We are pleased to announce that the Dynamic Application Builder v1.4 PowerPack has been released for the following 3 versions: Dynamic Application Builder 1.4 - Windows Dynamic Application Builder 1.4 - Intel MacOS Dynamic Application Builder 1.4 - M1 MacOS The downloads for the 3 versions listed above can be found on the Support Portal under the PowerPack filename: https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/release-version/aBu4z000000TNdDCAW/dynamic-application-builder The Dynamic Application Builder v1.4 PowerPack includes the following features: Enhancements and Issues Addressed The following enhancements and addressed issues are included in version 1.4.0 of the "Dynamic Application Builder": You can now create and export Performance Dynamic Applications and collection objects. You can now choose from four different Dynamic Application types from the Define Dynamic Application step of the Dynamic Application Builder: Snippet Configuration Snippet Framework Configuration Snippet Performance Snippet Framework Performance The Dynamic Application Builder now uses the "Low-code Tools" PowerPack v104 when testing the Snippet Framework. Additionally, when exporting Dynamic Applications to SL1, they will be aligned to the LowCode Tools v104 execution environment if it is present on the target SL1 system. If it is not present, the Dynamic Application will attempt to align to the version 103, 102, and 101 execution environments in that order. Removed the auto-generated ID field when generating snippet arguments, as the ID field is no longer used with the current version of the Snippet Framework. Addressed an issue with the credential and Dynamic Application tables where long entries caused the grid to expand past the screen width. ScienceLogic does not recommend exporting the "Snippet Framework" Dynamic Application types to SL1 versions prior to 12.6.0. The Dynamic Application Builder will now check for the SL1 version, and a warning will display if you attempt to export to a version earlier than 12.6.0. Please refer to the Dynamic Application Builder v1.4 PowerPack File Details in the PowerPacks section of the Support Portal for all information pertaining to the Dynamic Application Builder v1.4 PowerPack Support Status, Minimum SL1 Version, Solution Information, and Pricing Information.

Hello Fellow ScienceLogic guru's, Business services are quickly becoming our go to links to send executives, service owners and stakeholders in order to keep an eye on applications and services that they are responsible for or reliant on. Over the past year it has increased more and more as we get better at building business services and our internal / external customers want more out of them. To make business services a one stop solves everything solutions for people looking for a high level view of their services and applications we would like to see compliance brought into the page in some way. Showing devices which have security vulnerability's and risks if you had external customers you may want to build them a different business service to look at if this information is not something you want shared but internally this becomes a real risk and would highlight when maintaining an application is / or is not taking place. I was hoping to get other customers thoughts on this, so please drop a reply if your company would find this helpful as well. This is not an Idea,, just a place to share thoughts and use cases. Thanks Jason KeckSkylar One Ibiza 12.3.9 Release Notification

Thank you, Release ManagementSkylar Automation v3.3.0 and Skyautoctl v2.9.0 are Released
Hello, We are pleased to announce the release of Skylar Automation platform v3.3.0 and the Skylar Automation skyautoctl Command Line Utility v2.9.0. You can download these releases from here: https://support.sciencelogic.com/s/release-version/aBuVL00000019Vt0AI/skylar-automation-33 Skylar Automation (formerly PowerFlow) version 3.3.0 rebrands PowerFlow to Skylar Automation, rebrands powerflowcontrol (pfctl) to skyautocontrol, updates the user interface of the SyncPacks page, and addresses multiple issues. Features PowerFlow is now Skylar Automation. With this release, ScienceLogic has rebranded PowerFlow to Skylar Automation. You will notice this rebranding throughout the platform. This change, as well as similar branding changes to the other products offered by ScienceLogic, reflects ScienceLogic's commitment to delivering intelligence that accelerates outcomes through service-centric observability, AI-driven operations, and intelligent automation. For more information, see the ScienceLogic website (https://sciencelogic.com/platform/overview). The powerflowcontrol (pfctl) command-line utility has been rebranded to skyautocontrol (skyautoctl) as part of the rebrand from PowerFlow to Skylar Automation. All of the older pfctl and iservicecontrol commands still function. Updated the user interface of the SyncPacks page in Skylar Automation to improve clarity around the installed version of SyncPacks: Updated the Active Version column to Installed Version Updated the Change Active Version option in the Actions menu to Change Installed Version Skylar Automation v3.3.0 includes package updates to improve security and system performance. Among other things, these updates address critical vulnerability CVE-2025-49844. Updated Skylar Automation to prevent search engines from indexing Skylar Automation systems by default, improving system privacy and reducing the risk of external exposure. Updated the Redis service to Redis 7.4.6. The following images are included in this release of Skylar Automation: registry.scilo.tools/sciencelogic/sa-api:rhel3.3.0 registry.scilo.tools/sciencelogic/sa-couchbase:6.6.0-15 registry.scilo.tools/sciencelogic/sa-dex:2.37.1-12 egistry.scilo.tools/sciencelogic/sa-worker:rhel3.3.0 registry.scilo.tools/sciencelogic/sa-gui:3.3.0 registry.scilo.tools/sciencelogic/sa-pypi:6.3.1-16 registry.scilo.tools/sciencelogic/sa-rabbit:3.8.35-8 registry.scilo.tools/sciencelogic/sa-redis:7.4.6-0 Issues Addressed The following issues were addressed in this release: Improved stability when using the broker_load_from_backend feature. Skylar Automation steprunner services now handle missing task bodies in Redis more effectively. If a task's payload has been evicted from Redis, the worker will mark the task as failed instead of hanging. This keeps the worker healthy and allows other tasks in the queue to process normally. (Cases: 00554106, 00554534) In some Dex OIDC connector configurations used for Skylar Automation authentication, the email claim may not be provided. Previously, this caused endpoints that relied on the current user identity to fail, showing 500 errors. Now, when the email is missing, Skylar Automation uses the username to identify the user. This ensures widgets, favorites, and related features work correctly by consistently associating data with the authenticated user, even when the email claim is unavailable. (Case: 00524073) Updated the Skylar Automation backup application to clean up the staging directories inside the steprunner containers and to ensure that if the backup fails to copy to a remote system, the temporary files do not hang in the system. (Case: 00513115) Improved error handling to provide more information about why the graphical user interface is not displaying the SystemHealth diagram after logging into Skylar Automation. (Case: 00467441) Addressed an issue that prevented the "Timed Removal" application from running. Thank you, Release ManagementMicrosoft: Hyper-V Server 103 PowerPack Release Notification
