To find out when self-serve upgrades will be available for your organization, contact Solace.

Solace Insights Now Available for Self-Managed Appliance Event Brokers as a Controlled Availability Feature

Customers can now enjoy all of Insights' observability benefits with their self-managed appliance event brokers.

Support for deploying Insights to a self-managed appliance event broker is currently in Controlled Availability. Controlled Availability indicates full support but with the potential requirement of additional time, tuning, and configuration.

You enable Insights for your self-managed appliance event broker by installing an Insights Agent in a Podman container on your appliance event broker. The Insights Agent collects the appliance event broker' logs and metrics, sending them to Datadog where you can view them using the full suite of Solace Insights dashboards, monitors, and metrics available in your Insights Datadog sub-organization.

You enable Insights and gather the required installation information for your Insights Agent using the Cloud Console.

For more information, see Insights for Self-Managed Event Brokers. To get Insights for your self-managed appliance event broker, contact Solace.

30 MB Guaranteed Message Support for Enterprise 1K Service Class

Solace is adding support for 30 MB Guaranteed messaging to newly created Enterprise 1K class event broker services with the release of rolling version 10.25.8.3179-20.

You can upgrade your existing Enterprise 1Kevent broker service to version 10.25.8.3179-20 following our defined upgrade path and then request an in-service upscale to enable 30 MB Guaranteed messaging for an existing event broker service. For more information, contact Solace.

30 MB Guaranteed message support increases the memory request and memory limit requirements by 383 MiB per messaging node for an Enterprise 1K class event broker service. See the following tables for a summary of the memory related requirements (the numbers include memory required by the monitoring agent on each node):

Service Type	Pod Type	Memory Request	Total Memory Request	Memory Limit	Total Memory Limit
Enterprise 1K - High Availability	Primary messaging node	7,854.0	18,012.0	8,110.0	18,780.0
	Backup messaging node	7,854.0		8,110.0
	Monitoring node	2,304.0		2,560.0

Service Type	Memory Request	Memory Limit
Enterprise 1K - Standalone	7,854.0	8,110.0

Enterprise 1Kevent broker services using long term support (LTS) version 10.25.0 do not receive the 30 MB Guaranteed message support and are unaffected by the memory increase requirement. 30 MB message support and its resource requirements will roll into the next LTS version (10.26.0).

For more information, see Memory Resource Requirements.

Event Portal REST API Enhancements for CI/CD Pipelines

We have made enhancements to the Event Portal REST APIs designed to improve the integration of Event Portal with CI/CD pipelines. These improvements address gaps that previously impeded seamless integration with existing CI/CD pipelines and Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) workflows.

Our REST API improvements focus on two key use cases that enable better workflow integration:

1. On-Demand Configuration Push
   • Trigger configuration push operations manually when needed.
   • Greater control over deployment timing, with a new on-demand option in addition to the existing automated configuration push.
   • Perfect for teams that need precise control over when configurations are deployed to their event brokers.
2. Self-Managed Configuration Push
   • Retrieve complete application runtime configurations directly from Event Portal.
   • Use existing CI/CD pipelines to provision operational event brokers.
   • Ideal for teams with established DevOps processes who want to maintain consistency across their deployment toolchain, but still want the governance and automatic, accurate, and up-to-date documentation that Event Portal provides.

With these two new modes, users can also update their applications’ configuration push status, thus keeping Event Portal up-to-date.

These enhancements enable you to:

• Seamlessly integrate Event Portal into existing development workflows.
• Choose between automated, on-demand, and self-managed configuration push modes.
• Leverage existing CI/CD infrastructure and processes.
• Accelerate the deployment of your applications.

For detailed implementation guidance and API documentation, please see following documentation:

Automatic Connections Between Event Portal and Event Broker Services in Public Regions

We are excited to announce significant enhancements to how event broker services in cloud Public Regions connect to Event Portal.

You no longer need to deploy, upgrade, configure, and host your own self-managed Event Management Agents (EMA). If you have event broker services in Public Regions, we now manage their connections to Event Portal for you.

