Deprecation of AirWatch Historical Widgets within Workspace ONE Intelligence (89394)

  • AirWatch Historical widgets are being deprecated within Workspace ONE Intelligence.
    Why is this being deprecated?
    The current implementation of AirWatch Historical only stores the full record of state changes. Storing the full record introduces a limitation as it tracks all changes to the state, including edits. As a result, historical widgets face data accuracy challenges due to its inability to truly track change events.
    For instance, when tracking the total number of apps installed per day, AirWatch Historical will count any changes to a currently installed app as a new installation due to the implementation method. This in turn, misrepresents the actual number of apps being installed a day, resulting in inaccurate data for the widget.
  • What does deprecation mean for users?
    Users will only be able to view or delete the impacted AirWatch Historical widgets. They will NOT be able to edit, copy, duplicate, or rename the impacted widgets. Additionally, users will NOT be able to create any new AirWatch Historical widgets.
    Which widgets are impacted?
    Widgets using data from the following list will be impacted:
    • Workspace ONE UEM -> Apps
    • Workspace ONE UEM -> Devices
    • Workspace ONE UEM -> Windows OS Updates
    • Workspace ONE UEM -> Device Risk Score
    • Workspace ONE UEM -> Device Summary Risk Score
    • Workspace ONE UEM -> User Risk Score

Impacted widgets will also be labeled with a 'Deprecated' pill to make it easier for users to identify.

 

Workspace ONE Email Notification Service 2 (ENS2) experiencing sporadic connection errors due to the unavailability of the RDS database (89432)

  • ENS2 Virginia Database was migrated on 27th August to a Multi-AZ configuration. After the migration, the Workspace ONE Team began seeing database connection errors due to a sporadic unavailability of the RDS database. While the Workspace ONE Team works with our partners to identify the root cause, the team will be reverting to a previous version of the database.
  • Since ENS2 relies on Exchange to maintain subscriptions and Exchange is prone to losing subscriptions frequently for unknown reasons, it is possible that many users may lose subscriptions due to the migration.
  • The team will be creating a mock API to keep sending acknowledgements back to the Exchange whenever there is an event pushed from Exchange to ENS2, to reduce chances of losing the active subscriptions.
