NetXMS Support Forum

We finally published NetXMS version 6.0. It is major release with lot of changes. Most notable changes are:

- Integrated AI assistant and AI agent
- AI-powered anomaly detection
- Built-in basic incident management
- Legacy UI is finally dropped
- Data collection now uses millisecond timestamps, allowing multiple values per second

Important notice: database upgrade will convert timestamps for collected data into milliseconds, and that can take significant amount of time, so plan upgrade accordingly.
