Release Summary

The most potentially impactful thing is that we are now shipping check_ncpa written in C, versus the old way written in Python. check_ncpa checks execute up to 10x faster in our checking, the ultimate impact is that customers should be able to run more check_ncpa checks on the same hardware. Existing checks will not be affected. New monitoring configured via a check_ncpa-based wizards will use the new C-based plugin.

There is a migration script available from the support department if people want to migrate their checks to the faster plugin. We aren’t shipping that script with XI so that people don’t just run it without thinking through the consequences.

Other than that, SSO for XI mobile is the “Added” that makes it a feature release. Lots of fixes, Debian 11 support is removed, and people will see that continue with the other products. [Video Overview]
