New and Changed Features

Configure pre-action and post-action tasks in rules

Starting with Paragon Insights Release 4.3.0, you can configure pre-action and post-action tasks to execute action engine workflows in rules. Pre-action and post-action tasks are configurations applied to devices in device groups through playbooks. Both pre-action and post-action tasks automate the execution of action engine workflows. Use pre-action tasks to make Paragon Insights execute action engine workflows at the start of playbook instantiation. With post-action tasks, you can use the action engine workflows to remove the additional configurations in devices that you added through the pre-action tasks.

[See Paragon Insights Rules and Playbooks.]

Track IFA devices on the Ingest Settings page

Starting with Paragon Insights Release 4.3.0, you can assign the device name and device ID of the Inband Flow Analyzer (IFA) devices on the Settings > Ingest > IFA Devices page. Paragon Insights maps the device name to the respective device ID and displays the device name when you monitor the end-to-end path of IFA devices in a flow.

Enhancements to ease the use of the Resources page

Starting with Paragon Insights Release 4.3.0, you can perform the following additional tasks on the Resources page:

• Upload, download, and clone resources.

• Rearrange the sequence of the configured dependency terms. Paragon Insights executes terms in the order in which you arrange them.

• View a visual representation of the dependency configuration before you save the configuration.

• Use the reset icon to restore the visual panel display to the default view.

• Change the position of resources on the visual panel and retain the changes when you navigate out of the Resources page.

• Save filters as favorites.

Display a timeline view of device and network KPI data

Starting with Paragon Insights Release 4.3.0, you can view a timeline of device and network KPI data (time inspector view) for DEVICE and NETWORK entity types. In earlier releases, Paragon Insights supports the time inspector view only for the DEVICE GROUP entity type.

Upgrade license key to new format

Starting with Paragon Insights Release 4.3.0, you must upgrade the existing license key format to the new format. You can generate a new license key by using the Juniper Agile Licensing Portal.

[See View, Add, or Delete Paragon Insights Licenses.]

View prepopulated graphs from Grafana UI

Starting with Paragon Insights Release 4.3.0, you can view prepopulated graphs for CPU usage, disk reads, disk writes, and available memory on the Grafana dashboard. You can view a prepopulated graph of one or more nodes in a cluster.
