Wanguard 7.2 New Features

Wanguard 7.2 brings the following new features and changes:

• Adds support for storing graph data in InfluxDB, as an alternative to using RRD files. InfluxDB is the storage engine that we recommend for the following reasons:
  • Adding and deleting decoders for IP graphs does not reset the existing data
  • It enables High Availability setups with graph data stored on redundant, remote InfluxDB servers
  • It is much more space efficient in most configurations
  • Is compatible with our own rendering engine which generates better-looking graphs
  • It allows an easy integration with other third-party products such as Grafana
  • RRDTool support might be deprecated in the future
• Adds support for Debian 10
• Adds many visual improvements to the "Flat" theme
• Adds support for DPDK 18.11.02
• The installation scripts use by default a text-based user interface which can be disabled with the "cli" parameter
• In Reports the Time Frame selector was moved to the right, next to the Refresh selector
• Many other minor improvements and bugfixes
