- Added settings page to customize Mission Portal. Available options:
Color schema, logo, additional text on the login page. (ENT-4914)
- cf-hub can now detect when multiple hosts are using the same hostkey
This is done using the new cookie protocol. Randomized cookies
are exchanged during each report collection, and if there is a
mismatch with the previous cookie, it will show up as alerts in
Mission Portal. The health indicator "Hosts likely using the same
identity" is now using this system. The previous duplicate host
detection system was done entirely in Database and had more false
positives.
- Admins can now delete hosts which are missing reporting data (ENT-4942)
- Hosts that have not reported yet are no longer filtered out when RBAC
is disabled (ENT-4712)

- Hub now properly logs an error if license counts are exceeded
(ENT-5080)
- cf-hub query report collection timeout is now customizable
--query-timeout command line option, and query_timeout
constraint in body hub control can be used to customize the
timeout. Previously it was a hardcoded 30 seconds. (ENT-3153)
- Made cf-hub more robust against clients reporting bad timestamps
(ENT-5056)
- Empty host names in 'cf-hub --query -H' are now skipped (ENT-4866)
- Removed unnecessary line endings in reporting protocol. These showed up

The Monitoring module in Mission Portal is really data from measurement
type promises. Monitoring brings to mind alerting, which we handle as a
subset of our Dashboards. This name change clarifies the content.
(ENT-5023)
- Changed session lock to allow parallel HTTP requests. Previously, the
session library would create a lock and not allow new requests until
the current one is not finished. This lock was introduced to avoid
data overwriting when two or more parallel requests are writing into
the same session variable, but this doesn't happen in our code
(ENT-4860)

If csv files in /var/cfengine/state/ (generated by agent runs)
were corrupted, cf-serverd would crash while reading them. (ENT-4505)
- Fixed an issue with error handling in cf-hub delta queries
cf-hub will now attempt a rebase if it cannot obtain the
last report timestamp. This change only affects scheduled
runs, not when invoked with `--query delta` from command
line. This also means that hosts which are not present in
status table will be rebased (not delta from 0). (ENT-4319)
- Fixed an issue with manual cf-hub delta queries

(ENT-4654)
- Renamed "IP Naming" to "Report Collection" (ENT-4471)
- Renamed the "Status" table to "__Status" with RBAC-checked view
(ENT-4331)
- Renamed Host count widget to Newly bootstrapped hosts (ENT-4649)
- Simplified error handling and error messages for failed report collection
(ENT-4495)
- Switched perms of various temporary files in state to 0600
These files were created with 0644 permissions, and then
repaired in policy. However, since they are deleted / recreated
periodically, it causes INFO noise. Safer and better user
experience to create them with restricted permissions to
begin with.
Affected files:
* `$(sys.statedir)/context.cache.tmp`
* `$(sys.statedir)/variable.cache.tmp`
* `$(sys.statedir)/diff/*.diff`
* `$(sys.statedir)/previous_state/*.cache`
(ENT-4601)
- Updated links to postgresql docs to match running version (ENT-4436)
- Updated role database entry on POST requests instead of deletion and creation
This change was made to avoid deleting related to role entries because previously while role updating the database entry is deleted and recreated.
(ENT-4483)
- HTTPS protocol is now used in CLI commands (ENT-4361)
- Fixed license count for hosts with duplicate entries in lastseen DB
(ENT-4595)
- Variable values can no longer be NULL in reporting
The reporting system doesn't distinguish between NULL
and empty string. Previously, variables with value
"" would show up in psql as NULL. This can be
cumbersome when writing queries, and doesn't
accurately reflect the variable value in policy.
NULLs are now converted to empty string before
insert. This change only affects 2 tables in
postgresql: "variables" and "variableslog".
This change can trigger a rebase if you already
have reporting data with variablevalue=NULL.
(ENT-4093)
- cf-hub now validates that variable types are within range (ENT-4507)
Packaging changes:
- Added ubuntu 18 to the list of build platforms (ENT-4041)

- Redis database and cf-consumer are no longer used
All reports are applied to postgres from cf-hub worker threads.
Logging and measurements have been updated to reflect this change.
Reporting statuses (success, failure, rebase, retry) are no longer
duplicated in these two databases. All statuses are stored and read

The old keywords are deprecated, but still valid. In addition, a new keyword
"acl_inherit" controls inheritance behavior on Windows. This feature does not exist on
Unix platforms.

