Renderer Microservice Revamp: 2x Faster Performance

Smarter Alerting with "No Data" Tag for Clearer Insights
Alerting is the cornerstone of effective monitoring, and Business Intelligence 3.5.0 elevates it with a new "No Data" tag for alert evaluations. This feature highlights alerts triggered by missing data, enabling you to quickly identify and address gaps in your data streams.
This added clarity helps you focus on real issues instead of false positives, making your alerting workflows more precise and actionable.
Alert Event Stability Fix for High-Load Dependability
In high-stakes environments, alert reliability is critical. Business Intelligence 3.5.0 addresses this by fixing key race conditions in alert event processing. This ensures consistent and timely alert handling, even during peak loads, preventing missed notifications or delays.
This improvement guarantees dependable performance, giving you confidence in your monitoring system during demanding scenarios.
Modernized UI and Menu Icons for Intuitive Navigation
A seamless user experience begins with thoughtful design. In this release, we’ve refreshed the interface with updated menu icons and subtle UI enhancements. These changes simplify navigation, making it easier to access key features and workflows.
We’ve also prioritized accessibility to ensure the platform is inclusive and user-friendly for everyone. These updates reduce friction and save time, letting you focus on deriving value from your data.
