What's new in Version 1.1.6.1

Software released: 31 January 2020
Documentation updated: 31 January 2020
New probe and gateway containers
The Agile Service Manager core installation now includes new probe and gateway containers, which are installed together with the other core components, and replace the previous manual XML Gateway for Event Observer and Netcool/OMNIbus probe for Message Bus deployments.
You no longer define a job for the Event Observer, as events from the gateway will now be automatically read from Kafka. You do, however, perform probe and gateway configuration tasks for both on-prem and OCP installations.

New hybrid scenario documentation
The configuration documentation has been created for a hybrid on-prem / OCP system, where the Agile Service Manager core components have been installed on RedHat OpenShift Container Platform, while the UI is installed into, and accessed via, the on-prem Netcool Operations Insight DASH portlet.
The new topics include probe and gateway configuration instructions to facilitate data exchange between Agile Service Manager and Netcool/OMNIbus.
