Developer Roll Up: October 2021

The development roll up this month hints at some of the big improvements we have planned for the web application. Getting new users onto the platform doing the things they came to do quickly and easily is the central theme. LimaCharlie is working to make it easy and intuitive to create the scalable security solutions you need.

Enhanced Rule Validation

We've deployed enhanced rule validation for D&R rules. Previously we had some cases where we did not validate the structure of a rule until runtime, and in some cases without producing errors.

The new validation means you may start seeing errors pushing rules to LimaCharlie from rules which previously did not generate errors, if those rules do in fact contain errors.

This does not prevent previously working rules from working, it merely highlights rules that were already having issues.

Feel free to get in touch if you have questions related to those errors.

Web Application Onboarding & ‘Add Sensor’ Flow

In an effort to make it easier than ever to get sensors deployed, especially for folks just starting out, we've created an Add Sensor flow which you can find from the Sensors page. No more jumping between pages for keys / downloads / checking for successful deployments. None of the old stuff has changed or been removed (yet) so don't worry if you've got a flow that you're happy with.

If you use groups to manage user permissions across organizations, you may also notice the groups are missing from the front page of the app. We wanted to focus the front page on orgs, so groups got moved. You can find them inside the Settings menu under "Manage Groups".
