NetEye 4.47 Release Notes
Welcome to version 4.47 of our NetEye v4 Unified Monitoring Platform.
As you log in, you’ll be greeted by the Rittner Horn at sunset, overlooking the valleys of South Tyrol as warm evening light settles across the landscape. The rugged silhouettes of the mountains are softened by gentle shades of pink and gold. Considered one of South Tyrol’s most panoramic viewpoints, the Rittner Horn offers a breathtaking 360‑degree view of the surrounding region.

NetEye Update & Upgrade Improvements
Reduced Downtime: Nodes No Longer Put in Standby
Nodes are no longer put in standby during updates and upgrades. This means fewer service restarts, better load distribution across cluster nodes, and improved overall availability and performance throughout the process.
New Option: --download-only
A brand new option --download-only has been introduced for the update and upgrade commands.
When specified, the procedure downloads all required update packages without installing them. This allows administrators to prepare systems in advance and perform the actual installation at a later time.
This option is particularly useful ahead of scheduled maintenance windows, as it reduces the time required on the day of the maintenance by pre-fetching the necessary packages.
Check out our updated User Guide to learn more!
New Option: --disable-rhel-repos
The new --disable-rhel-repos option allows updates and upgrades to proceed even when Red Hat repositories are unavailable. With this option, NetEye packages are updated while OS-level package updates are skipped, removing an external dependency that could otherwise block the process.
See the updated User Guide for details.
NetEye Backup and Restore
NetEye Backup and Restore
NetEye 4.47 brings a major expansion to our built-in backup and restore functionality — giving you broader coverage for disaster recovery scenarios right out of the box.
This release adds native support for several key services:
- Keycloak
- All Icinga Web 2 modules
- Tornado
- Grafana
- Icinga 2
These additions mean fewer gaps in your recovery plan and less reliance on manual workarounds. Whether you’re responding to hardware failures or preparing for routine maintenance, NetEye’s built-in tooling now has you covered across a wider range of your stack.
Unified Monitoring
IcingaDB Migration
Multiple modules have been successfully migrated from the legacy IDO/Monitoring data source to IcingaDB as part of the ongoing platform modernization.
This migration is completely transparent, no user action is required, and all existing configurations continue to work without any changes.
Migrated Modules
- Custom Problem View
- Alyvix
- Command Orchestrator
- Lampo
- Geomap
- Shutdown Manager
IcingaDB Historical Data Migration
To take full advantage of IcingaDB’s performance and reliability in modules that depend on historical monitoring data (such as the History views and the SLM module), you can migrate your existing historical data to IcingaDB after upgrading to NetEye 4.47. This can be done using the automated procedure described in our User Guide.
Please note that performing this migration will be mandatory before upgrading to NetEye 4.48. Systems that have not completed the migration will not be eligible for upgrade to 4.48.
Once the historical data has been migrated, administrators can easily choose whether the History views and SLM module should retrieve data from the legacy IDO database or from IcingaDB by using the IcingaDB Historical Data Feature Flag available in the NetEye Web interface.
Enabling the IcingaDB Historical Data Feature Flag allows SLM to use IcingaDB as its data source, bringing the following benefits to SLM Reports:
- Millisecond‑level precision in availability calculations (previously limited to seconds)
- Higher accuracy in cases where historical events are removed due to retention policies (more details available in the User Guide)
Geomap Fields Migration
Some IDO fields available in the Map fields section of the Maps Configurator will be removed, as they do not have corresponding fields in IcingaDB. Before upgrading to NetEye 4.47, please manually update your map configurations to use supported IcingaDB fields. A complete list of the removed fields is available in our User Guide.
Migration of Tenant-specific Grafana Data Sources
To ensure continued support for Grafana dashboards that rely on Tenant-specific monitoring data, all Tenant-specific Grafana data sources have been migrated from Icinga IDO to IcingaDB.
If you are currently using tenant-specific IDO data sources, your existing dashboards can be migrated easily. A step-by-step migration guide is available in the dedicated section of the User Guide.
Elastic Stack
Elastic Stack updated to version 9.3
To ensure all Elastic SIEM and Observability users benefit from the latest features, performance enhancements and bug fixes, NetEye has upgraded the Elastic Stack from version 9.2 to version 9.3.
This update introduces exciting features like the Elastic Workflows, GPU-accelerated vector indexing, Elastic Agent Builder is now GA and much more.
