature access rights for users and groups.

You can access logs for feature modules on the System logs page alongside other Address Manager logs. For more information, refer to Viewing Address Manager logs.

Note: Feature modules and database replication

Feature modules can only be enabled on the Primary server in a replication cluster. When replication is configured, feature module tabs and the feature module management page are only accessible on the Primary server. BlueCat recommends configuring replication first, then enabling feature modules on the Primary server.

The following feature modules are built-in to Address Manager v26.1:
  • Network Discovery & Visibility
    • Network Discovery & Visibility (ND&V) discovers and collects detailed inventory and topology information from network infrastructure (such as routers, switches, and servers), networks, and virtual environments (such as vCenter Servers, ESXi hosts, and virtual machines). ND&V uses multiple discovery methods (SNMP, SSH, and VMware APIs) to obtain detailed information from a variety of sources, providing you with complete and up-to-date visibility into your environment. This information is returned to Address Manager, where it can be reconciled with existing Address Manager data. For more information, refer to Feature Module: Network Discovery & Visibility.

  • Cloud Discovery & Visibility
    • Cloud Discovery & Visibility (CD&V) lets you search for network objects and infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments, then import the discovered objects into Address Manager. With CD&V, you can automatically and continuously discover, inventory, and synchronize cloud-based IP and DNS configurations for your entire data center and multi-cloud footprint from one place. For more information, refer to Feature Module: Cloud Discovery & Visibility.
