What's New in NSM SaaS

  • NSM 2.3.4-1 is now integrated with an analytics tool to collect anonymized data to understand the user interactions with NSM workflows better and improve the product utility by delivering relevant new features using this data. Administrators will see a consent box to opt in/out of this feature on logging into NSM where they can enable the “Allow NSM to collect anonymized usage data” button to opt in. They can always enable or disable this option from the User Profile page at any time.
  • Starting NSM 2.3.4-1, a user will be able to view System Event after upgrading GEN7 firewalls to SonicOS 7.0.1-5080 or higher and followed by re-configuring reporting and analytics. Please refer to the Reporting and Analytics Guide for more details. To view System Event from a firewall in NSM, it should have NSM advanced license.