As soon as you add an event broker service in a Public Region to a modeled event mesh in Runtime Event Manager, Event Portal automatically creates and manages connections between those event broker services and Event Portal. You can then benefit from features such as discovery and audit or configuration push to event broker services without having to manage EMAs.

When you remove an event broker service from a modeled event mesh, the connection is deleted in Event Portal.

If you have connected self-managed Solace software event brokers, Solace appliances, Kafka clusters, or Confluent Schema Registries to Event Portal, you still need to use self-managed EMAs.

If you have event broker services in Dedicated or Customer-Controlled Regions, you still need to manage event broker service connections to Event Portal using the cloud-managed Event Portal connections feature.

For more information, see Connecting Event Portal to Runtime Event Brokers.

Please contact Solace with any enquiries.

Introducing a New Visual Designer for Mappings in Micro-Integration

We're pleased to introduce a significant enhancement to our Micro-Integrations with our new visual transformation capability. This Beta feature simplifies event mapping by replacing the manual entering of expressions with an intuitive graphical interface for mapping messages and payload values. The new no-code interface enables users to map and transform events. You can now use our streamlined visual graphical interface in the PubSub+ Cloud Console to:

• Create source and target mappings that includes vendor-specific headers and custom headers using drag-and-drop.

• Create dynamic Smart Topics, which allow you to build dynamic target headers from runtime data.

• Insert transformations to mappings (previously this required manually entering expressions).

• Upload sample JSON payloads to define your Source and Target events.

For more information, see Mapping Headers and Payloads.

Event Portal Security Enhancement

To improve Event Portal security, we have removed the ability for users to retrieve application client username passwords in plaintext after they have provided them.

After users provide client username passwords, they can no longer:

• retrieve passwords in plaintext using the Manage Credentials option in the Runtime tab
• retrieve passwords in plaintext from the deployment Preview dialog.

All other application client username credential functionality continues to behave as previously implemented.

Please contact Solace if you need assistance.

XSD Schema Support in AsyncAPI Exports from Event Portal

Event Portal now supports XSD schemas in AsyncAPI specification exports, enabling customers working with XML-formatted event payloads to fully utilize the AsyncAPI capabilities offered by Event Portal. This feature is valuable for integration scenarios involving XML-based message formats. This enhancement allows you to:

• Export AsyncAPI specifications for applications, event APIs, and Event API Products that use XSD schema-based events.
• Generate valid AsyncAPI documents that properly represent XML payload schemas.
• Access exports through both Designer and a new Event Portal API.

Technical Notes

• In accordance with AsyncAPI specification requirements, XSD schemas are inlined as strings in the exported document
• The current implementation handles direct XSD schemas. Support for nested XSD schema references will be addressed in a future release.
• This functionality is available only through Designer and the new Beta AsyncAPI REST API endpoint, which provides enhanced support for schema references.

For more information about exporting schemas in AsyncAPI documents from Designer, see Schemas

For more information about exporting AsyncAPI documents using REST APIs, see Get the AsyncAPI specification for an application version and Get the AsyncAPI Specification for an Event API Version.

Enhancement to Protect Production Environments

We have updated the ability to change the environment type between Production and Non-Production after creating an environment. This change helps better protect your production assets and ensure production and non-production environments stay separate. If you need to move assets in or out of production, you must now move or copy the assets between environments rather than changing the environment type.

For more information, see Creating and Managing Environments.

Nested Referenced JSON Schema Support in AsyncAPI Documents Exported from Event Portal

We are introducing support for nested referenced schemas within Event Portal for exported AsyncAPI specifications. This enhancement ensures that exported AsyncAPI documents accurately reflect the complete application or event API interface definitions, including all associated nested referenced schemas. This update includes the following improvements:

Comprehensive Support

• Supports nested referenced JSON type schemas.
• Compatible with AsyncAPI exports and integrations for applications, event APIs, and Event API Products.
• Supports AsyncAPI exports via both the UI and the REST API.
• A new Beta REST API endpoint is being introduced for these enhancements as part of this feature. The old REST API endpoint will be deprecated when the new one is declared GA.

