Geneos 6.1.0
Released: 19 January 2038
This release delivers the updates for the following Geneos components:
- Active Console
- AWS plugin
- Azure Monitor plugin
- Collection Agent
- Fix Analyser 2 Netprobe
- Fluentd Forward plugin
- Gateway
- Kubernetes plugin
- License Auditor
- Licence Daemon
- Netprobe
- OpenTelemetry plugin

- Webslinger
- AWS AMI (pre-configured for AWS monitoring)
- Azure Virtual machine image (pre-configured for Azure monitoring)
- Gateway docker image
- Netprobe docker image
- Gateway Helm chart
- Netprobe Helm chart
Highlights
These are the highlights of this release:
- New Fluentd plugin to aggregate log data. Fluentd is an open-source highly scalable log event data collector. Similar to Prometheus for metrics, Fluentd has become a popular choice of tool for log collection and aggregation in container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes and OpenShift. The new Fluentd plugin allows you to receive logs directly from Fluentd so you don’t have to deploy additional toolsets to aggregate log data for monitoring. The plugin supports inbound Fluentd protocol messages over secure TCP connection. The inbound messages are dynamically organised into streams of log data for monitoring using popular plugins like File Keyword Monitor and State Tracker. Geneos can also publish that data onwards to ITRS Obcerv platform, Splunk, or Elasticsearch for log search and analysis.
- Monitoring Kubernetes control plane components with Prometheus plugin. The Prometheus plugin is now enhanced to support collecting metrics from Kubernetes endpoints such as the control plane components. The key to providing a scalable, fault-tolerant, highly available Kubernetes service are the control plane components of Kubernetes such as the scheduler, etcd, api-server, and control-manager. In order to maintain a healthy Kubernetes cluster, monitoring these components is crucial. These components can expose internal performance metrics using Prometheus format. The Prometheus plugin can scrape the metric endpoints exposed by these components directly, without the need to install Prometheus server to aggregate this data.
- Other improvements:
- AWS plugin now supports monitoring custom namespaces (custom metrics), EC2 network interfaces and security groups. The plugin configuration is also updated to allow a single collector (plugin) to monitor multiple regions to minimise configuration.
- Gateway publishing now supports exclude filter when publishing data to other systems like ITRS Obcerv, Kafka and generic Http endpoints. This gives more control over the data published to other systems, helping to minimise downstream data requirements.
- Market Data Monitoring (MDM) plugin now includes a new feed adapter for connecting to Refinitiv’s Real Time Optimized data feed accessible via the cloud. This is available as pilot feature in this release.
- SQL-Toolkit plugin for SAP ASE (Sybase) now support Kerberos authentication.

Geneos 6.0.0
Released: 20 September 2022
Geneos new features and fixes are released on a regular two-monthly release cadence. Over the last two and a half years, we introduced many new features on the Geneos 5.x. We generally bump up the major version every two years, so it is time to move up to Geneos 6.x.
ITRS will continue to support Geneos 5.x at least until the end of 2024 because we recognise that not everyone will be able to upgrade to Geneos 6.x for some months. Currently, there is not yet a fixed end-of-life date for Geneos 5.x.
Note
End of life for 4.x.x is 31 May 2023. If you are using 4.x.x, we advise you to upgrade to 5.x.x or newer.
This release delivers the updates for the following Geneos components:
- Active Console
- AWS plugin
- Azure Monitor plugin
- Collection Agent
- File Agent
- Fix Analyser 2 Netprobe
- Gateway
- Geneos Workflow plugin
- Kubernetes plugin
- License Auditor
- Licence Daemon
- Netprobe
- Open Telemetry plugin
- Prometheus plugin
- SSO Agent
- StatsD plugin
- Web Server
- Webslinger
- AWS AMI (pre-configured for AWS monitoring)
- Azure Virtual machine image (pre-configured for Azure monitoring)
- Gateway docker image

- Netprobe Helm chart (pre-configured for Kubernetes monitoring)
Highlights
These are the highlights of this release:
- Ingest OpenTelemetry data for complete observability is an open, vendor-neutral toolset, and standard for instrumenting your applications and services. With the increased use of highly distributed microservice architectures, has become a popular standard for collecting observability data. We are excited to introduce the new plugin supporting the Protocol (OTLP) for collecting metrics, logs, and traces (partially supported). This gives you full-stack monitoring of your systems and applications alongside your other monitoring using the extensive range of plugins in Geneos. While metrics and logs are fully supported, we currently extract important metrics from the trace data. We intend to fully support trace data in future releases. Geneos can be configured to dynamically create the monitoring entities and data structures so your monitoring can automatically scale with your application deployment.
- Improved visibility and management of Geneos and its plugins, first introduced in 5.x, gather data points (metrics, logs, and events) and report them to Geneos Netprobe. Collection Agent can be deployed alongside Netprobes and managed by Netprobes or installed and managed independently from Netprobe. For most host-based monitoring, it is useful to deploy Collection Agent managed by Netprobe. For containerised environments like Kubernetes, Netprobe and Collection Agent are typically managed using Kubernetes objects. This release introduces improvements to the Collection Agent and its plugins (or Collectors) managed by a Netprobe.
- Collection Agent configuration (
collection-agent.yml) can now be managed centrally in Gateway via the Gateway Setup Editor alongside your other configuration. This removes the need to manage YAML files on the host where Collection Agent is running. Support for variables and validation reduces complexity and improves the user experience. This feature requires Gateway and Netprobe version 6.x. It is also recommended you upgrade Active Console and Gateway Setup Editor to version 6.x. - The lifecycle of the Collection Agent can be managed by the Netprobe, giving you more visibility and control of the Collection Agent and its plugins. Self-monitoring views and easy access to logs, errors, and configuration files from within mean you can easily diagnose any issues without needing access to host machines.
- Collection Agent configuration (
- Easily migrate AES keys for more secure password management supports private AES keys for encrypting sensitive data in configuration. When AES keys are changed, all encrypted data must be updated to use the new key. Gateway Setup Editor now supports a migration option to easily update the configuration to use the new key.

