Headline Features
Real-time Metrics Reporting
We've released a new troubleshooting feature that allows you to examine raw data collected by Skylight, which is great for troubleshooting specific session performances. Now, when a provisioning change is made, you can quickly validate the performance of the session. Note: This feature is currently limited to our CSMs and the plan is to make it available for tenant Admin users very soon.
Native Support for Cisco MDT Data
The 23.11 release provides native ingestion of Cisco's Model Driven Telemetry (MDT) as part of the Skylight solution without the engagement of PS (Professional Services) custom development. While not ready for general availability, we are making progress towards the goal of allowing you to configure the ingestion for any MDT sensor path and metric. Stay tuned!
Roadrunner Polling High Availability
In many cases, Roadrunner polls "exporters" (i.e. for SNMP devices) and this third party data do not always get pushed to Analytics. When a failure occurs, Analytics informs the standby Roadrunner to go active and to start polling and reporting. As a result, with high availability Roadrunner deployment, you can avoid missing polling intervals.

The sensor capture now contains a database of common SaaS application definitions that is updated every major release. When enabled, the application will be auto-detected and classified. Over 5000 applications are currently available in this release.
Sensor Agents Session Scheduling
Schedule your sensor agents for trace and throughput tests via the API or the UI.
