We’re pleased to announce the availability of HealthBot Release 3.2.0. With this release, the new and changed features include:
Starting with HealthBot Release 3.2.0, you can install and run HealthBot on version 18.04 or later of the Ubuntu operating system. The offline package installer is supported only on 18.04.04. No earlier version of 18.04 is supported for the offline package installer.
Starting with HealthBot Release 3.2.0, you can configure HealthBot to accept sFlow as an ingest method from configured devices. sFlow encoded packets arrive at HealthBot, are processed, and stored in the TSDB database. Thus, HealthBot can analyze sFlow data in the same ways as it does for other ingest methods.
Outbound SSH allows Junos OS devices to establish SSH/Netconf connections with network management platforms so that the Junos OS device acts as the server and the management platform (HealthBot) acts as the client. Once the device is added to HealthBot, you can enable Outbound SSH for the device or device group by clicking the enable button and providing a unique port number for the device to communicate over. Once HealthBot completes an Outbound SSH connection with a device, it initiates a key exchange so that all future communications are key-based.
HealthBot supports networking devices that are configured with IPv6 addresses.
Note For installing HealthBot, you must use only IPv4 addresses.
The Time Inspector view allows users to drill down into the health status information shown in the table view on the Monitor > Health page. Time inspector provides insight, in graphical form, into what triggered the status indicator of selected telemetry data to appear as green, yellow, or red.
