When you move a node on the map, its position is locked so that its position is no more dynamicaly calculated based on others. You could notice a locked node based on the black stroke.

You didn't? Yes... I felt like it. And Nicolas suggested an improvement.

So now, a small lock is displayed aside the locked node, with a tooltip telling you how to unlock the node position :) The ctrl+click unlock stills work, but you can also simply click on the lock.

Cheers!

Due to remarks from Nicolas, I understand that the keyboard mapping for the free search input in the menu was not the best. So I changed:

• Pressing 'Enter' executes the search
• Pressing Shift + 'Enter' insert a new line for lisibility ;)

Even small things may deserve a post :-p For better understanding, I changed the icon in the menu that directs to Whisperer configuration.

I had introduced client identification compacting pattern to display identification in the map. It is now also applied in the grid, in the filter menu and in the HTTP global tab :)

Although very useful to select time and track data through time, timeline is difficult to understand for newcomers.

I tried something: instead of displaying what the timeline was about, you may now change what it is about! You have the ability to select the metric which is displayed in the bar chart.

Tell me what you think about it! :-)

I did it with much refactor, so adding a new metric is about .. 5 minutes work, 10 with deployment ;-) So, if you feel any missing metric there, tell me, we'll discuss it!

Now, aside sharing Whisperers, you may give rights to the users you share your whisperers with. Rights to...

• Start / stop
  • Allows the user to change Whisperer required state from RECORDING to STOPPED and reversely
• Restart
  • Allows the user to end the Whisperer, in case of issue
  • May be restarted by external watchdog
  • Not implemented yet
• Change configuration
  • Allows the user to... change configuration ;)
• Share
  • Allows the user to share the Whisperer with others
• Rights
  • Allows the user to change rights associated to a user (even his own)
• Delete the whisperer
  • Allows the user to delete the Whisperer
  • Dangerous ;)

I fixed scrolling on selects on menu. Now... it works ;-)

I activated search on request / response bodies and source tabs. Use Ctrl+F ;)

This week brings several improvements in how clients are displayed on map:

Specific color for clients​

Clients are now display in a yellow/golden color to be visually different from the servers' blue. As for the servers, the golden color is shifting to the red depending of the percentage of errors.

Show list of identifications in client tooltip (HTTP view)​

All identifications used by a client are listed in the Node tooltip on the map (up to 20).

Name clients based their identification (HTTP view)​

Clients that have only one 'identification' are displayed with their identification when their is no DNS name associated to the client. This name is compacted using a regular expression that can be customized in the settings panel.

Move clients to an external ring (option)​

When activated, a ring is drawn outside the server cluster, and all clients are migrated to it to clear the view.

You may know had filter to aggregated replicas directly from the filters list. Previously, it was only possible to do this on the map, and you could not selected several of them.

Do you want to see all instances of this and that server? This is for you!
