What's New

• We are updating our guidance on the optimal number of devices for performing a group firmware upgrade. Based on recent performance analysis and user feedback, we now recommend upgrading up to 100 devices at once using group firmware upgrade wizard in NSM.

• NSM 2.5.3 allows users to selectively choose which tenants they want to receive notifications from, when they are part of multiple tenants. Administrators can go to Users section and disable the notification for a particular tenant. This enhancement provides greater control over notification preferences, ensuring users receive relevant updates without being overwhelmed.
