Hello, We are pleased to announce the Restorepoint 5.6 20250827 release, which addressed the following issues: Updated the default Regex search buffer size to 5% of the available memory on the appliance. Added the infinite scroll function to Restorepoint templates to prevent the user interface from freezing when users created or edited large templates. (Case: 00521648) Addressed an issue that caused the Disabled checkbox on the Device Details tab (Devices > Device List) to scroll through dates erratically when selected and that prevented it from being unselected. (Cases: 00525208; 00540046) Addressed an issue that caused a command schedule to trigger all the commands for selected devices at the same time. Addressed another issue in which the retention policy was implemented incorrectly after running multi-device command schedules. (Case: 00528316) Migrated the "Configuration Changes" report from the old user interface (Information > Reports > Old UI Reports) into the current user interface (Information > Reports). Thank you, Release ManagementAzure German Portal SQL API deprecation
Hello all, We will be working to evaluate and update the API call versions used in the Azure PowerPack later this year. However, there is one API call that is being deprecated by Azure 10/31/25 that may occur before the next release of the Azure PowerPack. An email was sent out by Microsoft notifying that one of the SQL API Endpoint Versions is being retired. This version of the SQL Database endpoint is only used for customer’s using the Germany Portal, all other portals (Commercial, US Gov, China) do not use this endpoint. You can find more details here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1073330/retirement-notice-azure-sql-database-2014-04-01-ap If you use the German Azure Portal, please reach out. Thanks, Taylor
Dashboard Access Key permissions
We have a new dashboard created that we are going to provide customer access to. I see an SL1 document indicating that we can create an access key to allow specific users only have access to this single dashboard. However, per the document the access key can only be assigned if the dashboard is a classic dashboard. Is there a way to do the same to a new AP2 dashboard? https://docs.sciencelogic.com/pdf/sciencelogic_custom_dash_reports_11-1-0.pdfIBM: AIX Monitoring v103 PowerPack Release Notification

CMDB Sync relation overrides
Device sync has quite a mandatory configuration option about relations between SL1 devices vs Snow CIs. We have used that a lot but now struggling with some issue we noticed this "values" section. In documentation we can see this picture: which shows that there is part "values" and it is told that they are Additional Child Class Values. Then in example we have this { "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance": { "relations": [ { "parent": "cmdb_ci_win_server", "rel_type": "Runs on::Runs", "reverse": true } ], "values": {"sys_class_name": "snow_ci_class", "instance_name": "name"} }, "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_database": { "relations": [ { "parent": "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_instance", "rel_type": "Contains::Contained by", "reverse": false } ], "values": {"sys_class_name": "snow_ci_class", "database": "name"} }, "cmdb_ci_db_mssql_server": { "relations": [ { "parent": "cmdb_ci_win_server", "rel_type": "Runs on::Runs", "reverse": true } ], "values": {"sys_class_name": "snow_ci_class", "instance_name": "name"} } } Not much told about those in documentation, so few questions arise: when do we need to use those? Seems to be optional anyway. what are the field names to be used here. In the example snow_ci_class seems to be coming from device attributes/field from SL1, then probably the key part is the snow field? Is that correct?
Azure SMB file share level monitoring
After discovering our Azure environment we noticed that by default the Storage account utilization is monitored and has events created. But we have 4 SMB file shares on a single storage account. We're looking to monitor the utilization of each file share individually to generate events. Right now we could potentially have a file share 100% utilized and not generate an event because the storage account utilization is not an issue. Is there a way to enable this without programming it into the existing power pack?This week's updates to the Doc sites at docs.sciencelogic.com
