F5 NGINX One Console June Features

Introduction

We are happy to announce the new set of F5 NGINX One Console features that were released in June:
•    Fleet Visibility Alerts
•    Import/Export for Staged Configurations

The F5 NGINX One Console is a central management service in the F5 Distributed Cloud. It makes it easier to deploy, manage, monitor, and operate F5 NGINX. It is available to all NGINX and Distributed Cloud subscribers and is included as a part of your subscription. If you have any questions on how to access, please reach out to your F5 Customer Success or Account team.

Fleet Visibility Alerts

The NGINX One Console will now be creating Alerts for important notifications related to your NGINX fleet. For example, if a connected NGINX instance has an insecure configuration or an instance is impacted by a newly announced Critical Vulnerability, an Alert will be generated. Using Distributed Cloud’s robust Alerting system, you can configure notifications of your choice to be sent to your preferred system such as SMS, email, Slack, Pager Duty, webhook, etc.

Find the full list of Alerts here: https://docs.cloud.f5.com/docs-v2/platform/reference/alerts-reference

Import/Export for Staged Configurations

Effortlessly share your configurations with the new import/export. This feature makes it easier to work together. You can share configurations quickly with teammates, F5 support, or the community. You can also easily import configurations from others. Whether you're fine-tuning configurations for your team or seeking advice, this update makes sharing and receiving configurations simple and efficient.

This also allows those who prefer the NGINX One Console configuration editing experience but operate in dark or air-gapped environments, an easy way to move configurations from the NGINX One Console to your instance. You can craft and refine configurations within the NGINX One Console, then export them for deployment in isolated instances without hassle. Similarly, it lets you easily export configurations from the Console and import them into F5 NGINXaas for Azure.

The process is highly flexible and intuitive:

• Create new Staged Configurations by importing configuration files directly as a .tar.gz archive via the UI or API.
• Export Staged Configurations with just one click or API call, generating a .tar.gz archive that’s ready to be unpacked and applied wherever you need your configuration files.
