What is HyperDX?

HyperDX patches its collector for an MPTCP CVE days after adding OTel session replay.

HyperDX 2.43 plays session replays from OpenTelemetry browser SDKs and passes alert tags into webhook bodies, and its 2.43.1 collector disables Multipath TCP to mitigate CVE-2026-98432. The bundled ClickHouse is now pinned for a security fix. The week before, CLI 0.8 added dashboard and saved-search authoring and the API started handling PromQL tiles.

What is Tautulli?

Tautulli 2.18.2 fixes history grouping and closes another newsletter path traversal.

Tautulli, the Plex monitoring tool, shipped v2.18.2 in late September: history grouping now requires a matching guid, paused notifications stop repeating during buffering, and another path traversal in newsletter filenames is closed. It also adds Windows installer flags and loudness data in exports. The 2.18.0 feature release before it added Dolby Atmos and a push relay to replace OneSignal.

HyperDX patches its collector for an MPTCP CVE days after adding OTel session replay.

◆ Current state

HyperDX 2.43 plays session replays from OpenTelemetry browser SDKs and passes alert tags into webhook bodies, and its 2.43.1 collector disables Multipath TCP to mitigate CVE-2026-98432. The bundled ClickHouse is now pinned for a security fix. The week before, CLI 0.8 added dashboard and saved-search authoring and the API started handling PromQL tiles.

◆ Where it's heading

HyperDX is making dashboards and alerts manageable from outside the UI, through the CLI, the API and MCP, while leaning on OpenTelemetry standards instead of its own SDKs. Recent patch releases also show more attention to the security of self-hosted images.

◆ Prediction

Expect session replay to cover more OpenTelemetry browser events and alert tags to reach more webhook templates. The pace of weekly minor releases should continue.

Tautulli 2.18.2 fixes history grouping and closes another newsletter path traversal.

◆ Current state

Tautulli, the Plex monitoring tool, shipped v2.18.2 in late September: history grouping now requires a matching guid, paused notifications stop repeating during buffering, and another path traversal in newsletter filenames is closed. It also adds Windows installer flags and loudness data in exports. The 2.18.0 feature release before it added Dolby Atmos and a push relay to replace OneSignal.

◆ Where it's heading

Releases keep pairing a steady flow of security reports with small community-contributed features. History correctness is the other recurring thread, with regrouping logic changed so existing history splits by guid.

◆ Prediction

Expect another 2.18.x patch of the same shape, with at least one security fix, since every release in the past year has carried one.
