Some quick notes before we get to tonight's new features. First, a net-nerd news flash: ![](/files/-M5xtUTaz4_2vGL42kSX) Judging from the weather reports, we've hit the depths of winter in the northern hemisphere. If you need a break from frigid temperatures, or if you're in the southern hemisphere and laboring under heatwaves, then consider a quick trip to a place that has the same weather, year-round: San Francisco! NANOG 75 runs from February 17th to the 20th, and is happening in the home of ThousandEyes' HQ, a short walk from the site of NANOG. Hope to see you there! In ThousandEyes blog news, we are very pleased to have a pair of great guest bloggers. First up: John Todd, the Executive Director of public DNS service Quad9. John favors us with his experience using ThousandEyes, in [Discovering Latent DNS Issues: A Quad9 Case Study](https://blog.thousandeyes.com/discovering-latent-dns-issues-quad-9-case-study/). And joining John is Jonathan Lewis, the VP of Product Marketing at cloud service provider NS1. His post, [Modern DNS and the Value of One Second](https://blog.thousandeyes.com/modern-dns-and-the-value-of-one-second/), dovetails nicely with John's, and provides a great overview of the advanced capabilities of DNS which enable a fast online experience. Thanks, guys! Continuing with the DNS theme, our Senior Product Marketing Manager, Angelique Medina, gave us one post for [Surviving DNS Flag Day](https://blog.thousandeyes.com/surviving-dns-flag-day/), and a second to look forward to trends in IT infrastructure for the coming year, in [Five Infrastructure Trends to Watch for in 2019](https://blog.thousandeyes.com/five-infrastructure-trends-to-watch-for-2019/). Spoiler weather report: clouds get bigger, clouds get cloudier. And now for the news of features... ## Cloud Agents Welcome to a new IPv6 Cloud Agent in Strasbourg, France. Bienvenue! ## Mandatory TLS access for Appliances Web access for management of Virtual Appliances and Physical Appliances now require a secure SSL/TLS browser connection (i.e. encrypted connection on port 443/TCP using an https\:// URL). Connections to the unencrypted http\:// URL will now be redirected to the https\:// URL. Note that by default the secure connection uses a self-signed certificate, which will cause standard browsers to display security warnings. To prevent warnings and ensure secure access, customers can upload a valid server certificate via the **SSL Settings** tab of the web management interface. The interface also allows users to create a certificate signing request. For more information, check out the ThousandEyes Knowledge Base article [Secure access to ThousandEyes Appliances](https://success.thousandeyes.com/PublicArticlePage?articleIdParam=kA044000000XofqCAC_Secure-access-to-ThousandEyes-Appliances). ## Test filters The Test Settings page now has display filters, similar to other settings pages. ![](/files/-M5xtUTduO8ZPCyqVWxP) Available filters include Name, Type, Target, Test Label and Enabled. ## Endpoint Agents in the Agent Status widget In Dashboards, the Agent Status widget can now display Endpoint Agents, using similar iconography to Enterprise Agents. ![](/files/-M5xtUTfnbfmG6_Hs2JW) The widget can be configured to display Endpoint Agents individually or grouped by one or more Endpoint Agent Labels, and can be configured to filter similarly. ![](/files/-M5xtUThTsjiL7ZVkgql) ## Minor enhancements & bug fixes Here are the minor enhancements and bug fixes in this week's release: * Added the .pdf extension to Reports which are downloaded as PDF files * Added support for unicode characters in Reports which are downloaded as PDF files ## Support coverage change From February 22nd to March 3rd, ThousandEyes will have a minor reduction from 24 x 7 support coverage, in conjunction with our annual all-company event.
