Version 5

Hyperview 5.1 (Aug 22, 2025)

This section covers significant changes and bug fixes in Hyperview 5.1.x since version 5.0.x

Important

  1. This release has changes and improvements to the Data Collector software. We strongly recommend updating your installed Data Collectors to the latest version to maintain an optimal monitoring and discovery experience.

  2. Customers using Hyperview open-source tools such as hvcli/asset tool must update to the latest version.

New Licensed Feature: Accelerated Polling

This feature allows administrators to specify sub-five minute polling periods up to once every minute.

Note

Please contact the Hyperview sales or support teams for more information.

Enhanced Feature: 2D, 3D, Map, Multi-Rack and Rack Layout

The 2D layout editor has been improved to allow for snapping to rack. This will improve the UX of placing multiple racks next to each other by allowing for more precise placement.

The 2D layout editor has been improved to auto-hide the controls while drawing a grid.

A new Custom Property filter was added to the View menu of the Rack and Location 2D, 3D, Map and Multi-Rack layout section. This will allow Hyperview users to filter and report on various ad-hoc data in the system.

For example, If you have a custom property that classifies assets by network location, such DMZ, Production or Test, and you have that data captured in Hyperview, you will be able to create a report that would quickly visualize the location and distribution of assets that carry these properties.

Please refer to the Hyperview product documentation and user guide for more information.

Enhanced Feature: Asset Dashboard

This new widget (Associations) displays asset association to business entities, linked sensors, power providers and network connections and circuits. It provides one view to see these dependencies and connections in one place.

Enhanced Feature: Catalog

This feature improves the usability of the catalog by allowing users that want to customize existing models to easily clone existing data and perform the needed customization, for example, change product images.

Enhanced Feature: Chart time range selector

The time range selector for charts has been improved to add support for local-time and UTC time ranges. Previously, the time range selector allowed only for UTC based time ranges. Once selected, the chart will show the selected option.

Enhanced Feature: Data Grids

Grid double click action has been improved to be more consistent and available on more data grids. This will improve the navigation experience within the product.

Grids now support two modes. The first is adaptive mode (the current default), where rows adjust to display applicable data based on the screen width. The second is non-adaptive mode, which enables horizontal scrolling to accommodate extra columns. Switch between modes using the button next to the grid column selector.

Enhanced Feature: DC Power / Rectifier Support

A new asset type called DC Rectifier has been added to support DC-powered data centers.

The discovery engine has been enhanced to add support for DC rectifier discovery and monitoring.

The power analysis engine for location has also been improved to take DC power in various power analysis pipelines if configured to do so.

Enhanced Feature: Localization

French language support has been added to the product UI.

Enhanced Feature: Manual Sensors

Customers that are managing the telemetry from temperature and humidity sensors can now add more than one sensor per device. Prior to this release assets were limited to one manual temperature and humidity sensor.

Enhanced Feature: Patch Panel Management

Support for patch panels has been enhanced. Modular patch panels can now have extra metadata that would make it easier to manage and report on slot number, module information and other useful attributes.

Port naming has been improved to allow for an extra expansion variable for the slot number.

Enhanced Feature: Rack Management

Blanking panels and cable management have been added as rack accessories. This will allow Hyperview users to visualize them in rack elevations.

A Tools menu has been added to the Rack Layout page to allow Hyperview users to manage the placement of these accessories.

Please refer to the Hyperview product documentation and user guide for more information.

Other notable changes and improvements

  • Occupied units: Racked devices should display the occupied rack unit range for the asset.

  • Asset tag for component: Custom components can now have an optional asset tag property.

  • Direct rack sensor linking: Directly detected rack sensors can now be linked to a specific position in a rack.

  • Work Orders access has been limited to Power Users and above roles.

  • The Quick Search panel has been improved to increase speed. Furthermore, help text was added to highlight fuzzy versus exact-match search queries.

Notable bug fixes

  • AS-18152 Fixed a bug that caused certain data coming from external integration not to appear in advanced search.

  • AS-17991 Fixed a bug that caused the wrong location name to be displayed in the discovery report.

  • AS-17260 Fixed a bug that caused asset bulk import to fail on certain assets.

  • AS-16208 Fixed a bug that caused the data grid in adaptive mode not to display information if the cell data is very long.

Changes in version 5.1.1

  • AS-18717 Fixed a misconfiguration in one of the default location dashboard widgets.
