Version 5 Release Notes
Release Date
The major version release date for Netify 5 was announced on November 1, 2023.
What's New
Netify's plugin architecture has been completely refactored, laying the foundation for a more robust and flexible network monitoring system. This architecture overhaul brings several noteworthy benefits to OEM's, system integrators and organizations looking to egress metadata to their own private cloud using enterprise technologies like Message Queues.
This documentation covers everything needed to get you started or implement more advanced tasks like privacy, multi-organization and/or multi-site support and API access. Should you have any issues along the way, our support and developer team is ready to assist.
BSD Support
Within the last 12 months, various organizations that rely heavily on BSD (specifically, pfSense and OPNsense) engaged with eGloo, prompting us to invest resources to support a Netify port to the BSD toolchain, including all existing plugins.
Open source BSD cross-compiled packages can now be found under the freebsd folder for both version 13.2 and 14.
New and Updated Protocol Dissectors
Netify Version 5 saw the addition of the following protocol dissectors, thanks to the nDPI community.
- Apache Thrift
