Motadata Release Notes Version 8.2.4

Release Date: May 14, 2026

What's New?​

Rancher Kubernetes Cluster Support Added in APM​

With this release, APM monitoring now supports Kubernetes clusters provisioned and managed via Rancher. Users can onboard Rancher-managed clusters using the existing Kubernetes integration model, gaining full APM visibility including traces, service performance, and inter-service dependencies for applications running within those clusters.

AWS EKS Fargate Support Added in APM​

With this release, APM monitoring now supports applications running on AWS EKS Fargate for serverless Kubernetes environments. This extends APM visibility to workloads where node-level DaemonSet deployments are not possible, providing service traces, performance metrics, and dependency mapping for serverless pod execution environments.

APM Ruby Instrumentation in Docker Environments Introduced​

With this release, APM now supports native OTel instrumentation for Ruby applications running in Docker environments. Teams can instrument Ruby services deployed in containers to collect distributed traces and performance spans, extending APM coverage to Ruby-based workloads in containerized deployments.

APM Compare View for Business Services Introduced​

With this release, a new Compare view in APM allows users to place two Business Services side by side and independently select time ranges for each. The comparison surfaces performance regressions and release differences at a glance, accelerating post-deploy validation and cross-environment troubleshooting at the Business Service level.

Heatmap Support Introduced for APM and RUM​

With this release, heatmap visualization is now available for APM and RUM domains. Users can create heatmaps using existing APM and RUM counters including LCP, FCP, response time, and error rate enabling real-time severity-based visual assessment of application performance and user experience without any additional telemetry configuration.

GCP GKE Monitoring Added​

With this release, Motadata ObserveOps introduces monitoring support for Google Cloud Platform Kubernetes Engine (GCP GKE). Users can discover GKE clusters from selected regions and zones through the Google Cloud Platform discovery profile, and monitor cluster-level, node-level, and pod-level health and performance metrics using dedicated out-of-the-box templates.

AWS Backup Monitoring Support Added​

With this release, Motadata ObserveOps adds monitoring support for AWS Backup. Users can discover Backup Vaults from a selected AWS region, provision them through the AWS Cloud discovery profile, and monitor backup job health, recovery points, protected resources, and backup plan compliance using dedicated entity-level templates and KPI dashboards.

Synology RS1221RP+ Storage Monitoring Added​

With this release, monitoring support for Synology RS1221RP+ storage systems has been added. Users can discover Synology RS devices through the Storage Discovery Profile by selecting Synology as the vendor and RS1221RP+ as the device model and monitor storage health and performance using dedicated templates.

Log Pattern Tab Added in Alert Log Correlation​

A new Log Pattern tab has been added to the Alert Log Correlation view, consistent with the existing Log Pattern capability in APM correlation and Log Search. Users can now surface recurring log patterns within correlated alert logs directly from the Alert module, accelerating root-cause identification without switching between modules.

RUM Policy View Enhanced with Severity Indicators and Alert Heatmap​

RUM policy views now display consistent severity color indicators across all policy records, making it easier to assess alert impact at a glance. Business Service associations are surfaced in the RUM policy list, and the alert heatmap now includes RUM grouping support, consolidating real-user monitoring observability into a single actionable view.

APM Correlation Now Available for Directly Discovered Databases​

Databases monitored through direct discovery are now linked to application traces and service topology in APM. Previously, directly discovered database monitors were treated as standalone entities with no connection to APM correlation, breaking end-to-end visibility between application services and their database dependencies.

SNMP Trap Listener Port Reuse Across Multiple Profiles Introduced​

With this release, the same port can now be reused across multiple SNMP Trap Listener Profiles with proper validation to prevent conflicts. Each profile can define its own SNMP version, credentials, and community string on a shared port, supporting real-world enterprise deployments where multiple SNMP configurations operate on a single network port.

Tag Macros for Object and Instance Tags Introduced​

With this release, users can reference object-level and instance-level tag values as macros in alert messages, notification templates, and policy configurations. Tag macros resolve dynamically at runtime, enabling device and instance context — such as environment, owner, or region tags — to be included in notifications without manual value mapping.

NCCM Enable-Password Prompt Pattern Now Configurable in Credential Profiles​

NCCM Credential Profiles now support a configurable enable-password prompt pattern, with a fallback to the standard industry-default when no custom value is defined. This resolves config operation failures on network devices that use non-standard enable-password prompt text, without affecting devices that follow standard behavior.

Per-User Session Timeout Introduced​

With this release, administrators can configure session timeout durations at the individual user level across all user sources — local, LDAP, RADIUS, and SSO. Session timeout settings are preserved during LDAP sync operations, closing a security and compliance gap where all sessions previously followed a single system-wide default.

Topology Export in XML Format Introduced​

With this release, the Topology module now supports exporting the current topology view as a structured XML file. The export preserves node metadata, device relationships, and link information, enabling backup and audit workflows, integration with external systems such as CMDBs and network tools, and offline analysis.

HTTP Method Filters Introduced in APM API Endpoint Summary​

With this release, the APM API Endpoint Summary tab now includes quick filter buttons for HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS. Users can isolate method-specific traffic with a single click, significantly reducing the time needed to investigate endpoint behavior and error distributions by HTTP verb.
