New Features/Devices Supported in 6.5 15
• More configuration options have been added to the expanded Traffic Flow
portlet. Users can now choose whether or not to use cache tables for queries and
also whether to put a limit on how many conversational flows per minute should
be processed. Both of these options give more flexibility in dealing with high-
volume scenarios. These options were available in previous versions, but
activating them required users to edit text files and restart the server. They are
now fully configurable through the GUI. (27323)
• The portlet settings button, which shows a wrench icon and through which users
can edit the settings for portlets, are now only accessible for users who have the
“Change Portlet Settings” permission. On upgrade, no users will have this
permission. This is by design, because the intent is for the system administrator
to consider which users (more specifically, which user roles) should be able to
change portlet settings and which users should not have access to this feature.

• OMNM can now display information gathered by OpenManage Essentials (OME).
If you are already using OME to manage computer systems such as servers, etc.
then it is possible to configure OMNM to synchronize with OME so that all of
your data is available through OMNM. (28617)
• OME integration includes the option to poll for alerts from OME, which then
appears as events and/or alarms in OMNM, but not all attributes of the alerts in
OME will translate to attributes in OMNM. For instance, if an OME alert was
acknowledged then this would not cause the equivalent OMNM alarm to also be
automatically acknowledged. (29208)
• You can configure OMNM to synchronize with the warranty information in the
Dell EMC database for each Dell EMC device that is under management. (28909)
• If it happens that there is a communication failure between the system and an
external server or remote service, it now creates an alarm that records what failed
and what operations were impacted by the failure. This includes attempts to
communicate with an external file server, email server, HTTP proxy server, or a
remote website. (29488)

Resolved Defects and Known Issues
• When upgrading to OMNM 6.5 the default trial package automatically installs
the trial license increasing the allowable managed device count by 25. This
additional 25 are free to use but will expire 30 days from installation returning
the device count back the original subscription device count. A notification
banner shows that 25 will be expiring in X days. (29012)
• Initial discovery of Cisco XR devices could fail while configuring the SNMP trap
settings on the device. This could be because the application couldn't login to the
devices as the number of cli sessions to the device was maxed out. If this
happens, the snmp trap setting can be done by running the snmp task from the
actions portlet against the xr device. (29389)
