Release Notes

Login Enterprise 5.14.6 (November 25, 2024)

New features

Changes/improvements

  • Download Load Test, Continuous Test, and Appliance Health charts as images (PNG, JPG, SVG) from the Virtual Appliance web interface
  • Adjust the column sizes in the Manage Test tables in the Virtual Appliance web interface
  • Configure the columns of the Load Test result table by showing, hiding, and sorting them, including new columns such as Number of Users, Test Duration, Login Window, EUX Baseline Score, EUX Steady State Score, and Connector
  • Column headers are now always visible in all tables, even when scrolling down the page
  • The navigation menu can now be expanded on the Continuous Test result page
  • More Application and Workload information is now saved in the snapshot of Application Test and Load Test runs. In addition to Application IDs and Application Group IDs, the snapshot now includes the Application Group name, Application name, and timers. This ensures that Test results remain unaffected by changes to the Application or Application Group
  • Enhanced the performance of the Application Test results page by optimizing the get Application test-runs endpoint in the Public API
  • The /v7-preview/tests (include=none) Public API endpoint now includes basic information for Connectors, Users, Launchers, and Groups, enabling the web interface to use this endpoint instead of include=connectionResources, resulting in better performance

Bug fixes

  • An exception occurs in Appliance Guard when updating Login Enterprise from an Appliance that has a wildcard certificate applied
  • The Azure Linux Agent sometimes stops working when updating from Debian 10 to Debian 12
  • The DB maintenance option in PDMenu only restarts Login Enterprise services instead of executing the DB performance task
  • The notice regarding minimum Appliance requirements for Login Enterprise upgrades does not display on XenServer
  • Script recording fails when Applications have class names, names, or automation IDs that contain brackets or other special characters in their XPath
  • The popup for adding Tests to an environment does not have a scrollbar
  • Requesting a large number of Application Tests via the Public API or web interface can overwhelm the Login Enterprise container with API calls. This exhausts all connections to the internal database and eventually causes the containers to crash

Technical notes

  • The Login Enterprise web interface has migrated from using two environment endpoints via the internal API to the existing public API endpoints
  • Upgraded container OS versions: Ingress from HAProxy 2.4.1 to 3.0.5, RabbitMQ from 3.8.2 to 4.0.3, Postgres from 13.3 to 13.16-bookworm, Portainer from 1.23.1 to 2.21.4, and UI from Nginx 1.20 to 1.27-bookworm

  • When the engine runs while there is no environment configured 4 identical events would be generated
  • The timeout on the START(); command in the engine was fixed to 45 seconds instead of the configured amount
  • When disabling the schedule or multiple sessions the launcher would end all of them but the launcher UI would only update 1 of the running sessions with the “Ended” label

  • The web server would crash when the total login time exceeded the threshold

Login PI 3.1.34 (November 6, 2018)

This is the first generally available release of Login PI Release 3. 

What's new - There are lots of new things in Release 3... but here are some highlights.

  • Installation: Login PI is now delivered as a Virtual Appliance. There is no installation necessary and it only takes minutes before you are up and running. 
  • Logons and Applications: Logons and application scripts are now run and timed independently. You can easily turn on logons and whichever application workflows you'd like to run.
  • Application Workflows: Say goodbye to the workload script that has all of the applications rolled up into one. Now applications can be added via the Web UI. For deeper application insights each application workflow can be customized in Visual Studio using our brand-new Login VSI workflow commands. Snippets are provided to make customizing super easy. Syntax highlighting, Intellisense and Autocompletion makes it even easier. All customized scripts can be uploaded using the Web UI.
  • Groups and Filtering: User Accounts and Launchers are added to a general pool, enabling a higher degree of resiliency. Accounts and Launches can also be grouped to enable more discreet segmentation per environment.
  • Dashboard: Multiple Environment Dashboard and deeper drill-down application performance and availability data
  • Launcher: The Launcher can be downloaded from the Web UI which comes with a simple installer. The Launcher now runs as an application on the desktop
  • Charts and Events
    • Hour, Day, Month, Prediction Views
    • Automated daily/monthly generation of SLA Reports

Differences between Release 2 and Release 3 (version 3.1.34)

  • Nomenclature
    • Profiles (PI2) are now called Environments (PI3)
    • Thresholds (PI2) are now called Notifications (PI3)
    • Connections (PI2) are now called Connectors (PI3)
  • Thresholds for Notifications are not automatically generated. We advise referencing your SLAs or letting the virtual user run for a day or two and looking at the baseline values before creating a threshold. 
  • Target Engine: The target engine operates very similarly to Login PI 2, however a new and less obtrusive status bar will appear. Also, new application scripts are pulled every time before they run, so if you change an application script while the virtual user is logged in you will see your changes take effect on the next application run.
  • Architecture: Login PI Release 3 uses Login VSI's next generation architecture. This is a modern Docker microservices architecture running on Debian, leveraging Microsoft .NET Core. Very scalable, reliable and secure.
  • Logon and Latency Metrics: Login PI Release 3, version 3.1.34 will not ship with Logon statistics or Protocol Latency metrics. They will be added in subsequent versions of Release 3 very soon.
  • There is no "Daily Schedule" feature in Release 3. This was sometimes used for configuring backup windows
  • Migration: Login PI 2 Data cannot be migrated to Release 3. We recommend running Login PI 2 and Login PI 3 in parallel until your data retention policy has been met with Login PI 3, after which time you can decommission or backup and archive Login PI 2.
  • Database: The Login PI 3 Virtual Appliance uses an embedded database, so an external database is not required or supported. Support for external databases will be provided in subsequent versions.
  • Because Login PI no longer installs as a Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft Event Viewer will no longer carry Login PI events. All events can be discovered via the ReSTful Web API. 
  • Login PI 3.1.34 will ship with a locally configured single administrative user. Active Directory Administrators and Read-Only users will be provided in subsequent versions. 

Licensing

  • Active and valid Login PI 2.x licenses may be used with Login PI Release 3
