• To upgrade to NetQ 4.15, first check the Release Considerations below, then follow the steps in Upgrade NetQ.

What’s New in NetQ 4.15

NetQ 4.15.0 includes the following new features:

• The Validation Summary card now lets you view all the results from recent validations and allows you to easily re-run validations
• Integrate NetQ with Grafana and create custom dashboards to view telemetry data from switches, NICs, and GPUs
• Run topology validations using JSON blueprints
• New UI behavior: removed Close, use breadcrumb navigation to go back
• The cloud (OPTA) cluster deployment option is no longer available or supported

Release Considerations

• When the NetQ agent is active and What Just Happened (WJH) is enabled, the Cumulus Linux 5.14 packet trimming feature will not work as expected. To enable packet trimming, you must disable NetQ What Just Happened with the netq config del agent wjh command, then apply the changes with netq config restart agent.
• The NetQ agent is not compatible with Broadcom switches. Reach out to your NVIDIA support representative if your environment requires NetQ compatibility with Broadcom switches.
