What is HyperDX?

HyperDX is widening its PromQL and metrics support toward Grafana-style dashboards.

HyperDX ships as a monorepo of versioned packages (app, api, CLI, common-utils, collector), so one release shows up as several changelog entries. The 2.40.0 wave on October 1 adds multi-expression PromQL charts, PromQL macros, a minimum auto granularity per metric source, a Trace logs tab, and a StatsD receiver in the collector. Mid-September focused on alerting-as-code, with Terraform export for dashboard tile alerts.

What is ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus?

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

6.3

HyperDX is widening its PromQL and metrics support toward Grafana-style dashboards.

◆ Current state

HyperDX ships as a monorepo of versioned packages (app, api, CLI, common-utils, collector), so one release shows up as several changelog entries. The 2.40.0 wave on October 1 adds multi-expression PromQL charts, PromQL macros, a minimum auto granularity per metric source, a Trace logs tab, and a StatsD receiver in the collector. Mid-September focused on alerting-as-code, with Terraform export for dashboard tile alerts.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is closing feature gaps with Grafana on metrics, several of which it names outright, such as the per-datasource 'Min interval' equivalent. It's also widening ingestion, with StatsD/DogStatsD going straight into the collector. Alongside that, there's steady work on query cost (bounded Map-key scans) and on keeping the CLI's terminal charts in sync with the web app.

◆ Prediction

Expect more PromQL and metrics-dashboard parity work and further Terraform/API coverage of dashboards and alerts in the next minor release.

M2.5

RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.

◆ Current state

RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is coverage expansion: methodically extending what can be backed up and restored across on-prem AD and Entra ID, while broadening cloud storage targets and operational integrations. The dependence on Microsoft's own PowerShell modules is the cost of that coverage, and 6322 shows where it bites — a stale module on the customer's side takes the product down mid-enumeration. Feature builds and pure-fix builds alternate at roughly a two-month cadence, so a single-issue build reads as a gap between feature cycles rather than a slowdown.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build; the next build carrying a Features section is due on the cadence this feed has held.
