- Support for NetApp HCI.
- AWS Tags allow you to track meta data associated with EC2 or EBS instances. AWS attributes such as instance type will be coming soon.
- Expressions in time series widgets allow you to create on-the-fly metrics about how the device is behaving, e.g., IO density, other operations, etc.
- Additional configuration on a time series gives you the ability to add new time series in a data source, e.g., QTREE performance.
- Capacity as a time series is now available in the web UI.
- Licensed capacity extends to VMDKs: Customers will now be charged for EBS and Azure VHD capacity.

NetApp TRs (New)


Note: As I discover new NetApp TRs I’m updating the NetApp Technical Reports Catalogue: Index TR-4000 to latest (HTML Links Version) post.

Sublime Text

I usually use Notepad++ for composing my PowerShell scripts (prefer this to Windows PowerShell ISE). Then I happened to be watching someone using Sublime Text from https://www.sublimetext.com/ and thought “that looks very nice, I’ll try it out” (still to try it out but haven’t forgotten).