Enhanced Data Integrity

• Implements collision detection for event and schema names within the AsyncAPI.
• Provides clear error messages to guide users in resolving naming conflicts.
• Introduces two new naming strategies to address collisions. Users can select one or both strategies to resolve naming conflicts effectively:
  • Prepend application domain names: (e.g., Shipping.Order)
  • Append major version number: (e.g., Order.V3)

This update offers the following benefits:

• Improved Data Accuracy: Exported AsyncAPI documents now provide a more complete and accurate representation of event payload schemas when schemas include references to other schemas, facilitating better integration and understanding by consumers.
• Enhanced Developer Experience: The new naming strategies and collision detection mechanisms minimize potential integration issues.
• Increased Reliability: By ensuring data integrity within the exported specifications, this feature enhances the overall reliability and stability of event-driven architectures.

This update may require adjustments to existing workflows involving AsyncAPI exports.

Solace will introduce a default environment to all organizations. You can set a different environment as the default and delete the provided one. For more information, see Creating and Managing Environments.

We encourage organizations to use this opportunity to designate an environment of their choice as their default environment, as Solace will move any event broker service without an environment to your organization’s default at a future date.

For more information, contact Solace.

Increased Memory Resource Requirements for Event Broker Service 10.6 and Later

The memory limit and total memory limit requirements for event broker services versions 10.6 and later are increasing. The memory limit is increasing by 256 MiB per broker to provide more memory to the monitoring agents. This means the following total memory increase per service type:

• Stand alone and developer class event broker services require 256 MiB additional memory limit per service.

• High availability event broker service require 768 MiB additional memory limit per service.

This memory increase provides the monitoring agents with additional resources they require during upgrades. The memory request limit remains unchanged at 256 MiB per monitoring agent.

See the General Resource Requirements for Kubernetes and Default Port Configuration for a table listing the memory limit requirements for all supported event broker versions.

Micro-Integrations Are Now Available in PubSub+ Cloud

Solace now offers Micro-Integrations. Micro-Integrations are small, lightweight, event-driven integration modules that connect enterprise technologies (legacy and SaaS applications, messaging services, databases, files, AI agents etc.) to an event-driven distribution layer, so they can exchange information in real-time.

Micro-Integrations offer you the following benefits:

• Better Agility—Micro-Integrations make it easy to change the way applications and services interact with one another. You can also reuse the Micro-Integrations to scale or share events quickly.
• Faster Data Distribution—Micro-Integrations typically offer higher performance than traditional integration solutions, while simplifying networking configuration, because they are deployed close to source and target applications.
• Scalability—Updates from source systems can be delivered to an almost infinite number of target systems by using many target micro-integrations around an event broker service or an event mesh. In addition, you can deploy more instances of a given Micro-Integration to dynamically support an increasing amount of information and traffic flowing to or from a single application, allowing for horizontal scaling.
• Highly Flexible—A wide selection of Micro-Integrations can be leveraged to distribute data between your different enterprise technologies using event broker services.

Micro-Integrations are not enabled by default. Please contact Solace to enable them in your account.

Helpful Warnings When Adding Application Versions to Event Brokers in Event Portal

Now, when adding an application version to an event broker in an environment, Event Portal displays helpful warning messages to indicate if there are discrepancies between the event versions that are declared to be subscribed to by the application version and event versions that will actually be attracted by that application version’s subscriptions after it is deployed to the runtime. Each discrepancy displays in a table row that explains the discrepancy, such as no matching subscription for the application or if the application’s subscription attracts an older or newer version of the event in the target environment. The new messages provide a preview of what will happen in the runtime before the actual deployment and allows users to continue with adding the application version to the environment or fix the discrepancies first. For more information, see Applications.

Single Sign-On Support for PubSub+ Insights Datadog Account as Controlled Availability

PubSub+ Insights customers can now configure single sign-on (SSO) for the Datadog account included with their Insights subscription as a Controlled Availability feature.

