Device Reimport Options | Managing device upgrades IRT.

Today, when we are doing device management and we identify when device hardware has changed, we must reimport the device into the solution. That process today requires us to add the device to the deletion queue, wait for deletion, then readd via c...

Enhancing Maintenance mode bug

When someone puts 1 device into maintenance mode it only shows the first 6 digits of the device name. However, many clients have similar long naming conventions and you canno't differentiate between devices with the same 6 digit prefix.

flow de-duplication within DI

Flow duplication is a big issue when reporting and the same flow records are sent from different flow exporters (routers that the traffic transits). It's not easy to define groups or select specific devices for reporting, particularly when there a...