New features and enhancements
These are the new features and enhancements of this release:
| Issue key | Component | Release description |
|---|---|---|
| AA-5742 | Gateway | Gateway no longer includes a plaintext version of the database logging password in the metadata provided to Active Console. |
| AA-6514 | Gateway, Netprobe | Gateway can now manage the Collection Agent configuration and is able to:
|
| AA-6377 | Netprobe | Publishing Collection Agent 3.0.0 datapoints to the Netprobe is now supported. |
| AA-6378 | Gateway, Netprobe | Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS are now supported in Geneos 6.0. |
| AA-6417 | Gateway | When Gateway validates its setup, it now reports an error for each AES password that cannot be decrypted and a warning for each AES password that can only be decrypted with a key loaded via the -previous-key-file option. Where Gateway uses AES passwords directly, for example, in Obcerv and database logging credentials, it will not attempt to connect if the password cannot be decrypted. |
| AA-6442 | Gateway | In addition to the key-file command line option, a new command line option for Gateway -previous-key-file is now supported to facilitate the change of the Gateway AES key. When this option is used, the Gateway will decrypt passwords using the key-file or the previous-key-file, whichever succeeds first. Gateway Setup Editor allows you to migrate passwords encrypted using previous-key-file and re-encrypt them using the new key-file. This makes it easier to change AES key more often to improve security. |
| AA-6444 | Active Console, Gateway | Gateway Setup Editor now supports the migration of passwords that are encrypted using previous-key-file and their re-encryption using the new key-file. This makes it easier to change the Gateway AES key more often to improve security. |
| AA-6445 | Gateway, Netprobe, FIX Analyser 2 Netprobe | When a sampler setup contains an AES-encrypted password that cannot be decrypted by the Gateway, a parameter is set by the Gateway for the Netprobe to replace that sampler with another one. This new sampler has a dataview containing no rows and a sampling status stating the problem. This prevents the plugin from attempting to use the invalid password, which may cause the Netprobe to be locked out. |
| AA-6449 | Gateway | Gateway Setup Editor now displays a warning message when the Data Access field for connecting to Obcerv is not set. |
| AA-6478 | Gateway | Collection Agent 3 plugin licensing model now uses the itrsgroup namespace when publishing datapoints. This change will not affect any existing plugin licences in use. |
| AA-6487 | Gateway | Gateway now adds a self-monitoring entity with a Dynamic Entity Health plugin to any Netprobe configured with a Dynamic Entity mapping type. This is the default behavior, but it can be disabled in the Operating Environment section in GSE. |
| AA-6494 | Gateway | Collection Agent 3.0.0 is now packaged with Netprobe 6.0.0. |
| AA-6503 | Gateway | The aesKeyType row describing the keys used by Gateway has been added to the GatewayData dataview. |
| AA-6506 | Gateway | Validation of passwords is now skipped when the -hub-validation-rules command line option is set. |
| AA-6535 | Netprobe | The Entities view of the Dynamic Entities Health plugin has been updated to publish metrics with names and meanings similar to the metrics published by the Collection Agents view of the Gateway-probeData plugin. |
| AA-6544 | Gateway | The Netprobe view log command (/PROBE:viewLog) can now be run from the following:
|
| AA-6585 | Gateway | Collection Agent V3 built-in Dynamic Entity mapping has been added to support the Collection Agent 3.x. |

| AZUREMON-459 | Azure | Azure Monitor V3 builtin mapping has been added to support the Azure Monitor plugin 3.x. |
| C2-184 | Collection Agent | Individual components can now be enabled or disabled. |
| C2-187 | Collection Agent | The delay between daemon start-up and the healthy state has been reduced. |
| C2-188 | Collection Agent | A warning message about an undefined variable will no longer be logged when an environment variable substitution is commented out in the Collection Agent configuration file. |
| C2-195 | Collection Agent | An option to publish derived timer histogram metrics (min/max/count/Nth) has been added. |
| C2-197 | Collection Agent | The TimerHistogram has been replaced with a general purpose Histogram. |
| C2-223 | Collection Agent | The attributes workflow pipeline has been separated from the Metrics workflow pipeline to apply different delivery guarantees. |
| C2-226 | Collection Agent | The hostname dimension has been removed from the Kubernetes metrics. |
| C2-299 | Collection Agent | The log verbosity of the plugin loader has been reduced. |
| C2-345 | Collection Agent | A configuration test mode has been added to the Collection Agent. |

| COL-11363 | Netprobe | When Dynamic Entities are configured for Self-announcing Netprobes, the Managed Enitities are now optional. |
| COL-11399 | Netprobe | The Kubernetes specific Netprobe package (geneos-netprobe-<version>-kubernetes.tar.gz) is no longer available to download from the ITRS Downloads website. We recommend that you set up Kubernetes monitoring using the Helm Charts available through ITRS Helm repository. See Installation using Helm for more information. |
| COL-11401 | Netprobe | MDM plugin no longer requires the Application Key file, mdm_appkey.txt. |
| HAAW-64, HAAW-333, HAAW-345 | AWS | AWS plugin now displays the following attributes of the monitored EBS volumes:
|
| HAAW-329 | AWS | Metric names produced by the AWS plugin have been changed to be consistent with AWS convention. This may break existing x-paths that reference the old name. Please check the Gateway configuration to make sure AWS plugins related x-paths are valid. |
| HAAW-344 | AWS | AWS plugin now displays the LaunchTime attribute of the monitored EC2 instances. |
