- Option for blacklisting network device drivers
- Option for switching SNMP probing during configuration poll into single OID per request mode
- Automatic agent certificate renewal
- Value ranges in NXSL switch/case statement
- Explicit call of library functions in NXSL without "use" statement
- New attributes "instanceColumns" and "instanceColumnIndexes" in NXSL class "Table"
- New methods "readWebServiceList" and "readWebServiceParameter" in NXSL class "Node"
- New methods "applyTemplate" and "removeTemplate" in NXSL class "DataCollectionTarget"
- New NXSL functions: GetThreadPoolNames, sqrt
- New NXSL class "Template" that represents template object
- NXSL arrays can be implicitly converted to strings
- Implemented instance discovery method "Agent Table"
- Implemented instance discovery method "Windows Performance Counters"
- Added option for discarding collected performance data when database writer queue grows beyond limit

        NX-1828 (Windows agent returns error for parameters System.FirewallProduct.* if built-in Windows Firewall is used)
        NX-1830 (Some events sent by agent may be lost if multiple events sent almost simultaneously)
        NX-1831 (Template path in node data collection configuration is incorrect)
        NX-1834 (Add NXSL function "sqrt")
        NX-1836 (Access attributes of template in auto-bind script)

Important note for TimescaleDB users

Because of idata/tdata table structure changes (timestamp column type changed from integer to timestamptz) database upgrade procedure divided into two parts. During offline (usual) schema upgrade old tables renamed by adding prefix v33_5_ (for example, idata_sc_default becomes v33_5_idata_sc_default) and new empty tables are created. You can start server afterwards and it will be fully operational, but without historical data. After that you should run nxdbmgr online-upgrade to migrate old data to new tables. This process could be time consuming and potentially require twice as much disk space as database normally uses. You may fully or partially truncate historical data tables before upgrade if you prefer to do fast upgrade without keeping historical data.

Best regards,
Victor

If anyone experienced issues with unavailable login screen in web UI - it should be fixed in version 3.3.283, now available for download.

Hello,

when using MsSql database, does the upgrade also create new tables that result double the usage ?

Victor Kirhenshtein

No, this warning is only for TimescaleDB.

Hi Victor,

thanks for the upgrade  :)

Do you have any plan to create Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa packages? An "apt-get update" currently ends up in a HTTP 404 response....
