This July, Refresh Yourself with Cogent DataHub V11!

Who said that vigilance decreased in the summer? Like a breath of fresh air, Cogent DataHub version 11 has arrived this July, and it hasn’t come alone: the update incorporates renewed functionalities that will improve your overall experience with the solution:

Even more secure than previous versions. Why?

Thanks to the major new features incorporated, including:

• User account import: you can now import user accounts from a local Windows machine or an external LDAP server.
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA): in addition, the new version adds the option to authenticate users via multi-factor authentication, including time-based one-time passwords (TOTP).
• Differentiation of access permissions: and yes, V11 also allows you to differentiate user access permissions according to the source and connection protocol (for example, IP address, CIDR).
• Custom roles and permission sets: finally, the update brings with it the option to define and assign permissions in a granular and specific way, according to the needs and functions of users within the application.

Improvements in WebView

Designed to optimize the management and editing of pages:

• Opening multiple pages in edit mode: you can open multiple pages in edit mode and quickly switch from one to another in execution mode, thanks to an improved page handling algorithm.
• Page viewer control: with which to embed multiple pages in one.
• Search, selection, and editing of controls: the new version allows you to do it in bulk and more efficiently.
• Line segment control: to draw lines and arrows on the page.
• New script editor: which provides a more intuitive coding environment with syntax highlighting and search/replace.

More Highlighted Features

• Expansion of integration and communication capabilities, based on the incorporation of new features for the MQTT server and client, including support for Sparkplug 3 and MQTT V5.
• Additional historian connections: Apache Kafka, Azure Event Hubs, OPC Classic HDA, ODBC support (with connection to virtually any SQL database) and Store and Forward (using data sources other than InfluxDB).
• Data Diode Mode: the new Data Diode mode configures DataHub tunnels to immediately discard all incoming data without processing, also allowing tunnels to pass through any data diode hardware that supports TCP emulation.
• Improvements in OPC DA client connections: DataHub’s OPC DA server mode will then provide OPC items to clients without the assigned domain name prefix, simplifying integration and use.
