6 1: What's New? 1 What's New? This chapter describes changes and enhancements made in CMM since V Performance Improvements CMM comes with the following performance improvements. Bulk Mode Bulk mode has been introduced for the CMM log management. The bulk mode feature increases the log management performance by supporting a higher throughput from the Log Agent to the Log API. The agent can now send an array of log events per request instead of sending log events one by one. The log agent configuration has been enhanced by new settings. The maximum number of logs that is sent to the Log API per request can be configured as well as the maximum data load per request. In addition, the time interval for sending logs and a delay time for the time interval can be specified when installing an agent or updating an agent configuration. Memcached Memcached is now included in and used by CMM. Memcached is an open-source, high-performance, distributed memory object caching system that is generic in nature, and intended to speed up dynamic Web applications. CMM uses Memcached for caching authentication and authorization information that is required for the communication between the Log API and OpenStack Keystone. ELK Stack All components of the ELK stack have been upgraded for performance reasons. For information on the versions that are now included in CMM, refer to Open Source Software on page Security CMM comes with the following security improvements. CMM Services The configuration of individual CMM Services and related processes has been modified to ensure system stability. HTTPS Support CMM now supports the HTTPS protocol for secure communication between the CMM Service and the CMM Log Agent. The required enhancements were made to all components involved in log management. The HTTPS protocol can also be used for secure communication between the CMM Service and the CMM Metrics Agent. Support and detailed instructions on how to use the HTTPS protocol for a more secure connection can be obtained from the FUJITSU support organizations. Release Notes 6

7 1: What's New? 1.3 Python API for Log Management CMM comes with a Python implementation for the Log API. The Python API replaces the Java API. The Java API has been deprecated. The CMM installation has been adjusted accordingly. 1.4 MariaDB CMM now uses a MariaDB database for storing configuration information, alarm definitions, and notification methods. The PostgreSQL database has been replaced by the MariaDB database to be prepared for clustering CMM in future releases. 1.5 Internationalization CMM comes with I18N support for adaptions to different languages and regional differences. In addition to English language resources, Japanese language resources are now provided for the CMM Horizon Plugin. This does not include the localization of Grafana and Kibana. 1.6 Areas of Expertise CMM comes with expertise and know-how in the following areas. This enables product customizations and solutions to meet specific customer requirements. Clustering CMM CMM ships with an installer that installs the CMM Service and the required agents on one host. In parallel to this single-node installation, the log management components of CMM can also be installed in cluster mode. If you are interested in clustering CMM, contact your FUJITSU support organization. Nagios Plugins The CMM Metrics Agent can run Nagios plugins and send status codes returned by the plugins as metrics to the Monitoring API. rmation on how to use Nagios checks in CMM can be obtained from the FUJITSU support organizations. WebHook and PagerDuty Notifications define how CMM users are informed when a threshold value for an alarm is reached or exceeded. is the notification method supported by CMM. If you want to use WebHook or PagerDuty, contact your FUJITSU support organization for detailed step-by-step instructions on how to integrate these methods in your environment. 1.7 Upgrade of CMM Components For this release, the following middleware components of CMM have been upgraded: CMM Component CMM 1.0 CMM 1.1 Kafka V V Release Notes 7
