What's new in Uila uObserve v5.5

We are excited to announce the availability of the latest release v5.5 for the Uila uObserve solution. Here are a few highlights of the new features in the release:

• SAML based Authentication for Uila login

With Uila uObserve, users can leverage SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) based authentication for the Uila login. SAML is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. uObserve users can choose between the Database based 2FA authentication and SAML as shown below in the Accounts Management settings page. The Uila team has verified SAML support for OKTA and Azure AD at this time.

• Multi-tenant based Service Grouping

With this new release, Managed Service Providers or similar organizations can create tenant accounts within the Uila solution to visualize the multi-tier service groupings for their customers/users. The tenant users will only be able to visualize the VMs/servers that are assigned to them. 

• New alarm: New Data Center Stats and Automated Phone/SMS Notification.

Users can now get alerted to situations where there is no connectivity observed from the Data Center to the Uila system. This can in most situations indicate Data Center outages..

• Server/Device Uptime report enhancement

The server/device uptime report has been enhanced to include the following information. 1. Addition of total number of VMs up and down at the end of report period. 2. Add VM uptime percentage for each VM. 3. Separation of VM from VM. 4. Sorting by Start Time in chronological order.
