What's new

Straight from Matmon's public repository: new things first, fixes folded away. Every change ships to the nightly channel at once and to the releases soon after.

  • NewUpdate screen and offline page carry the Matmon logo: logo over a rule, the versions in a quiet panel; the offline page shows a plug and keeps the logo in the service worker's …

  • NewAPI tokens: a new token is made on a page of its own (/system/api-tokens/new); the list shows the secret once afterwards
  • NewImport from PRTG (API MVP): connect with a token, preview what each sensor becomes, import folders, hosts and sensors under a probe or folder
  • NewThe instance menu is one flat list, without the Setup heading (the cloud console mirrors it)
  • NewDiscovery: Running only while scans run; the button is Start discovery, under the jobs
  • NewUpdate screen: the old version above the new one, an arrow pointing down between them (version labels are long)
  • NewSensors view narrowed to one probe (monitoringProbe), opened from the Probes page in the view used last
  • NewAPI tokens and a maintenance-window API for CI/CD
  • NewMatUi 0.9.3 with the select from the server (FORM-25); docs: lists that can grow are searched on the server
