Faster loading of pages.
Use of uniform and intuitive color palettes.
Lazy loadings supported in the Application details page.
Single page content view in most of the applications, instead of opening multiple pages.

New UI pages
Changes to Existing UI
Clusters
Formerly Operations contains all information across the entire cluster. The Reports > Operational Insights functions/reports have been moved here.

Data
Formerly Reports > Data Insights.
Reports
Currently this page is a repository for the archived and scheduled reports.
Migration
Formerly Reports > Migration Planning
Alerts
Formerly Manage > AutoActions.
Manager
Currently can be directly accessed from the title bar.
Multi-cluster support for on-prem clusters
The Multi-Cluster feature allows a single Unravel installation to monitor multiple independent on-prem clusters (CDH and HDP only).
Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana
Unravel supports metrics and graphically represents the KPI information for Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana from the Unravel UI.
Unsupported
Unravel does not support multi-cluster management of combined on-prem and cloud clusters.
Does not support apps belonging to the same pipeline but is sourced from different clusters, in a multi-cluster environment. A pipeline can only contain apps that belong to the same cluster.
Hive on Spark is not supported.
Missing table and column statistics events.
The following reports are not supported in v4.6.2.0:
Cluster Summary
Cluster Compare
Executive KPI
Migration Planning is not supported for the following regions for Azure Data Lake:
US DoD East
US DoD Central
Germany Central (Sovereign)
Germany Northeast (Sovereign)
Forecasting and Migration reports: In a multi-cluster environment, only a single cluster can be configured at a time hence reports are generated only for that single cluster.
The Applications > Sessions page is not supported in Unravel version v4.6.2.0.
The signup feature is not enabled in Unravel version v4.6.2.0.
Pig and Cascading applications are not supported.
