Skylar AI 2.2.0 Release Notes

Version 2.2.0 of Skylar AI provides access to Skylar Advisor and Skylar Analytics, which each require a separate license.

This release includes a number of new updates to improve performance in Skylar Advisor and Skylar Analytics and enhancements to dashboards in Skylar Analytics, and updates to the Corpus page in Skylar Advisor.

The following table lists the minimum and recommended versions of ScienceLogic software required for Skylar AI and its components:

Product Minimum Version Recommended Version
Skylar One 12.3.2 12.5.6 or later
AP2 8.18.43-81 (Jelly Bean) 8.34.20 (Opera Cake) or later

Skylar Advisor currently requires Skylar Analytics.

Features in Version 2.2.0

The following features are included in this release of Skylar AI:

  • The "Event Trends (Sample)" dashboard in the Data Visualization component of Skylar Analytics now displays the Policy Name instead of the Policy ID, making the dashboard easier to read and understand.

  • Added the ServiceNow record ID (external_id) to the "BusinessServices" dataset in the Data Visualization component of Skylar Analytics. This ID enables reporting and integrations to reliably correlate Business Services with their originating ServiceNow records. The filter_guid and search_additional_orgs values were also added.

  • On the Data Lens page in Skylar Advisor, the new Advisories tab lists all Advisories in a table. The page also now includes an Event Groups tab that lists the events that were used to create an Advisory. Both tabs include an Investigation button that you can click to create an Investigation based on that Advisory.

  • When filtering content on a page in the Skylar Advisor user interface, the filters that are currently in use display at the top of the page.

  • On the Corpus page in Skylar Advisor, you can now upload documents that have file names greater than 64 characters.

  • In the Skylar Advisor user interface, the Super User toolbar that displays at the top of the window for super users has a toggle button that you can click to hide or show the toolbar.

  • This release includes a number of updates to improve processing time and overall performance for Skylar Analytics.

Issues Addressed in Version 2.2.0

The following issue was addressed in this release:

  • Addressed an issue where Skylar One events were missing from the Event Lens page in Skylar Advisor, preventing the corresponding Advisories from being generated. (Jira ID: SKY-3514)

  • Addressed an issue with the formatting of the text in an Advisory in Skylar Advisor. (Jira ID: SKY-3717)

Known Issues

This release has the following known issues:

  • If you had customized tables and views in an older version of the Data Visualization component of Skylar Analytics, that data will not display correctly if you upgrade to Skylar AI version 2.1.0. Any tables and views created in the local database require that the "InstID" and "OrgID" columns contain data for related datasets, charts, and dashboards to be functional. You should not experience this issue if your tables and views in the local database contain values in the "InstID" and "OrgID" columns. (Jira ID: SKY-3824)
  • The "Interface Statistics (Sample)" dashboard was deprecated with Skylar AI version 2.0.0. A Skylar AI administrator will need to remove this dashboard on the Manage Bundles tab of the Dashboards page ( > Analytics > Settings > Dashboard Mgmt). (Jira ID: SKY-2822)
  • A Skylar AI instance can ingest telemetry from multiple external sources, but only one Skylar One system should be configured to send telemetry to that Skylar AI instance to prevent data collisions and potential data corruption. To avoid this situation, do not reuse a Skylar AI authentication token with more than one Skylar One systems that are sending data to that Skylar AI instance. (Jira ID: SKY-3538)
  • Skylar AI uses unique PowerPack naming conventions for creating datasets in the Data Visualization component. If you change the name of a PowerPack, Skylar AI triggers a new dataset, which will cause charts to fail and lose the historical data for that PowerPack. At this time, ScienceLogic recommends that you do not rename any PowerPacks in Skylar One if that Skylar One system is connected to a Skylar environment.
