New Features

Prototypes

We have introduced the ability to create prototypes for assets, asset properties, and events. Prototypes allow for rapid creation of new assets, asset properties, and events with predefined settings. These assets, generated from a prototype, can be managed collectively, streamlining the management of large quantities of similar assets, along with their properties and events.

    • Enhanced performance for bulk measurement updates and event processing through batched updates.
  • Asset and Property Management:

    • Introduced a datatype and description field for asset properties, ensuring that the associated measurement matches the asset property’s datatype.
  • Collector Enhancements:

    • Modified token invalidation to occur 24 hours after generating a new one, instead of immediately.
    • Added detailed collector connection information.
    • Provided preliminary support for updating the collector state directly from the historian.
    • Implemented support for migrating collector settings.
  • User Interface and Experience:

    • Improved consistency and alignment of buttons across forms and modals.
    • Enhanced the measurement data preview feature.
    • Improved clarity in login error messages.
    • Added an option in event manual entry forms to remember the last entered manual entry timestamp, rather than defaulting to the current time.
  • Audit Log Management:

    • Added a setting to periodically remove old audit logs (disabled by default).
  • Measurement Improvements:

    • Introduced a new measurement filter for datatypes.
    • Limit changing of the measurement datatype to not conflict with references

v5.2.0

Released on 04/11/2022

As of v5.2.0 a read only user is mandatory for all time series databases. If this user has not been configured in the previous versions we urge you to do so for the correct functioning of the Historian. Until a read only user is set up correctly you might experience problems with the event module, calculations and the measurement data preview in the frontend. All other functions such as data collection will continue normal operation. After the read only users have been set up all functionality will resume.
The databases which require attention are marked red in the time series databases overview.
As of v5.2.0 the internal influx database _internal_factry is onboarded with a retention policy of 12 weeks in order to reduce disk usage. We recommend customers running earlier versions to alter the retention policy of the influx database _internal_factry to 12 weeks. You can find instruction here on how to achieve this.
