Advanced logging

...

Until now, the logs available in the Logs section under the settings of the Media Manager had limited functionality in terms of searching and filtering for specific logs. In version 5.5 the scope of the available options are significantly expanded. The users can search for logs by using both the freetext search as well as applying newly introduced filters. The following filters are available:

• Period

• Trace ID

• Span ID

• Max lines

• Direction

• Level

• Service name

• Visible fields

 There exists also a possibility of accessing advanced editing and querying, which also provides the ability to export logs. This option is available by clicking Advanced at the bottom of the filtering panel. The button opens Grafana in a separate tab or window.

 Thanks to expanding the logging functionality, the administrative users of the system (usually the Professional Services consultant) have greater flexibility in terms of troubleshooting the system.

Ability to search in asset content

We introduce the ability to extract the text content of documents and images, using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Once the text is extracted, the contents of certain asset types will be included in the free text searches.

The following formats are supported: PDF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF.

Note: this functionality doesn't come a standard feature and needs to be configured, just as any other functionality within the AI Services. The search will work the newly uploaded asset after the functionality has been correctly configured. To include the contents of older assets in the search, they need to repopulated.

Automations replace Digimonitor

One of the oldest elements of our DAM system, Digimonitor, has now been retired as a part of the journey towards modernizing the way our infrastructure works and improving the performance. All of its functionality has now been completely taken over by Automations.

DigiBatch enhancements

...

In version 5.5 we offer a greater flexibility in terms of the management of Automation and DigiBatch jobs. Thanks to this the administrative users of the systems gain a better control over the long list of jobs performed in the system.

First of all, it is now possible to retry the errored or cancelled Automation and DigiBatch jobs. The user can either retry a single job at a time or all of the errored jobs at once.

Secondly, the user can cancel or completely delete jobs directly both from the status and the error queue. The cancelling function can used on the running jobs, for example if they take too long to run and slow down the system. The job will be then moved to the cancelled queue and can be retried at a later time. The delete function can be used to remove the job permanently.

Backend tasks for Workflows, enhanced metadata and the cropping tool

We have introduced and improved on the existing functionality visible for the Media Manager users. Some of the time of our developers was spent on making those possible by making behind-the-scenes changes on DAM Center’s side.