- report querying(utilizes underlying reporting engine)
- user management
- can be used with REST API v1 in parallel
- Configurable hostnames(host/system identifier) in reports

- Sendmail is installed by default on the hub - required for emailing of reports
- 32-bit hub installations no longer supported
- Created a variable update_policy.mongodb_dir, for cases where MongoDB
should not run out of /var/cfengine/state (could grow to tens of gigabytes).
- Removed commercial_customer class, as it was unused in internal policies.
Please use enterprise_edition instead if you used this in your policies.
- New performance report events: DBPurgeHostsAll, DBMaintenance,
DBMaintenanceTimestampsSingleHost, DBCacheCompliance, DBReportCollectAll.
- License verification is made more robust by not relying on the last-seen
database anymore. This means you do not need to bootstrap a client to
verify the license. See the cf-key --install-license option.
2.2.0
- More diagnostics on report collection from cf-hub. Logging more
useful information in cf-hub -l, measuring total collection time
in benchmarks report, under id "ReportCollectAll".
- Fixed issue where client would show as green in the Mission Portal when no
data was received, e.g. due to access or license error at client.
Now correctly shows as blue in these cases.

to localhost mongodb. Now there is one connection per
cf-hub run (max 50), before it was three per client.

to removal of autocomplete feature.
- Upgraded mongod from version 1.8.2 to 2.0.4, which increases
efficiency on concurrency and reduces memory usage.
- New function hostswithclass() that generates a list of hosts in a given class
on the hub.
- The bundled failsafe.cf policy now has trustkey=false to avoid IP spoofing
attacks in default policy
2.1.0
- New interface with interactive graphs on Nova hub.
- User management on hub.
- Allowing TAB in file diff report. Better handling
of large diffs and attempts to diff binaries.
- Support for adding notes to all hosts and reports.
- Support for policy staging environments.
- Nova reports can be exported to file and imported manually
using cf-report -x and cf-report -i.
- Faster collection of monitoring (vitals) data due to
new protocol and data structure.
- Long-term storage (one year) of diff and changes reports.
- The variables report got a last-seen column. Now variables
are stored in the hub for a longer time like classes,
and not overwritten on every update.
- The report of reports-promises are shown in the promise repaired log
in the Mission Portal.
- New option cf-hub --cache, recreates the cache data needed
by the web interface.
- Only showing the last seen host name and ip address when
listing hosts and on the host page.
- Reliability improvements, especially when querying
the variables report.
2.0.2
- Much faster report querying.
- Allows to specify age interval when querying promise not
kept and repaired.
- Promiser conflict identifcation.
- Built with Cfengine Community Edition 3.1.4.
2.0.1
- Fixed promise query of not kept/promise repaired logs.
1.2.0:
- Windows Event Logs include output_prefix if set, and which component
reported the event. The verbosity of event logs have been reduced
by not including promise kept and repaired events, this can now be
tuned with action.log_level.
- Take out network communications from total state calculation,
as it gets counted twice.
1.1.2:
- Encryption problems fixed in Community Edition.
- Built with Cfengine Community Edition 3.0.4p3.
1.1.0:
- Regular expressions in file paths supported on Windows by using
forward slash as path separator.
- CPU utilization report on Windows.
Users logged in report on Windows.
- On the Windows cf-serverd, requests for /var/cfengine are
translated to $(sys.workdir)\Cfengine, and path separators are
automatically adjusted ("/" becomes "\"). This yields support for
more platform-independent promises and allows for automatic
copying of reports from Windows clients to the policy server.
- Scale on graphs in the Knowledge Map, and different background
color gives more readability.
- Special functions added for accessing remote classes for distributed cooperation.
1.0.0:
- Reports added to cf-report for compliance, setuid, file_changes etc.
Added csv format also
- Automating topic map integration of policy, with impact analysis
using promisee and builds_on promises.
- Literal string lookup in server.
- Database SQL and registry functions added. Verification and sanity
checking of SQL database table structure. Create and destroy
databases convergently.
- Access control list support for Linux.
- Powerful and lightweight promises for Customizable monitoring and
system discovery promises added to cf-monitord.
- Longterm memory for 3 year trend analysis.
