Release Notes Highlights - v2026.3

Coming Soon!

Written by Ben Nissley

Highlights

Compliance Reporting Module

The new Compliance Reporting module turns the data Faddom collects into compliance reports, so you can review your environment against regulations and standards. It's licensed separately and works with Compass.

Faddom Guard: Faddom on Any Page

The new Faddom Guard browser add-on for Chrome and Edge opens a Faddom side panel on any page, including platforms like vSphere and AWS. Open it from the toolbar icon, with Alt+Shift+F, or from the Faddom tab on the right edge of the page.

  • Search for any server, with the same matching as the Faddom search

  • See Faddom servers matched automatically to the IP addresses on the page

  • Open a server card with details, Faddom score, application maps, certificates, and tags

  • Ask Compass questions about the servers on the page

Monitoring Integration: SolarWinds

Faddom now supports SolarWinds as a monitoring integration. Configure a webhook alert action in SolarWinds Orion to forward alerts into Faddom, following the Zabbix and Nagios integrations.

Proxmox Discovery: Hypervisors and VMs in Inventory

Faddom now connects to Proxmox as a data source. Add a Proxmox server from Settings > Data Sources, test the connection, and run discovery on demand. Proxmox hosts appear as hypervisors in Inventory, and their VMs are listed when the guest agent is installed.

Dedicated DNS Screen

The new Domains screen shows which domains your environment is reaching, all in one place. See your top domains with their related apps, sources, and traffic, a breakdown of traffic by domain category such as DevOps, LLM, and Media, and a list of requests to malicious domains with the source, traffic, and last seen time. Narrow the view with filters and a time range. Available once Domain Processing is enabled in Settings.

Redesigned Discovery Scope

Discovery Scope has a fresh new design and is now the main home for your scope settings. It replaces the old scope page and the edit groups screen in Subnet Dependencies.

Redesigned Inactive Servers

Inactive Servers has a new design and now works independently from Shadow IT. Hiding a server on one screen no longer hides it on the other.

Dark, Light, and Auto Mode

Make Faddom look the way you work best. Choose dark, light, or auto display mode across the whole UI, set individually for each user.

Additional Enhancements

Access Control: Granular Access to Application Maps

Control who sees which application maps with two new options:

  • Grant a role access to specific map folders under Settings > Access Control > Roles

  • Limit a map to the user who created it, with sharing to other users and admin access

Azure Discovery: Managed Identity Authentication

Azure Discovery now supports managed identities as an alternative to app registrations. Assign the identity to the VM that runs Azure discovery, whether the Faddom server or a remote proxy, and skip storing access keys. Flow log setup also accepts multiple storage accounts, each with its own name. Existing connection strings keep working.

Nutanix: Migration to the v4 GA API

Faddom’s Nutanix integration now runs on the generally available Nutanix v4 API, replacing the v4 beta API. Before you upgrade, confirm your Nutanix version supports the v4 GA API.

Micro Segmentation: Export Policy to AWS

Export a micro-segmentation policy to AWS. Faddom creates the matching security groups based on the policy you defined.

Public API: New Endpoints

Faddom's Public API now covers more of what you see in the product:

  • Operational events, with the same filters as the events screen

  • The latest direct login of each user on a server

  • The details behind a server's Faddom score

  • Server traffic, matching the Server Behavior chart

  • Inventory data sources, including Kubernetes PaaS services and IP Groups

You can also query the servers list by last-updated time.

Compass: Search With a Question

Ask Compass in plain language, such as "Show me all incoming connections to this server," and Compass builds the matching search for you.

Performance: PostgreSQL Read Replicas

Faddom now scales further with support for PostgreSQL read replicas. The UI reads from a replica, keeping the primary database free for frequent topology updates.

sFlow: Clearer VM Classification and Collection Status

  • VMs discovered through sFlow now show as "sFlow VM" instead of Hyper-V, because sFlow can't identify the hypervisor. Hosts with sFlow agents stay classified as physical.

  • Hyper-V, KVM, and physical server data sources now include a table of sFlow sources, and the data source status reflects what each source sends.

  • Hosts running host sFlow and the Faddom sFlow Generator now report whether Faddom receives raw packets, host counters, or VM counters from each source.

  • The Faddom sFlow Generator agent binaries are now code-signed, so security teams can exclude them from EDR tools by certificate.

Filters: Edit Existing Filters

Refine a filter on the spot. You can now edit an existing filter instead of deleting and recreating it.

Maps: Suggested Filters per Map

Each map now suggests filters for the servers and ports that generate the most connections, in addition to the global suggestions.

Maps: Search the Tree by Application Tag

Find the right map faster by searching the maps tree by application tag.

Maps: Created By Field

See who built each map. Application maps now show their creator.

Maps: Filter by Tier

Focus on the tier you care about with the new filter by tier in tier maps.

Maps: Expandable Tier Bubbles

Expand tier bubbles to read long map and tier names without hovering.

Search: Port Range

Search a whole range of ports at once, such as 8000-8100, instead of adding each port one by one.

Tiers: Unassigned Servers in Inventory

Tier Types now matches the map. Servers without an assigned tier appear under “Other.”

Tiers: Reassignment When Deleting a Tier

Delete a tier with confidence. Faddom automatically reassigns its servers based on your remaining rules.

Inventory: Grouping

View Inventory your way. Group it by ESX host, or turn grouping off for a flat list.

VMware: Cluster and Datacenter Fields

VMware Discovery now collects cluster and datacenter fields and shows them in server properties.

VMware: Navigation for Multiple vCenters

Working with many vCenters is easier. Data Sources now makes it simple to switch between them.

Discovery Scope: Subnet Export

Take your subnets with you. Export every defined subnet from the Discovery Scope Subnets page.

Custom Fields: Import History

Track every Custom Fields import, with its file name and the number of records it affected.

User Discovery: Settings Moved

User Discovery settings are now in one place. The AD admin groups and inactive cleanup parameters have moved from Global Parameters to the User Discovery settings page.

SSL Insights: Search and Sort

Find the connections you need in SSL Insights with new search and sort in the connections list.

AWS Discovery: Missing Connection Data Warning

Configuration Status now warns you when Faddom discovers an AWS service without connection data, such as an S3 bucket.

AWS Discovery: Flow Log Status

The data source UI and Configuration Status now show the last flow log status.

Optimize: Temporary Storage in Azure Recommendations

Azure recommendations now consider temporary storage support, so Faddom doesn't suggest VM types that require a rebuild.

Migration: Discounts

Apply your own discount to Azure and AWS pricing in migration cost calculations.

Fixes

Fix: Windows Disk Metrics in Azure

Faddom now reads the Windows disk metrics that the Azure Monitor Agent publishes, so Windows drives in Azure no longer show 0% free space.

Fix: Saved Map Layout Not Loading

Saved layouts in Maps now load right away, without a page refresh.

Fix: Tag-Based Tiers Finding No Servers

Tiers based on a tag now accurately find the servers that have that tag.

Fix: Tag "Equals" Matching Partial Values

An "equals" condition on a tag now matches only the exact value, in both maps and Advanced Search.

Fix: AWS VPC Discovery Failures Affecting Other VPCs

When discovery fails for one VPC, your other VPCs are no longer marked with an error or disabled.

Fix: Nutanix Performance Data

CPU, memory, disk, and IOPS data now update for VMs on Nutanix Prism Central 7 and above.

Fix: AD Admin Users List

The discovered AD admin users list now includes only admin users.

Fix: Public IP Properties Panel

The properties panel for a public IP now shows its IP Groups instead of appearing empty.
