New account permissions UI and APIs

The interface for managing permissions of accounts on the Lastline portal has been completely redesigned. Management of permissions in the portal is accessed by selecting the "edit" option on an account in the accounts management page

The new interface provides more information on what permissions do and should make it easier for administrators to manage user permissions.

This release also introduces two new permissions that provide finer-grained control of appliance-related functionality.

  • can view appliances: Ability to view information about appliances

  • can manage appliances: Ability to perform all actions needed to manage an appliance

Support for filtering in appliance monitoring logs UI

The appliance monitoring logs page has been improved by adding support for filtering the displayed logs. Monitoring logs can be filtered based on:

  • Their impact level: Ok, warning or error
  • The log identifier
  • The component they refer to
  • The appliance type
  • The content of the log message itself

Additional appliance metrics for system load

This release adds a new metrics page that displays metrics about system load, and in particular IO load metrics such as IO utilization and disk read and write speeds. The new load metrics page is accessible under the metrics dropdown of the Appliances tab.

Extraction of links from PDF artifacts

Links included in PDF artifacts submitted for analysis are now extracted, included in the generated analysis report, and displayed in the analysis report UI. Please refer to the Analyst API documentation for more details.
