26.1 enhancements and patches

26.1.00

Use agentic AI capabilities to get insights into patching operations.

Administrators with the BLAdmins role can use TSSA Operations Analyzer directly from Microsoft Teams to gain actionable insights into patching operations. TSSA Operations Analyzer analyzes live data from the TrueSight Server Automation database and surfaces relevant insights within the Teams interface. This integration eliminates the need to switch between multiple consoles, review logs, or run reports. By using natural‑language queries in a Teams chat, administrators can quickly obtain contextual information about patching activities. Operations Analyzer helps identify patching failures by highlighting affected jobs and servers, enabling faster issue assessment and quicker corrective actions. This enhancement improves operational visibility and accelerates troubleshooting, allowing administrators to respond to patching issues more efficiently. For more information, see Using the TrueSight Server Automation Operations Analyzer to get insights into patching operations. Microsoft Teams chat shows TSSA Operations Analyzer reporting patch compliance and server counts by operating system.

Restrict user access and job execution during maintenance with the Infrastructure Blackout Window

As an administrator, use the Infrastructure Blackout Window to automatically restrict user logins and job execution during planned maintenance in your TrueSight Server Automation environment. Instead of manually coordinating access, enable a single blackout window to block unauthorized users and their scheduled jobs. Users or roles in the allowlist can continue to perform limited operations for validation. After an administrator enables the Infrastructure Blackout Window, the system automatically enforces the restrictions consistently across the TrueSight Server Automation Console, BLCLI, and REST APIs, helping ensure safe upgrades and stable maintenance activities. For more information, see Infrastructure Blackout Window.

Managing the Infrastructure Blackout Window configuration using BLCLI

You can now use BLCLI to configure and manage the Infrastructure Blackout Window by defining authorized users, enabling or disabling the blackout window, and configuring or retrieving custom login messages. These commands help administrators control user access during planned maintenance or upgrade activities. For more information, see InfraBlackoutWindow BLCLI in the TrueSight Server Automation Command Line Interface documentation.
