v5.4.0

OpenC3 COSMOS 5.4.0 - Modern, Production Ready, Command and Control

Welcome to OpenC3 COSMOS 5.4.0!

Bucket Explorer

COSMOS now comes with a new tool called Bucket Explorer that allows browsing files in whatever bucket technology is being used. This provides a cross-cloud solution with a Minio Console-like interface.

Metrics

The CmdTlmServer Status tab now includes a curated list of metrics that can be useful to monitor the health of COSMOS. Includes various counters and latency measurements.

Navigation Categories

The Navigation bar can now be organized into Categories that can be collapsed and expanded.

Permissions Updates to Better Support Local Mode on Linux

Updates to openc3.sh and compose.yaml to better support permissions when running using local mode on linux. This supports running from user ids other than 1000, and makes sure that files written to the host filesystem have the same user id as the user who is running COSMOS.

Better Plugin Installation Errors

Plugin installation errors now include line numbers, and attempts to capture all installation errors, rather than just the first.

Trivy, ClamAV, and CodeQL Scans

Our CI/CD process now includes Trivy scans for finding CVE vulnerabilities and ClamAV scans to check for Malware.

Other Highlighted Improvements In This Release

• DataExtractor updated to handle very large lists of items
• CmdSender nows lists parameter ranges
• Several tools now remember pagination settings
• Always force an install of plugins if using the GUI
• Enabled/Disable limits from Details dialog
