What shipped
- New smbios_memory collector for Linux reads SMBIOS firmware tables and reports physical memory inventory with persistent loss detection. Pull request #23965
- V2 collectors can now add, remove, and replace named native chart templates at runtime while preserving unchanged entries' lifecycle state. Pull request #23971
- Redfish collector chart template rebuilt from 10,223 lines of generated defaults to 4,000 lines of curated configuration. Pull request #23957
- Legacy shell-format alarm notification configuration now maps to 23 Go providers with ordered overlays and recipient policies. Pull request #23930
- Redfish collector enriched with optional hardware columns for processor counts, memory, storage details, firmware dates, and assembly revisions. Pull request #23950
- Redfish collector adds on-demand BMC logs viewer with event filtering by time, severity, and text. Pull request #23943
- V2 collector per-job collection status and duration charts restored, shared with V1 rendering. Pull request #23946
- Journal access diagnostics expanded to capture all three permission-granting mechanisms with optional plugin debug mode. Pull request #23947
- Discovered targets can now reference secrets when explicitly trusted by their collection pipeline. Pull request #23918
- Documentation added for secret-resolution execution privileges and SNMP scan credential exposure on Linux and Unix systems. Pull request #23923
Why it matters
This week adds hardware inventory collection via SMBIOS, significantly improves Redfish functionality with logs viewing and enriched hardware details, and maps legacy alarm notification systems to modern providers. Support and debugging capabilities also improve for journal access and secret handling.

New smbios_memory collector reports Linux physical memory inventory. Redfish gains BMC logs viewer and hardware enrichment. Legacy alarm notifications now map to Go providers. V2 charts restored.
This week's updates strengthen hardware monitoring and legacy system integration. A new smbios_memory collector provides Linux memory inventory tracking. The Redfish collector gains on-demand BMC logs viewing and expanded hardware details. Most significantly, legacy shell-format alarm notification configurations now map to 23 modern Go providers, enabling smoother migration paths for existing deployments.
