Doubt and questions about Global Manager
Hi to all, we configured a Global Manager in our QA env for 2 stacks but there is something that it's not really clear to me. The global manager is not capable to manage PP on the stacks (in AP2 UI there is any menu entry for PP), is not capable to retrieve device groups defined on the stacks, is not capable to retrieve device class from the stack, is not possible create device groups and add devices monitored by the stacks. My first question is: how can we create a dashboard that can filter panels based on custom device group?Nexus Top Contributors & Experts October 2025

Skylar AI Platform: Additional exportable data types and easier service connections for exporting data Topology: Enhanced topology options. Additional new features and enhancements can be found in the release notes. Before deploying Juneau 12.5.1, please read the following notes: Warning: If you are upgrading to 12.5.1 from 12.1.x or 12.2.x, you must run the out-of-band script following the instruction in this KBA (https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/article/19093) BEFORE importing the upgrade bundle! Skipping this step will result in upgrade failure. Alternatively, you can upgrade to a 12.3.x release and then to 12.5.1, as this issue does not affect the 12.3.x to 12.5.1 upgrade path. All Python 2 functionality has been removed from Skylar One with this release. If you still use Python 2 for custom code, you cannot upgrade to this or any later releases until your custom code is Python 3-compatible. Be advised that you can perform upgrades from one minor version to a subsequent minor version in most cases. However, as with all updates, ScienceLogic strongly recommends that you perform such upgrades in a test environment before implementing the upgrades in production environments. The following are the validated upgrade paths for 12.5.1: 12.3.8 > 12.5.1 12.3.7 > 12.5.1 12.2.7 > 12.5.1 12.1.2 (OL8) > 12.5.1 WARNING: If you are upgrading from a version prior to 12.2.3, then after upgrading Skylar One, you must also upgrade MariaDB 10.4.x to version 10.6.21. Failure to perform this MariaDB upgrade can cause major functionality issues in Skylar One. 12.2.x and 12.3.x STIG-compliant users cannot upgrade to this release. 12.5.1 STIG is available only as an ISO. AWS deployments that are using Aurora 3 can upgrade to this release. When upgrading Skylar One to version 12.5.1, PowerPacks will be temporarily read-only until the update is complete. The Enterprise Key Management Service (EKMS) is enabled by default in 12.5.1. For additional details, please read Juneau 12.5.1 Release Notes
