Release Notes for Cisco Catalyst Center Global Manager, Release 1.3.1

Ease of setup

First-time setup

As part of the first-time setup, after you log in with your new user account and accept the Cisco General Terms (formerly known as the End User License Agreement (EULA)), cisco.com registration is triggered automatically.

Note: For the first-time setup, ensure that you:

·       use the valid cisco.com user ID for completing the registration and controller enrollment workflow.

·       enable the pop-ups for the page in the browser.

For more information, see "Log in to Catalyst Center Global Manager and run it" in the Cisco Catalyst Center Global Manager Deployment Guide.

Ease of setup

MemberID-based controller enrollment

After you complete the first-time setup, use the streamlined enrollment navigation in Catalyst Center Global Manager to add controllers and complete the enrollment.

By default, this navigation shows an overview with workflow instructions for controller registration, and system monitoring.

After completing the first-time setup of Catalyst Center Global Manager, when you log in to the Catalyst Center, you receive general instructions to enroll a controller if there is no controller enrolled.

As part of the Catalyst Center enrollment process, you must create an entry for the Catalyst Center in Catalyst Center Global Manager by adding a controller. To add a controller, enter the member ID of the Catalyst Center along with the controller’s IP address or FQDN in Catalyst Center Global Manager to complete the enrollment process. Once the controller is enrolled, all the Catalyst Center Global Manager features get enabled for the user.

Note:

·       Member ID is a global unique identifier for each instance of the controller that gets assigned when it gets created and is registered with the Catalyst Center Global Manager Cloud.

·       You need to have a valid email id registered with cisco.com to complete the enrollment.

For more information on enrolling and deleting a controller, see "Enroll Catalyst Center to Catalyst Center Global Manager for the first time” in the Cisco Catalyst Center Global Manager Deployment Guide.

Ease of use

Situational dashboards

The Situational Dashboards let you create custom dashboards by selecting up to 15 of the 32 pre-built dashlets available in Catalyst Center Global Manager. Each dashboard is specific to an individual user.

Note: This feature is in beta.

Key functionalities include:

·       Dedicated creation interface: A new menu option provides access to the dashboard creation page.

·       Custom dashboard creation: Users can assign a unique name to each new dashboard.

·       Flexible dashlet integration: Up to 15 dashlets can be added to a single dashboard at once.

·       Organized dashlet selection: Dashlets are grouped logically by category or section for easy discovery and selection.

For more information, see "Situational Dashboard" in the Cisco Catalyst Center Global Manager Deployment Guide.

Ease of use

Page error aggregation

All the second-level pages, including Alerts, Device infrastructure (Health, Software-Defines Access, and End-of-life Devices), Endpoints, and Situational Dashboards display a Loading complete progress indicator.

The progress bar is:

• Green- If page loading is successful and it will vanish in five seconds.

• Blue- While page loading is in progress.

• Red- If page loading fails, error explanation will be displayed via a link-click/side panel pop-out.

For more information, see "Monitor from the overview dashboard" in the Cisco Catalyst Center Global Manager Deployment Guide.

Base functionality

End-of-life devices

The End-of-life (EoL) devices feature provides information about Cisco devices that have reached or are approaching their EoL status. It includes critical hardware and software expiration dates to assist with lifecycle management. This feature parallels the EoX (End-of-Life) functionality in Catalyst Center, delivering comprehensive reports on device lifecycle milestones to support product upgrade and replacement planning.

Note: This feature is in beta.

Support for this feature required Catalyst Center Global Manager-managed Catalyst Centers to be upgraded to software version later than 2.3.7.10 and 3.1.5 build.

For more information, see "End-of-Life" in the Cisco Catalyst Center Global Manager Deployment Guide.

Base functionality enhancement

Data export

The data export feature in Catalyst Center Global Manager allows you to export all the table data by generating CSV files containing all matching records. You can apply filters to refine the data before exporting. The export process runs in the background, and upon completion, users receive a toast notification and can download the CSV file through their browser. The GUI displays only the five most recent exports per user. These recent exports are accessible via the Download Report tab, even after logging off or session timeout.

Note: This feature is in beta.

Currently, export functionality is supported only for the Device Health table under Device Infrastructure > Health. Each user can run one export at a time. The export files are retained for three days before automatic pruning. Export duration may vary depending on record volume, server load, and network latency. You can also cancel an in-progress export. This feature enhances data accessibility and management efficiency within Catalyst Center Global Manager.

For more information, see "Device health" in the Cisco Catalyst Center Global Manager Deployment Guide.
