NetIQ Identity Manager Containers 4.8 Service Pack 1 Release Notes

1.0 What’s New And Changed?

Identity Manager 4.8.1 containers provides you the following key functions in this release:

1.1 Support for Fresh Install of Containers

In addition to supporting the update mechanism for containers, this release provides support for fresh install of containers. In other words, you can directly deploy the Identity Manager 4.8.1 containers without the need to deploy the 4.8 version.

1.2 Support for Exiting the Containers Gracefully

This release introduces support for the graceful exit of containers. This feature can be leveraged by using the --stop-timeout flag in the docker run command. NetIQ recommends you to set the value of this flag to 100. For example, when you stop a container where active processes are running inside the container, the container waits for 100 seconds and then exits. If all the processes inside the container are stopped before the time specified in the --stop-timeout flag, the container exits when the last process is killed.

1.3 Support for Customized Docker Logs

This release introduces support for customized Docker logs. To redirect the default log output to customized docker logs, use the LOGTOFOLLOW flag in the docker run command. For example, if you want to follow the new logs for OSP, specify the -e LOGTOFOLLOW="<list of files separated by space>" environment variable in the docker run command. This prints the logs in the new docker logs. Also, you can use the docker logs -f <container-name> command to monitor the log files.
