Alert Severity

You can now set a severity level for your alerts and alert rules. An alert's severity is shown both in the ThousandEyes UI and in any notifications that you have configured, such as email.

If you have existing alert rules that predate this feature, they will be assigned the default Info severity. You can change this default to the severity level that suits your organization's needs.

For more information, see Alert Rule Severity.

Minor Enhancements

  • During a DNS trace test, it is possible that a non-authoritative answer is received from a server in the path. Previously, we returned a general error message in this situation. Now, a more descriptive error message similar to "ERROR: Received non-authoritative response (AA flag not set) to query for www.example.com. A" is returned.

2022-04-18 General Bug Fixes

  • An issue was found where, in some edge cases, Endpoint Agents were able to fire alerts after the organization that they were associated to had been disabled. This has been resolved.

  • An issue was found where the alert count wasn't being passed correctly via the report and dashboard APIs, and was instead always returning a 'No Data' response. This has been fixed, and the APIs now pass the correct number of alerts present in the appropriate widget.

  • An issue has been resolved that was preventing the Endpoint Agents drill down filter from loading in report and dashboard widgets.

2022-04-18 Endpoint Agent Client version 1.108.2 Bug Fixes

  • An issue has been resolved where the Endpoint Agent was generating test data for an application after disabling the corresponding automated session test.
