Download Logs

• You can now download the execution, trace, and custom component logs.

Improved Lookup Functionality

• The lookup functionality now supports fuzzy lookup

New Statistical Analysis Capabilities

• Introducing multiple non-parametric tests for hypothesis testing like the Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney test, One Sample Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, Chi-square test, and the ability to measure the direction of the relationship between two variables using the covariance node.

Machine Learning Optimizations

• The machine learning algorithms for stepwise linear regression, categorical Naïve Bayes, and word embedding for textual algorithm processing are optimized.

Rubisight

Asynchronous Caching

• Rubisight now supports asynchronous caching for widget data exploration.

Conditional Show/Hide Charts

• The users can show/hide charts based on conditions using data columns.

Export Dashboards to PPT

• Users can export the Rubisight dashboards in PPT format.

Hierarchy in Date/Time

• Auto-generated hierarchies for Date/Date-Time columns.

Interchanging Dimensions and Measures

• Rubisight now allows you to change the dimensions to measures and vice-versa.

Transparent Background

• You can now configure the chart backgrounds as transparent for improved customizations and formatting.

Replace Datasets

• Rubisight allows users to replace a dataset with matching column names and data types.

Percentage Calculation for Measures

• The percentage option is now available for all the widgets in Rubisight when the user selects the aggregation method for data columns used as measures.

Advanced Sorting Techniques

• Additional sorting options, including custom sorting, are now available for widgets in Rubisight.
• Users can perform field-level sorting on fields that may be absent in the widget configuration.
• List sorting options like ascending, descending, and custom lists are now available.

Page Navigation on the same dashboard

• Users can navigate to different pages within the same dashboard by clicking on a hyperlink value within the same tab.

Calculation of Total and Sub-Total

• Flexibility to calculate the total for both rows and columns is now available. Users can now enable/disable total and grand total separately.

Min/Max Filters

• Users can filter date-time data types for minimum and maximum values.
   

Rubithings

Provision for unstructured data

• Registered things can manage both structured and unstructured data. Structured data is stored in tables using Postgres.
• Unstructured data is stored in separate document stores or file systems using MongoDB.

Real-time Data Visualization

• It is introduced with visualization charts and gauges like line charts, Solid gauges, and Speedometers.

Introducing Gateway Data Template

• Users can define data templates for more than one thing using a gateway template.

Handling Failure Scenario for Broker

• When the broker is down, thing data is stored locally. When the broker is up, data stored locally and live data are sent to the broker queue simultaneously.
