Current Version Release Date
V4.3.49.1 October 30th, 2024

New Features

Here's what's new in Guardian as part of the October 2024 quarterly release.

Panorama Dashboard

A new dashboard called 'Panorama' has been added to Cloudhouse Guardian (Guardian) for the purpose of simplifying data tracking and management. There are two main features as part of this release: the core dashboard and integrated Landscape Search capability. The dashboard is designed to highlight key data elements within your Guardian landscape, whether that data is pulled from one or multiple appliances. In addition, with Landscape Search you can easily search across your Guardian landscape to view and access node information, regardless of where it is stored. The Panorama dashboard offers a new user experience of Guardian, by bringing together key data sets and presenting them in one centralized location. For more information, see Panorama Dashboard V1.

External Database Capabilities

You can now use Guardian with an external PostgreSQL database. Previously, Guardian relied on a database being run in the same location as the Guardian instance itself. For more information, see Connect Guardian to an External Database.

Freshservice Integration

A Freshservice integration with Guardian is now available for you to automatically create Freshservice records after certain events take place. Creating Freshservice records allows you to identify changes, assess risks, and take action on problematic issues. Additionally, you can configure a node synchronization job that runs at a set interval to ensure the nodes you see in Guardian are kept up-to-date with what's present in Freshservice. For more information, see Freshservice Integration.
