New Features and Enhancements

The following new features and enhancements are included in this release:

DNS Server and DNS Trace tests now support TCP as the transport layer protocol. This is configurable in Advanced Settings, and is also available in the API as dnsTransportProtocol.
Tests can now override the Enterprise Agent’s IP policy. This is also available in the API as ipv6Policy.
SSO audience restriction logic now allows arbitrary restriction URLs, for customers with a large number of organizations. This enables an organization to specify a unique suffix that identifies one organization from another.
Granular information has been added to the usage API to improve parity between metered (Enterprise Agent) information and current Unit usage.
Device layer functionality is now included as a feature of the Enterprise Agent.
Note: Device licenses are no longer required. The ThousandEyes account management team will be reaching out to existing customers with device layer licenses to determine next steps.
Virtual interfaces are now visible in Devices views.
Interface type column added to Devices table views.

Added an Internet Insights knowledge-base link to terminal node tool tips.
Error notifications are now displayed if adding / removing Internet Insights packages using the buttons in the package and catalog entry tables fails.

The Transaction Recorder now supports pausing / resuming script playback. The Recorder also displays the line number the script reached when playback was paused.
Synthetic Transactions now supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) via an API that generates a Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) token that is given the authentication secret.

The following issues have been fixed in this release:

Fixed an issue causing duplicate entries in waterfall views.
Fixed an issue where widgets could not be renamed when configuring a scheduled snapshot.
Fixed an issue in some Endpoint Agent environments where waterfall views were not generated.
