Release Date: 28-July-2021

Major Features
Baseline Data and Anomaly Detection

By providing historical baseline data (raw data, calculated metrics and graphical overlays) you are able to compare current network behavior to historical norms, quickly and simply identifying unusual/anomalous behavior. For more information, see Baselining.




Authentication Update

Statseeker now offers configurable token-based authentication for file, LDAP and RADIUS authentication methods. In addition, Statseeker offers authentication through 3rd party SAML-based authentication services, see User Authentication for details.



Syslog and Server-Health Dashboards

New Syslog and Server Health dashboards are available from the Default Dashboards folder. Copy and customize these dashboards to satisfy your Syslog and Server Health monitoring needs.




Trendline Analytics Update

Additional trendline analytic options allow for quick and simple configurations of reports, dashboards and thresholds to highlight both large changes in any metric as well as gradual changes in highly variable data. For more information, see Trendline Analytics.