With this feature, Solace gives a user you choose the SAML Manager role. They use this role to configure SSO for the Datadog account using your own SAML Identity Provider. Configuring SSO for the Datadog account included with your Insights subscription allows you to provide your users with access to the Datadog account and map permissions within the account to existing Insights user roles.

For more information, see Single Sign-On for Solace Insights Datadog Accounts.

New Insights Advanced Manager now Available as Controlled Availability

PubSub+ Insights customers can now assign the Insights Advanced Manager role to a user as a Controlled Availability feature.

Editing Object Descriptions in Event Portal

Application domain managers (and higher-level users) can now allow users to edit object version Description fields for applications, events, and schemas in any lifecycle state. Before this enhancement, descriptions could be edited only for objects in Draft state, even though updating an Event Portal object version's description does not materially change the event interface of an application version. Now, managers have the option not to enforce this restriction. If the restriction is not enforced, users can edit the Description of an object version without moving the version back to Draft state or creating a new version. For more information, see Application Domains.

Event Portal Enhancements to Help Users Manage their Event-Driven Architecture

Event Portal has introduced several improvements to help users:

• When selecting an event version to be published or subscribed to by a new application version, users can now narrow down the event versions displayed to only those already being published to specific event meshes or environments. For more information, see Applications.

• Warnings available in the Runtime Event Manager graphs are now also retrievable via an Event Portal API.

• Administrators and Event Portal Managers can now enable delete protection on a specific application domain. For more information, see Application Domains.

Choosing Specific Versions/Revisions of Broker Releases Now Available in Cluster Manager

Previously in Cluster Manager, when you selected the broker version, you could only select the release number and you could not select the version or revision that you wanted. The ability to select version and revision information was only available to users that created event broker services use the PubSub+ Cloud Cloud REST API.

Now, when you create an event broker service using the new Create Service page user-interface in Cluster Manager, you can choose the broker release in the new Broker Release field and then optionally select a specific version and revision of that broker release in the Broker Version field. See Release and Versioning Scheme for Event Broker Services for more information about broker releases, versions, and revisions.

You can choose from versions that are currently in support and the default is still to create the event broker service using the most recent version and revision of a broker release.

You may find this capability useful in situations where you require event broker services to be created with an exact match that includes not only the broker release but also the version and revision. For example, you may have tested using 10.6.1.50-2, but then 10.6.1.100-1 gets released shortly after you complete testing, becoming the default for all new event broker service creation. To avoid invalidating your testing, you can choose the exact version and revision you tested with when creating new event broker services.

Besides the new ability to choose a specific version and revision of a broker release, there are other user-interface flow improvements, including:

• You now select a region using a drop-down list rather than a cumbersome pop-up window

• You select message spool size and connections after choosing the broker release, version and revision.

For more information about creating event broker services with the improved updates in Cluster Manager, see Creating Event Broker Services.

Solace Increases Default Spool Size for Event Broker Services in PubSub+ Cloud

Solace has increased the default message spool size for all newly created 10.7.1 and later event broker services in PubSub+ Cloud.

The default message spool size for an event broker service continues to be defined by its service class. The following table lists both the existing and new default message spool sizes by event broker service class.

Service Class	Message Spool Size for Versions 10.6.1 and Earlier	Message Spool Size for Version 10.7.1 and Later
Developer	10 GiB	25 GiB
Enterprise 250	25 GiB	50 GiB
Enterprise 1K	50 GiB	200 GiB
Enterprise 5K	200 GiB	400 GiB
Enterprise 10K	300 GiB	600 GiB
Enterprise 50K	500 GiB	800 GiB
Enterprise 100K	500 GiB	1000 GiB

For more information about default message spool size, see Default Message Spool Sizing.

For Customer-Controlled Regions, the new default spool sizes introduce changes to the minimum persistent disk space requirement. Event broker services created with version 10.7.1 and later require persistent disk space that is 30% greater than the default message spool size for its service class. This change in persistent disk size is a reduction from the previous requirement of double the message spool size. For example, the new 50 GB default message spool size for the Enterprise 250 class service now requires 65 GiB-sized disks per broker (two disks total for a High Availability service). See the 10.7.1 Event Broker Service release note, and Volume Size for High Availability Event Broker Services for a table listing the persistent disk size requirements.

