New Features

The following are new features introduced in this software release:

Description
Marketplace: When an application release containing the special variable named EDGE_API_TOKEN is deployed to a Litmus Edge instance, the Litmus Edge will generate a token (REST API Key) named MPC-APP and pass it to the application release's respective Docker container.
Integration: Prometheus and a Prometheus Alert Manager is now supported.
Network: Added a new DNS tab, enabling you to configure the DNS servers that Litmus Edge Manager connects to.

Enhancements and Features

The following features and enhancements are included in this software release:

Description
Litmus Edge Manager instances are now more compatible with Load Balancers. Previously certain Litmus Edge requests would be dropped.
Dashboard: VM Time has been reworded to System Time. A warning in Admin Console > Dashboard will be shown if System Time in and your Local time differs by 10 minutes. Large numbers in Admin Console > Dashboard have been altered to be easier to read.
Licenses: Whitespace is no longer allowed while entering a license key. When Site license is chosen in Admin Console > Settings > Licenses, Available Licenses will no longer be displayed.
Edge Devices: Redesigned the user interface for child DeviceHub devices. When Forward Events is enabled, and the connection with a Litmus Edge is lost, a more detailed error message is now displayed. Parameterized templates can now be successfully downloaded from Admin Console > Edge Devices > Edge Device Templates. When searching for a password policy (in Admin Console > Edge Devices > Edge Password Policies) with a keyword, only matching policy names will be displayed. Previously, both matching policy names and matching policy descriptions were displayed. When adding a new Edge Remote network (in Admin Console > Edge Devices > Edge Remote Networks), all IPv4 addresses that are in the format 0.xxx.xxx.xxx/8 are no longer allowed.
Applications: When you include the EDGE_API_TOKEN parameter in an application release deployment, the parameter will be read only.
Software: Applying software updates for Litmus Edge 3.5.0+ is now more reliable.
Company Settings: When adding a new user, a warning will be displayed when SMTP is not set.
Data Lifecycle: In cases where there are multiple versions of the same archived file, version numbers have been added to the file name. Temporary files are now created in the /var/lib/lem/tmp directory. Free diskspace space limit can now only be set between 0%-50%.
Network: When DHCP is disabled, the interface will now require at least one IP address with a gateway.
Support: Concurrent support bundle downloads are no longer allowed. When support bundle generation fails, an error message will now be displayed. Support bundles now also contain a configuration DB dump.
Network configuration MTU is now configurable.

Resolved Issues

The following issues that existed in one or more previous releases have been resolved:

Description
Login: Fixed an issue where incorrect System Time prevented logins.
