New Features
- Micetro Update Management: Micetro can now be updated to a more recent version directly in the Web Application. In a new and intuitive interface administrators will be notified when new product updates are available. There they can easily review the updates, view the current status of all Micetro components, retry failed updates, and troubleshoot any update.
- Service Management: Server Management has been renamed to Service Management and significant improvements have been made to enhance user experience. In addition, we've streamlined the process of adding DNS, DHCP, and IPAM services with a single button that allows you to easily filter by provider or service name.
- Akamai AuthServe Integration: Support for Akamai's AuthServe DNS server has been added. Options Templates and the following record types are supported for the server: HTTPS, SVCB, CDS, CDNSKEY, and CSYNC.
- Support for Kea Client Classes: We have added support for Client Classifications on Kea DHCP servers (both v4 and v6).
- Global Object History: In the Web Application you can now view global object history in one place, which was previously limited to specific objects only. We have also made some minor improvements to the data available. This helps you to quickly and easily trace system activities in the event of an incident or problem. Additionally, all users can view their own object change history.
- Event Hooks: Scheduled Scripts are now called Scheduled Events, while External Scripts have been renamed to Change Events. You can manage these events, along with Subnet Monitoring Events on the Admin page of the Web Application.
- System Settings: Administrators can now manage the System Settings for Micetro in the Web Application.
- Move Objects Between Address Spaces: In the Web Application, servers and ranges can now be moved between address spaces in Micetro.
- DHCP Management: We have added the following DHCP management features to
the Web Application:
- Microsoft DHCP server-to-server failover relationships management.
- Definition of custom DHCP IPv4 and IPv6 options for individual Microsoft, Kea, and ISC services.
- Management of DHCP server properties.
- Zone Creation Workflow: We have introduced a new intuitive wizard for creating zones. Among other improvements, custom properties can be added to all zone types and zones can be added to folders during the creation process.
- Primary and Secondary Zones: Master/Slave terminology has been replaced with Primary/Secondary in the Web Application.
