- Redesigned
All Alerts
table for enhanced alert management experience.
- A new
Where Used
option is now available to identify where a particular object is referenced or utilized. For example, a cloud is selected in multiple objects like virtual services or pools.
Web Application Firewall
- IP Reputation Service: Support for Webroot IPv6 feed.
- A new debug flag,
DEBUG_VS_WAF_RULE_METRICS
