Release Notes - Observer GigaFlow 18.1.0.0

New Features

Added support for Meraki. Meraki does not support the sysuptime object.
Added demultiplexer for syslog messages' this allows syslog parsing to be spread across multiple CPUs for TCP syslog.
Added the ability to disable netflow events under the Alerts page.
Added TCA messages to events system for graphing and filtering.
Added syslogsender for zmq.
Added device disable feature if device or flow count breached.
Added sparkline to show flow rate over the rolling hour.
Added GigaFlow/Observer single setup script.
Added stats for syslog TCP receivers.

Changed performance charts to filter for top-n recent; this will reduce the time to render on servers that have many devices and/or interfaces.
Changed order of performance graphs; now interfaces launch after devices.
Improved zmq memory usage by approximately 15%.
Changed drop handling for syslog messages; rather than drop the buffer, it no longer admits to it.
Changed ips cleanup to happen centrally every 1 minute; this was happening ad-hoc on a per device basis.
Changed Kafka; it no longer waits for acks from remote server.
