Version: 3.3
Date: December 2016

New Features

JetPatch version 3.3 includes the following new features:

• Support for OS Versions in Management Services
• Support for Tools Replacement (Upgrade)
• Major Scale Improvements 
• Tools Report Widget
• Support for AWS RDS
• Improve Support for Pre-installed Connectors
• VM Templates Are Now Excluded from the Servers View

Support for OS Versions in Management Services

Now tools can be limited not only for Windows/Linux OS families but also for a more granular resolution, such as Windows 2012, Ubuntu, or Ubuntu 6.0. When a tool supports a set of operating systems JetPatch will allow a deployment of that tool only on servers of the defined OSs.

The supported operating systems of a Management Service can be found in the Library tab per agent under the General Settings of a Management Service.

Notice that AWS servers report the OS family only (Linux/Windows), and only after a server is being managed, JetPatch will find the exact OS and manage the server accordingly.

Support for Tools Replacement (Upgrade)

Now you can easily upgrade a tool to a different version in two ways:

1. Automatically by selecting a Management Service of a different version in an existing rule
2. Manually by removing the old version and applying a new package from Servers tab

Major Scale Improvements 

Now JetPatch can officially support 30k servers per JetPatch Server

We increased the number of supported servers in the Tools Overview page to be scalable by adding scroll functionality in the servers map and significantly improving performance.

Tools Report Widget

The new Console Dashboard now summarizes a chart with the status of all tools. You can filter to focus on the relevant tools and download the data as a CSV report.

Support for AWS RDS

Now you can run JetPatch with an AWS-managed PostgreSQL using the RDS service and enjoy the high availability mode it offers.

Improve Support for Pre-installed Connectors

Now if the connector is pre installed on the server you won't be required to enter the server account anymore.

VM Templates Are Now Excluded from the Servers View

If you use VM templates, they will now no longer appear in the Servers tab.

Added More VM Variables

Datacenter and Cluster names are now available as new columns in the Servers tab.

Alert to Prevent Accidental Change in JetPatch URL

If a user chooses to change the JetPatch connector on a server, a warning will now appear before the change in order to make sure that the new URL given is the correct URL that the connector should report to.
