You can now select the Limited access permission scope for Business Monitoring while managing user groups. Users in a group with limited access can view only the business perspectives and processes to which they are explicitly granted access. For more information, see Manage user access.

A new Synthetic monitoring endpoint is available to retrieve metrics of Synthetic test results. With this API, you can group the results by tags other than the Synthetic test ID. By default, the test results are grouped by test ID. For more information, see OpenAPI.

Threshold on table widget

You can add a threshold to the table widget in a custom dashboard to highlight values that exceed or fall under certain levels. Setting a threshold adds a visual color-coded indicator for metrics and helps spot warning and critical values. For more information, see Setting a threshold to widgets in custom dashboard.

Agent Helm chart v2.0.2

The Agent Helm chart was released in version 2.0.2. The main change in the 2.x branch is the installation of a Kubernetes operator.
