v2.0.0 Release Notes

Release date: August 2026

v2.0.0 is a major milestone release for the HYO ITOM platform. Compared to v1.x, v2.0.0 evolves from a "CI data management tool" into a complete IT asset operations platform — introducing the AI Assistant Collie, and adding modules for Discovery & Collection, CI Topology View, License Management, Platform Admin Console, and General Settings, with comprehensive enhancements to user and permission management.

AI Assistant Collie​

The platform's built-in intelligent operations assistant, designed with AI as the primary user. Drive the full power of the platform using natural language — no need to switch between multiple interfaces.

Intelligent Query & Analysis​

• CI Query: Describe your query intent in natural language and Collie automatically constructs and executes the query — supports attribute filtering, cross-type relational queries, and fuzzy attribute name matching
• Global Search: Search across all platform CIs with a single sentence — quickly locate targets by name, IP, serial number, and other keywords
• Dependency Topology Analysis: Query the upstream and downstream dependencies of any CI, visually revealing the connection chains between applications and servers, databases and hosts
• Change History Tracing: View the complete change history of a CI — see who changed what and when
• Class Model Browsing: Explore the class hierarchy, attribute definitions, and valid relationship constraints of CI types

Change & Fault Impact Analysis​

• Change Impact Assessment: When planning a change to a CI, Collie analyzes the relationship topology to identify affected upstream applications and downstream resources — answering "which business services will be affected if I change this host?"
• Fault Root Cause Localization: When a fault occurs, trace the dependency chain in reverse to quickly narrow down the suspect range — start from the alerted device and follow "runs on", "depends on", "connects to" relationships layer by layer to pinpoint the root cause
• Blast Radius Analysis: Evaluate the propagation scope of a change or fault, identifying single points of failure on critical paths

Batch Data Enrichment (Executed After Confirmation)​

Collie can directly execute data modification operations after user confirmation:

• Batch Attribute Update: Filter a set of CIs by condition and uniformly supplement or correct attribute values — for example, backfilling environment tags for all Linux hosts, or setting the owner for a batch of databases
• Relationship Maintenance: Batch-create or adjust relationships between CIs — for example, linking a group of newly deployed applications to their respective host machines
• CI Add/Remove: Batch-create or clean up CI instances
• Tag Management: Add or remove tags on configuration items

New Modules​

Discovery & Collection​

The platform's brand-new data-collection entry point, centralizing the full chain from "auto-discovering devices on the network" to "collecting from those devices":

• Collection Zones: Define IP ranges and collection protocols; the system auto-scans at scheduled intervals and discovers active devices on the network
• Collection Rules: Define "what to do once a device is discovered" — auto-onboard, link to a template, apply tags
• Collection Points: The actual onboarding collection targets — the source of all collected data
• Collection Templates: A set of reusable collection configurations that can be applied in bulk to multiple collection points
• Collection Agents: Distributed collection executors that collect on behalf of the platform in network areas the platform cannot reach directly

Supported Auto-Discovery Capabilities​

The platform ships with multiple discovery protocols and auto-discovers and onboards IT assets by CI type:

• Auto-Onboarding: Bulk-create collection points with Collection Zones + Rules — How to use zone scanning + rules to automatically onboard a batch of new devices

CI Topology View​

A "query-definition"-driven global topology visualization module. Unlike the "Configuration Topology" tab in the CI Directory, CI Topology View starts from a set of CIs (a query definition) to directly display the entire relationship network:

• Left-side query-definition tree — click to render the corresponding topology
• One-click switch between Graph View and Table View
• Filter and append related CIs by type from any node
• Four auto-layout algorithms (Vertical Hierarchical / Horizontal Hierarchical / Force-Directed / Concentric)
• Fullscreen immersive viewing and PNG export

License Management​

The platform's capacity and entitlement center — a one-stop shop for managing capacity utilization, usage details, and license files:

• Capacity dashboards intuitively display used / total / available percentage, color-coded by utilization level
• Three-tier alerts at 80% / 90% / 100% — from reminders to blocking creation
• Usage details broken down by CI category to pinpoint the biggest consumers of capacity
• Secure license-import workflow with preview-based decisions (apply directly / needs confirmation / rejected) and double confirmation for downgrade licenses

Platform Admin Console​

The root administration backend for platform operators, independent of normal business tenants (accessed via the system tenant 100000000):

• Manage the lifecycle of all business tenants: provision, start, stop, disable, delete
• View the complete history of each tenant — from creation to every status change
• Maintain the operator accounts that can log in to this console

→ Platform Admin Console documentation

General Settings​

The tenant-level configuration center, centralizing the "configure once, applies long-term" global parameters:

• General: Notification language, login security policy (max attempts, lock duration)
• Email: SMTP server configuration, sender information
• CMDB: Default dashboard, topology-graph node limit
• LLM Models: Connect to AI models and enable the platform's AI assistant capability

→ General Settings documentation

Enhancements​

User and Permission Management​

Expanded from simple user management into a complete user and permission management system:

• User Management: Create, edit, disable users; assign roles
• User Group Management: Manage users in bulk by group
• Role Management: Create roles; configure resource permissions (menu permissions + operation levels)

Installation and Deployment​

Now Enterprise Edition deployment is available:

• Community Edition Installation: A quick-deployment guide for individuals and small teams
• Enterprise Edition Deployment: A high-availability deployment solution for production environments