Solace will provide notice soon on how customers can upscale the message spool size for existing upgraded event broker services to the new default sizes and overhead requirements.

Event Broker Service Version 10.7.1 Available in PubSub+ Cloud

Customers can now create event broker services using broker version 10.7.1.

For Customer-Controlled Regions, new event broker services created using version 10.7.1 have new minimum persistent disk space requirements. The new minimum persistent disk space requirement is reduced, from double the message spool size to 30% greater than the default message spool size, for the event broker service's class type. Customers should note that the default spool size for each class has also increased. The following table lists the new minimum disk size requirement by service class.

Service Class	Minimum Persistent Disk Size for Version 10.7.1 and Later
Developer	35 GiB
Enterprise 250	65 GiB x2
Enterprise 1K	260 GiB x2
Enterprise 5K	520 GiB x2
Enterprise 10K	780 GiB x2
Enterprise 50K	1040 GiB x2
Enterprise 100K	1300 GiB x2

See Message Spool Size Requirements in General Resource Requirements for Kubernetes and Default Port Configuration for the updated persistent disk space requirements.

For more information about the increased default spool size change, see the Solace Increases Default Spool Size for Event Broker Services in PubSub+ Cloud release note.

To learn more about other features available in 10.7.1, see the 10.7.0 and 10.7.1 sections in the Event Broker Features release notes. If you are interested in specific features that are not listed, contact Solace for more information.

To create event broker services in 10.7.1, you can use the version selection feature and select version 10.7.

You can book upgrades of existing event broker services as times become available in Calendly. For the planned availability dates for upgrades, see the Support Dates for Release Versions page.

TLS Support Added to Provide Enhanced Security for Syslog Forwarding

Solace has introduced TLS protocol support when forwarding syslogs to an external system. TLS support enhances security by providing encryption when forwarding syslogs.

You can enable syslog forwarding using the new TLS radio button on the Add Syslog Forwarding Destination dialog when adding or editing syslog forwarding for an event broker service.

Users should also be aware at this time that syslog forwarding does not support HTTP proxies.

To add, or edit syslog forwarding, see Forwarding Logs to an External System.

Event Portal Enhancements to Help Users Locate Assets

Event Portal has several improvements to help users locate their event-driven assets in various screens in Event Portal. These include:

• In Designer, text searches for objects use "contains" criteria instead of "starts with".

• Custom attributes of type “Simple” can now support the entry of values with special characters. This enables various new use cases. For example, users can filter on all applications or events (or other objects) in the Catalog that have custom attributes with values containing a specific email address or set of email addresses. Thereby helping users better categorize and locate their event-driven assets.

  The following special characters are supported: period [.], hyphen [-], en dash [–], underscore [_], at [@], slash [/], and parentheses [( )].

• Users can now toggle the graph view setting, “Show Object Full Names”, in both Runtime Event Manager and Designer. This helps find objects with longer names where the unique part is towards the middle or end of the name.

Event Management Agent User Experience Improvements in Event Portal

The Event Management Agent installation and use for Upload Scan File mode have been simplified. We've reduced the number of steps and you now must perform only a single operation to scan event brokers and schema registries, and another single operation to manually upload the scan files to Event Portal. When using Upload Scan File mode, the Event Management Agent is stopped and cleaned up after the scan and upload operations complete to reduce resource consumption and meet business security requirements.

For more information, see Setting Up Event Broker Connections.

Role-Based Access Controls in Cluster Manager Extended to Support SSO-Enabled Event Broker Services

Solace has extended support for role-based access controls (RBAC) to include single sign-on (SSO) configured event broker services.

This feature extends the recently introduced RBAC controls used for managing roles and permissions in Cluster Manager. You can now use these controls to set user access for individual SSO-enabled event broker services. Configuring an SSO-enabled event broker service this way pushes the user access configurations to the service's SSO configuration. After settings roles and permissions for an SSO-enabled event broker service, you can map the roles using your identity provider (IdP).

