Okta and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) SCIM Support

The Okta and Microsoft Entra ID SSO integrations with BigPanda soon will have built-in support for System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM), allowing you to easily handle the user lifecycle management process. As users onboard, offboard, or change roles, you will be able to provision or deprovision BigPanda accounts from within Okta or Microsoft Entra ID, saving you time and effort.

New Edit Environment Permission

An additional permission type will soon be available that provides more granular control for environments. Users assigned the Edit environment settings permission will be able to edit the specific environment’s settings or filters, but not create, duplicate, or delete environments.

Environment Updates

Updates are coming soon to the Environment creation screen. This update includes:

  • A modernized UI

  • A new description field to easily see the purpose of environments at a glance

  • Additional configuration options in the UI screen such as AutoShare

Service Accounts for APIs

To help improve API key management and access control, you will soon be able to create service accounts in BigPanda.

Service accounts are used to create API keys for a specific application or service within your organization. These keys aren't associated with a BigPanda user account and do not need to be changed or recreated if a user leaves your organization.

Configuration Comparison

Soon you will be able to compare configuration changes between BigPanda organizations right in the console Settings page.

The new page will allow you to track changes between organizations such as sandbox and production, showing you differences in the roles, alert enrichment, environments, environment groups, and alert correlation settings.

Event Processing Dashboard Updates

The Event Processing dashboard in Unified Analytics will soon be updated to reflect the latest data model. Several upgrades will be made to this dashboard including:

  • New default event creation date filter

  • Duplication capabilities

  • Updated calculations

Number of events

The number of events calculated in this dashboard will be different than what was previously displayed to reflect these changes.

Credit Utilization Dashboard

Your BigPanda credit usage will soon be easier to track with the new Credit Utilization Dashboard in Unified Analytics. This standard dashboard will show you how many credits you have used along with the amount you have remaining, and give you insights into your usage trends.

Automated Incident Analysis Configuration

Organizations using the Advanced Insight Module will soon be able to easily customize their Automated Incident Analysis summaries.

The new settings page will allow you to control which alert tags are used to create the analysis, set up instructions for how the LLM handles analyses, and choose which incident tags should be used for action recommendations.

Problem Identification Dashboard

The Problem Identification dashboard will soon be available in Unified Analytics. This dashboard clusters historic similar incidents to help identify recurring issues, then uses AI to summarize each cluster.

This can help you determine how to prioritize specific clusters based on frequency or impact and find potential root causes of recurring issues based on similarities or find potential candidates for automation.

System Improvements

  • Environment data will soon be available in the BigPanda Standard Data Model, allowing you to create dashboards and queries based on your BigPanda environments.
