It is now possible to share dashboards directly from the web interface. It is possible to share dashboards as either links to the web interface or as a printer friendly PDF
It is also possible to generate a printer friendly PDF for download to your local computer.
New Widgets
Network Latency Widget
Multiple Ping and traceroute measurements can now be compared for single locations as well as across multiple locations.
AutoSteps Status Widget
To monitor the status of AutoSteps script execution a new widget has been added to provide an intuitive overview.
Miscellaneous improvements
- Export from graphs in the classic web interface in full resolution has been increased from 33 hours to 45 days.
Browser Support
This version is supported in both Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 as well as Google Chrome.
We recommend using Google Chrome when accessing PerformanceGuard, as this browser is much faster than Internet Explorer 11. Microsoft Edge can be used but is not officially supported and thus no bugs related to this browser alone will be fixed.