This allows you to elevate permissions for users on certain SSO-enabled event broker services. You can also exclude users from the PubSub+ Cloud Console entirely while providing access and permissions to specific event broker services using the event broker service's URL.

As the event broker service SSO configuration must be up-to-date when assigning roles and permissions, we have added new information about the SSO configuration in the following locations:

• On the tiles representing event broker services in Cluster Manager in the tile view

• The Detailed Service Information page

• On the User Access dialog when setting access to an event broker service

For more information, see Configuring User Access to Event Broker Services.

New Regional Site Available in Singapore for the PubSub+Home Cloud

Solace now offers a new regional site in Singapore for the Home Cloud. Similar to the regional site for the Home Cloud in the United States, the Home Cloud in Singapore can manage event broker services from any geographical region around the world. The regional site in Singapore permits:

• customers with Singapore data residency and sovereignty regulations to store management data, service metadata (for example Event Portal information), and personally identifiable information (PII) in Singapore.

• depending on the customer's network configuration and geographic location, an alternative regional site to minimize latency when connected to the PubSub+Cloud Console.

The regional sites for the Home Cloud don't share any information or infrastructure and as such, separate accounts and different URLs to access the PubSub+Cloud Console for each Home Cloud are required. The regional site in Singapore currently supports Dedicated Regions and Customer-Controlled Regions. Public Regions are not available.

For more information about the different regional sites for the Home Clouds and accessing the Cloud Console for each regional site, see Solace Home Cloud and Logging In to the Solace Cloud Console, respectively.

Graphical Designer Now Available in Event Portal

Event Portal introduces new graphical design capabilities in Designer. This first phase of the graphical designer provides a graphical view of the event-driven architecture for each of your application domains, along with the ability to customize the arrangement of the application and event icons in the graph. For more information, see Using the Graph View.

The graph displays the latest, non-retired version of each application and event in the application domain, and shows the intended pub/sub relationships between them, as well as the relationships with events and applications in other application domains.

If you have Editor level access or higher to the application domain, as you drag objects around in the graph to customize the view, the changes are automatically saved and can be viewed by other users who have access to the application domain. You can also double-click on an application or event icon in the graph to view or edit the details of the object.

Adding Application Versions to Runtime Event Manager in Event Portal

In December 2022, we deprecated the ability to directly associate application versions with modeled event meshes in Designer and replaced it with associating application versions to model event brokers within modeled event meshes. For more information about associating application versions with modeled event meshes, see Applications.

We have now removed all remaining direct associations of applications to modeled event meshes in Event Portal.

This change means that if you had application versions associated with modeled event meshes that had not been updated since December 2022, you may have modeled event meshes in Runtime Event Manager that no longer contain any objects. All of your objects are still in Designer and you can reassociate them.

If you need assistance, please contact Solace.

Event Broker Service Version 10.7.0 Available in PubSub+ Cloud

Customers can now create event broker services using broker version, 10.7.0.

Event broker service 10.7.0 is a Preview release. You cannot upgrade your existing event broker services to a Preview release. Preview releases have six months of technical support. For information about software event broker service types in PubSub+ Cloud, see Version Adoption in Solace Cloud.

This release includes a variety of security and bug fixes; no new major features are included. To learn more about other features available in the 10.7.0, see the 10.7.0 section in the Event Broker Features release notes. If you are interested in specific features that are not listed, contact Solace for more information.

To create a 10.7.0 event broker service, you can use the version selection feature and select version 10.7 (Preview). Upgrades of existing services to 10.7.0 are not supported.

Kafka Bridge Now Available for Existing Event Broker Services in PubSub+ Cloud

Solace now supports Kafka bridges for existing event broker services in PubSub+ Cloud that are upgraded to 10.6.1 and greater.

After upgrading your existing event broker service to 10.6.1, you can enable Kafka bridge with a scale up. During the scale up, Solace performs the required configuration changes to enable Kafka bridges on the existing event broker service. The scale up requires a small maintenance window of approximately 10 to 15 minutes. If you want to scale up a standalone service, you can expect a small downtime of approximately five minutes.

