SexiGraf 0.99g “Ravenholm” is out!

Today we are proud to announce the release of the seventh SexiGraf version: 0.99g codename “Ravenholm”

In this new version, we’ve added the “official” support for the new vSphere and vSAN 7.0 U1 APIs.

Since VMware announced the depreciation of Perl SDK, we’ve included Powershell and PowerCLI core in the SexiGraf appliance and started to work on code-switching from Perl.

vSphere Automation SDK for Perl and vSphere Automation SDK for .NET have been deprecated on August 25, 2020. VMware will stop supporting these SDKs after one year of this announcement.

  • Grafana 7.3.x
  • Graphite 1.1.x
  • Support for pfSense (via Telegraf plugin)
  • Support for S.M.A.R.T. data (via custom script)
  • Based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

As stated in the previous release notes, SexiGraf now only comes in new ova appliance, no more patches (unless extreme emergency).
To migrate, you have to use the Export/Import feature to pull out your data from your previous SexiGraf appliance and push it to a new one.

If you are new to SexiGraf, the latest appliance is already available on the Quickstart page.
