Current Series Release Notes

14.0.0.0rc1-2

New Features

• Watcher Dashboard now supports passing strategy parameters when creating audits, matching the OpenStack CLI openstack optimize audit create -p <name=value>.

  A new “Strategy Parameters” field accepts all the parameters as a JSON object. Server-side validation parses and validates the input, and the field remains backward compatible when left empty.

  The Create Audit dialog also shows available parameters for the selected strategy (when the Watcher API exposes parameters_spec), including types, defaults, and descriptions from audit templates. This provides real-time guidance to users and improves parity with the CLI experience.

  The Audit Details view now displays the parameters that were used for the audit.

14.0.0.0rc1
