What's New in Version 8.9
DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF) release 8.9 focuses on interface parity and brings advanced telemetry, such as TCP Analysis and Flow Latency, into the GUI to align with existing CLI capabilities. The 8.9 release introduces new RTP masking and VN-TAG de-encapsulation. The CLI exposes these features as the underlying service capabilities establish the platform’s functional core. Additionally, version 8.9 modernizes existing workflows by replacing legacy interfaces for Managed Services and Rule Groups with a streamlined, updated design.
