7.1. Release 1.18.0 7.1. Release 1.18.1
Minor bugfixes.
o Filter Monitor Name Bug. A bug was present in the previous
release where monitor names where not correctly handled in
filters. This is now fixed.
o Database Upgrade Change. Users upgrading from releases prior
to 1.18.0 please note that now as part of the upgrade process all
your filters will have any automatic actions unset. This is
because the previous affinity to a particular monitor has now been
removed and you may be left with several filters all doing the
same thing to all of the events or have filters which for instance
delete events on only one monitor but which now would delete them
for all of them. It is recommended that you review your list of
saved filters and delete duplicates before adding any monitor
specific terms and resetting the actions for any that remain.
