NEW Features

• Wireless Access Point module(WAP module).

The WAP module is a powerful feature that can be used to monitor and analyze wireless access point activity. This module provides a comprehensive view of all the WAPs in a given area, including their signal strength, channel usage, and client connection status. With this information, network administrators can make informed decisions about how to optimize their network for better performance and reliability. The WAP module can also be used to troubleshoot network connectivity issues by identifying areas of weak signal strength or interference. It can provide real-time alerts when there are problems with specific WAPs or when there is a sudden spike in network activity. Additionally, With the NLG dashboard, it can generate reports and graphs that help visualize network trends and usage patterns over time.

Improvements

• Enhance Log Forwarder module

The log forward module on a logger tool is a critical component for centralizing and managing logs from multiple sources. This module can collect logs which sent to NLG from various devices, servers, and applications and forward them to a centralized log management system for analysis and storage. With the log forward module, network administrators can easily configure log forwarding rules, filter out unwanted data, and manage the flow of logs in a granular and flexible manner. This helps reduce the burden on individual systems and makes it easier to manage and monitor logs across the entire network. It supports various protocols such as TCP, UDP, and Syslog, providing compatibility with a wide range of systems and devices.

• Enhance data exporter.

The Enhance data exporter module in the enhanced version provides a flexible and powerful way to export log data to various destinations. It offers seamless integration with Elasticsearch. Allowing users to easily export the data. With its intuitive interface and robust feature set, the data exporter module in the NLG is an essential tool for any organization looking to streamline their log management processes and improve their data analysis capabilities.

New Feature

• Factory Reset For MDES module, user can clean NLG with Reset Factory. With this feature, NLG will delete all data from NLG’s database. It’ll look like new installation. But only effect NLG service only. Another service and host server or data on data source still the same before reset.

Improvement

• Enhance admin menu For menu admin, now can manage all menu. For default menu can disable it. After disable, that menu will not access. User can create new menu or delete menu that user created.
  
• Enhance data retention to support retention by disk percentages Data retention support condition by data created timestamp or disk usage. For data created timestamp, user can set interval for checking it. If data created timestamp date older than config such as 90 days, data will be deleted. For disk usage, user can set interval and threshold for start and stop retention data, such as disk usage 80% to start retention data and 50% to stop it. When data retention check disk usage higher than start threshold, it will start delete data from database. It’ll delete from oldest data until disk usage lower than stop threshold.
