Arqit SKA-Platform PaaS Release v24.06

What’s new?

Enhanced activity find

Console users are able to filter activity events by selecting those within a date/time range.

In conjunction with the existing text search, this functionality enables users to more easily find specific events via the console.

Users can access this feature by navigating to the ‘Activity’ page, where the From/To boxes can be found to the top left of the activity list.

Policy update control

The rate at which client devices poll for new policies and settings can be controlled centrally via the console.

This feature is applied via a policy and can be applied to individual devices or groups via ‘Organisational Units’ on the 'Devices' page.

The feature is controlled by a policy type: ‘Default Device Behaviour Policy'.

After the period set in the policy, devices will poll the server to check if any settings have changed.

The time can be set across the estate by navigating to the ‘Policies’ page and selecting the edit button for the default policy. Users can then type a value and choose the relevant units (period must be between 30 seconds and 4 weeks).

More granular policies can be applied to OUs or devices by copying the ‘Default Device Behaviour Policy’ instance, editing the values in each copy, then applying them as required.

What’s changed?
