With version 3.1 we put an end to "tool hell" and brought ISMS, firewall, VPN and PKI under a single roof. COD 3.2 now bridges the gap to real-world IT operations: we're introducing active monitoring, shedding light on the status of your inventory, and giving you full control over how the platform looks.
While COD 3.1 laid the foundation for consolidation, COD 3.2 goes where things tend to chafe in daily life: Who actually notices when a firewall is unreachable? Why does the inventory show data for one source – and nothing for another? And can COD be made to look like your own company without touching a single line of code?
The Highlights of Version 3.2
New: Firewall Reachability Monitoring
ICMP/TCP probing via fping, configurable cron per tenant, e-mail notifications with per-firewall throttling.
Prerequisite: fping must be installed on the COD host – otherwise the feature stays cleanly disabled.
New: Polling Status in the Network Inventory
Every row now has a status (OK / ERROR / UNKNOWN) with timestamp, tooltip explanation (timeout, auth, refused, …) and a visible source (SNMP / SSH / API). SSH and API errors are now detected correctly – previously only SNMP was.
New: Branding Area (Manager only)
Configurable in the admin area: app name, top-bar text and logo, login logo (rotation -180°…+180°, vertical offset), QR code colors and an optional center logo (130 px, white background). Live preview directly inside the panel.
Improvements
Firewall
- The "Open firewall" link now respects the configured port (e.g. :8443) instead of being hard-wired to 443.
- Certificate warnings now also list firewalls that don't deliver certificate data, including the reason why.
- Timeout handling tightened in the dashboard and globally.
- VPN backend (IPsec / OpenVPN / WireGuard) split into per-type services; the IPsec table now has a new DPD column.
Network
- Cisco cable test on FastEthernet now returns a clear error message instead of % Invalid input detected – TDR is, by hardware design, only available from Gigabit upwards.
Overview
- Duplicate NAC entry removed from the General grid; NAC now only appears in the Infrastructure grid.
ISMS
- New TLP level TLP:AMBER+STRICT.
Permissions
- Role hierarchy Manager → SuperAdmin → Admin is once again inherited correctly in the UI. Tabs and actions that had become invisible to managers (Database, Config, ISMS editing, …) are back.
Bottom Line
COD 3.2 bringt kein neues Modul, sondern macht den vorhandenen Apparat dichter und alltagstauglicher. Update läuft über den regulären Pfad. Modulübersicht: extoco.de
