Welcome to the Provider Connectivity Assurance Iterative Release Note, stay tuned and find out what is included in each bi-weekly delivery.
Important Update
As of March 2025, Provider Connectivity Assurance will move towards an approximately bi-weekly delivery cadence for cloud customers. This new strategy enables us to be more responsive and increase our agility in providing new functionalities. In addition to feature enhancements and new functionality, the bi-weekly cloud deliveries will continue to include maintenance and security updates.
On Premise Customers
Provider Connectivity Assurance will release on-prem bi-annually, with maintenance releases available as required. Our next on-prem release is targeted for summer 2025.
Sensor Compatibility
Provider Connectivity Assurance (both on-prem and SaaS) supports sensors dating back two bi-annual releases, currently 25.02 and 24.09 are supported.
Sensor type | Lowest supported revision |
---|---|
agent actuate | 24.09 |
agent throughput | 24.09 |
agent trace | 24.09 |
agent transfer | 24.09 |
sensor capture | 24.09 |

Fixes
25.2.189
Sensor Collector: 0.601.0
To support security improvements in Sensor Collector 0.601.0, customers must update their Docker version to 23.0.0 or higher.
Upgrading your Collector: While upgrading to version 0.601.0 is highly recommended, it is optional. If you choose to upgrade to version 0.601.0 (supported with Deployer 25.2.189 and above), you will need to update your Docker version to 23.0.0.
Remaining on an older version: If you opt to stay on the last compatible version (0.590.0 or lower), no Docker upgrade is required.
Please plan accordingly to ensure compatibility and security.

New Features and Enhancements
Splunk Alerting
This feature enables the automatic export of alerts from Provider Connectivity Assurance to Splunk, offering a consolidated view of service health by combining alerts from multiple sources. This integration enhances incident response times by centralizing alert management, ensuring your team can act swiftly.
See article here
Platform Certificate Management
The platform's certificate management updates support customers using their own certificates, ensuring alignment with security standards and enhancing operational trust. It includes tailored certificate management to support multi-tenant deployments, ensuring each tenant's requirements are met without compromising security or compliance. Important topics include:
Trust Chains Align client certificates with customer-provided ones for enhanced security.
Certificate Renewal: Use tools for easy renewal to avoid disruptions.
OCSP Support: Efficiently manage revocations to ensure certificate validity.
Implementation Tips Regularly check cryptographic standards and use secure vaults for certificate storage to protect data and streamline management.
Notification Center
To keep you better informed, Provider Connectivity Assurance will send you notifications of important system level events. You'll be able to see them by clicking on a new bell icon in the header navigation bar. Once acknowledged, notifications will be accessible through the "Archived" tab.
Transitioning Baseline Bins: Ratio to Percentage
This feature allows for conversion of dashboard widget baseline bin values from ratios to percentages to improve data interpretation and decision-making. This can be achieved using the Percentage/Ratio Conversion Dialog or via the Notification Center.