To schedule a Kafka bridge scale up for your existing event broker service, contact Solace.

To upgrade your event broker service to 10.6.1, see Upgrading Event Broker Services in Solace Cloud or contact Solace.

The number of Kafka bridges and connections available to your event broker service depends on its service class. See Service-Level Limits for Each Service Class for more information. To configure Kafka bridges for your event broker service after a scale up, see Configuring Kafka Bridging

Role-Based Access Controls Now Available for Mission Control

Solace introduces role-based access controls (RBAC) for Mission Control, providing greater control over user access to Mission Control for organizations using single sign-on (SSO) and user groups. RBAC allows you to define different levels of access to your event broker services on a per-service basis. You can do this by assigning the new Mission Control User role to a group, providing no access to event broker services by default, and then setting access levels for that group on existing event broker service individually.

You can assign the following access to the Mission Control User:

• Manage—Edit, delete, and access event broker service settings in Cluster Manager and edit VPN settings in Broker Manager.

• Edit—View event broker service settings in Cluster Manager and Edit VPN settings in Broker Manager.

• View—View event broker service settings in Cluster Manager and VPN settings in Broker Manager.

• No Access—Has no access to Mission Control.

This allows you to control user access so that users may, or may not have permission to view or manage particular event broker services. You can use RBAC to restrict user access to Mission Control entirely, limiting them to Event Portal or Insights. You can even use the new access levels to elevate the permissions of the Mission Control Viewer role for certain services. See Configuring User Access to Event Broker Services for more information.

As part of the RBAC release, Solace has renamed the following roles:

• The Cluster Manager is now the Mission Control Manager
• The Cluster Viewer is now the Mission Control Viewer

If you use APIs to manage your users, be aware of the following changes:

• Solace has changed the following role IDs:

  • messaging-service-viewer is now mission-control-viewer

  • messaging-service-editor is now mission-control-manager

• You can continue to use the existing role IDs until June 20th, 2024, at which time, you must switch to the new IDs.

• Effective immediately, requesting a list roles returns the new IDs.

If you use event broker service SSO, RBAC will not provide resource-role-based access control (R-RBAC). Support for R-RBAC with event broker service SSO is coming in an upcoming release. For more information, Contact Solace.

Enhanced Cluster Manager User Interface with New List View

Solace is introducing an updated and enhanced user interface (UI) for Cluster Manager in Mission Control. Customers should notice that the enhanced UI is very similar to the previous UI, with some changes and additional features.

The most significant change is the availability of a list view. You can access the list view by clicking the List View icon in the top-right corner of the screen. When in list view, Cluster Manager shows a list of event broker services in a table-like format. Each entry in the list features the same information as appears on the tiles representing the event broker services when Cluster Manageris in tile view. The list view allows you to select multiple event broker services. Currently, you can use this to delete multiple event broker services at the same time or to create an event mesh.

Other new features of the enhanced UI include:

• The filter field now provides the ability to use an asterisk as a wild card. You can place an asterisk at the beginning or end of a string to return results including all event broker services matching the string plus wild card. For example, entering ‘My-*’ returns all services with names starting with My-, including My-First-Service, My-Second-Service, and My-New-Service.

• The tiles in the tile view now show the complete event broker service name, up to the maximum of 50 characters.

• You can rename an event broker service by opening a rename dialog directly from the tile or list entry for a service. See Changing the Name of an Event Broker Service for more information.

• Deleting an event broker service now produces a confirmation dialog. You must confirm the deletion by entering the event broker service name into the dialog. See Deleting Event Broker Services for more information.

• If you are using role-based access controls (RBAC) to control access to your event broker services, you can set a user group's access level from the Actions menu for the event broker service in both the tile and list view. See Setting Mission Control User Access for Event Broker Services in Cluster Manager for more information.

See Viewing Event Broker Services for information on using Cluster Manager, including the new list view and features.
