Changelog

Vesana ships on the 1.9 line in frequent, small releases (patch bumps only, often several per day). The formal source for every version is the release notes inside your instance: Admin → System → Updates shows what changes for every available version; so does the announcement dialog before an automatic update. This page only summarises the big lines since summer 2026.

Important changes since 07/2026

Usability

  • Host wizard in three steps (device → profiles & checks → connection) with expert mode, several profiles per host, individual catalog checks — Adding hosts
  • Structure column with your own folders, breadcrumb, neighbour tabs — Hosts page & structure
  • Jump quick search (Cmd/Ctrl+K) and the new sidebar with resting state, hover and shape — Interface & navigation
  • Vesana as an installable web app with Web Push on Android, iPhone and iPad; the native Android app is gone — Vesana on your phone
  • Check in full screen with analysis/status/configuration, rich result details, multi-series graphs — Host detail page
  • Compact host header on a single line (stored per user), a toolbar and sortable tenants in the structure column, the hosts table stepping columns aside when space is tight (from v1.9.444) — Host detail page, Hosts page & structure
  • The Alerting menu entry sits under Configuration instead of Monitoring (from v1.9.439); the admin area is reorganised into seven groups (from v1.9.448) — Interface & navigation

Onboarding

  • Automatic setup: Vesana adopts discovered devices itself — Automatic setup
  • Credential sets per tenant (SNMP v2c/v3, SSH, API token) — Credentials
  • SNMPv3 without guessing: "Test connection" determines the protocols on the device — Setting up SNMPv3
  • Device names from DNS, SNMP, LLDP, RDP, SMB, mDNS and NetBIOS in a fixed order; subnet search only on first contact, manually or via the schedule checkbox — Discovery

Checks and scripts

  • Configurable values on scripts (# @vesana-param in the body), one script feeds many checks — Configurable values
  • Thresholds visible on script checks, "empty = inherited", verdict with reasoning; one field set per check type everywhere — Monitoring scripts
  • Evaluation in plain words instead of regex; old evaluation contracts migrated automatically — Expected values & comparison
  • Docker tab, hardware telemetry (SMART, temperatures), internet line check with bufferbloat grade, Proxmox backup checks, Sonos and UGREEN profiles
  • SNMP values with meaning: an "interpretation" block maps state values, converts metrics and renders them readably; a state value without a mapping is WARNING instead of a silent OK (from v1.9.448) — SNMP interpretation
  • Devices with an API but no shell: the new check type Script (API); ESXi now runs over the vSphere API with a read-only account (from v1.9.443) — Check type reference
  • One access type for all device APIs (user + password on the host), and access types a device does not need no longer get in the way (from v1.9.439) — Adding hosts

Alerting

  • Delivery journal with retries, host-down as one message, bundled recoveries, exceptions in rules, per-channel and per-stage fine control, repeated notifications with three modes — Alerting
  • One Alerting page with overview, rules, channels and active alerts
  • Info mode as its own status, category filters and a uniform ACK vocabulary — Error overview

Operations and security

  • Automatic updates with waiting time, time window and announcement dialog; update bar with real progress — Updates
  • Backup restore creates the database fresh, upload of large backups — Backup & restore
  • Sessions: "Stay signed in", session overview, identity confirmation before sensitive actions — Sessions
  • Single sign-on (OIDC), username instead of mandatory email, tenant separation on every endpoint — SSO
  • Allowing server-side checks per tenant (from v1.9.437) — Active Collector
  • Separate admin container via a wizard: build up, verify, then switch — with a way back and a dead-man's switch (from v1.9.447) — Admin access
  • Preview features (policies, reports, status pages, anomaly detection) are off by default and released deliberately (from v1.9.447) — Preview features
  • One timezone for messages, interface and new reports; disabled hosts and checks are completely silent for alerting (from v1.9.447) — Channels, If-then reference
  • The setup wizard now requires the one-time code from the installer (from v1.9.446) — Installation

Removed

  • Email 2FA (v1.9.268) — authenticator app (TOTP) and security keys/passkeys remain.
  • Native Android app including Firebase (v1.9.400) — replaced by the installable web app with Web Push.
  • Log alert rules (v1.9.427) — log alerts run via event log/script checks and regular alert rules; log collection and live tail remain.
  • Tenant-wide repeat notifications — reminders are configured per alert rule.
  • Channel fields "include recoveries" / "minimum severity" on the push channel — the selection now lives in the alert rule.
