OpenEdge Command Center 1.2 delivers the following enhancements:

Support for OpenTelemetry Metrics

In this release, System Administrators can monitor the performance metrics of the following OpenEdge resources using OpenEdge Command Center agents:
  • PAS for OpenEdge
  • OpenEdge database
The performance metrics are collected using the OpenTelemetry (OTel) standard, which is a vendor-agnostic and open-source technology. This feature provides system administrators and DevOps Engineers the flexibility to choose an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) platform, such as Elastic APM, Dynatrace, NewRelic, and so on, to monitor the PAS for OpenEdge instances and OpenEdge database, and view the performance metrics. System Administrators can use these metrics to understand performance issues and accordingly tune their OpenEdge resources for optimal performance.
Collecting performance metrics involves installing and configuring the following components:
  • OpenEdge Command Center agent
  • OpenTelemetry Collector
  • Optionally, APM tools

For more information, see Monitor OpenEdge resources using the OpenEdge Command Center agent.

Enhanced PAS for OpenEdge Management

In this release, System Administrators can clone a PAS for OpenEdge instance to quickly create an identical instance for load balancing. The intuitive user interface enables System Administrators to specify details, such as instance name, labels, and OpenEdge installations, for cloning a PAS for OpenEdge instance. In addition, System Administrators can specify the cloned instances to start after they are created and can create up to eight identical PAS for OpenEdge instances in a single clone operation.

For more information, see Clone a PAS for OpenEdge instance.

Windows Installer

In this release, System Administrators can install the OpenEdge Command Center server on the Windows platform using a Windows installer. With this installer, System Administrators can easily install the OpenEdge Command Center server on a Windows machine without performing the manual steps of configuring MongoDB settings and editing several JSON files, which were required while using the ZIP package to install the server. The Windows installer enables the System Administrators to:
  • Set up OpenEdge Command Center as a Windows service.
  • Set up OpenEdge Command Center for high availability configurations, which helps ensure service availability during planned or unplanned maintenance outages.
  • Install OpenEdge Command Center in the silent mode.
