Dashboard for Enterprise Headless CMS
Enterprise CMS Headless architecture: Customer Dashboard for usage and platform health.
• Greater visibility and proactive reporting on their environment usage and performance. Specifically a dashboard (or reporting capability) that shows: • Usage/consumption metrics • Traffic patterns • Response times • Proactive monitoring data to help identify issues (e.g., 404 errors) before they become support tickets • The ability for customer teams to independently access this data, rather than having to request it from OptimizelyHaving this available standard vs. a custom build. This will help Enterprise customers shift from reactive issue handling → proactive management of their Optimizely environment

Application Insights - be able to sample or filter logged data
As a customer and implementation partner using DXP I would like either:
- a built-in tool somewhere, in the DXP portal, optimizely or Azure, to be able to filter out unwanted third party dependencies from being logged to the DXP Application Insights,
or
- the permissions to add our own sampling in Application Insights.
Optimizely DXP injects Application Insights (via required headers) and we cannot opt out of that. We don't have any way to sample the data logged to that Application Insights instance.
We get alerts about "DXC - Production Application Insight Daily cap reached" on logged data that is mainly…

API support for environment copy-back lifecycle and post-copy script execution
As a development team managing multiple lower environments, we want API/PowerShell endpoints to orchestrate the full copy-back workflow, including a mechanism to run registered post-copy maintenance scripts, so that I can automate environment refresh end-to-end without manual PaaS Portal interaction.
Currently, the copy-back workflow requires manual steps in the PaaS Portal (stop environment, copy databases/blobs from Production, start environment). After the copy, teams must anonymise PII from the copied databases to comply with GDPR before the environment can be used. This anonymisation step cannot be triggered or orchestrated through the platform.
We would like the EpiCloud module or REST API…

Immutable Backups
Immutable Backups are increasingly becoming cybersecurity and resilience best practice.
Currently CMS PaaS data is not covered by immutable backups. To further protect us against ransomware attacks and accidental or malicious data tampering having this as a standard or at least optional feature would be highly desirable, providing a reliable last line of defense for fast and trustworthy recovery after a cyber incident or operational failure.
Any update on timeline for its availability would be very much appreciated.20 votes -
Visual Builder: When changing style settings or property values in the outline panel, the left preview panel always refreshes
CMS SaaS: I have just converted my project from using @remkoj/optimizely-cms-nextjs to @optimizely/cms-sdk, but the live preview sync for style settings and property value updates is not as smooth as with @remkoj/optimizely-cms-nextjs.
Previously, my project worked very smoothly in Visual Builder mode. It only updated the element I changed and did not refresh the entire iframe.
However, after switching to @optimizely/cms-sdk, whenever I update anything, it always refreshes the preview iframe, resulting in a very poor user experience.
Is this expected behavior, or am I missing something?CMS 13: We’re seeing the same full iframe refresh issue on Optimizely CMS…

Add .NET Counter publication to App Insights on Startup
There are a whole suite of .NET counters available to use to publish to App Insights. This is a low-lift modification that enables us to gain many insights, directly inside of App Insights Metrics, we can utilize to diagnose issues on customers.
This enables us to do performance investigations that otherwise require manual intervention (such as downloading .ETL files and opening them in PerfView or capturing dump files and analyzing them).
We can skip these manual steps and jump write to "close to root causes" by publishing this information. There is little cost and no significant performance degradation associated with…

Dynamic Scaling in DXP - improve performance and reduce costs
The default hardware SKU for Optimizely is P1V3. P1V3 only has 2 cores and P2V3 has 4 cores. Because the number of cores available to the system dictates the number of default threads the system attempt to regulate, it would be best to deviate away from our current default hardware SKU, P1V3 to P2V3, instead. However, doing so would increase costs which we do not want to do necessarily. This is a proposal to decrease costs while simultaneously increasing hardware resources during peak hours.
The idea is to increase a customer's lower environment hardware to P2V3 during "working hours" (to…

ease see the below request about deploying ‘Google Tag Gateway’ in Cloudflare which is not currently supported in DXP
We want to be able to deploy ‘Google Tag Gateway’ in Cloudflare which is not currently supported in DXP. This gets the Google tags to appear as first-party. The tag setup in GTM is otherwise the same and it should still obey the OneTrust cookie consent.

Add Custom .NET Core Event Counters to CMS
In order for development teams to identify development issues within their implementation they need to be able to see under the hood of their implementation and inspect the qualitative metrics of their implementation.
Additionally, within our production environment, we should have a variety of metrics available to us to diagnose the quality of an implementation. These metrics would help guide our investigation as the
Currently, this is missing and we have major issues with partner and customer implementations because of it and our MTTR within our production environments is protracted because of the lack of this information.

25 Production Service Buses Broken
We need to define what "working" means for a service bus so that reliability engineering can maintain reliability based on these metrics.
When a service bus no longer functions, reliability engineering should be equipped with the capacity to upgrade service buses in order to meet a component-specific SLA.
We need product management to define what "working" means for a service bus so reliability engineering can respond appropriately when a service bus is "broken" rather than having to go back to PM as though we need a exception for every broken service bus.
We also need monitoring in place to ensure…

Ensure Release Notes on nuget.optimizely.com
When navigating from a specific version of a DLL on nuget.optimizely.com. For example:
https://nuget.optimizely.com/packages/episerver.cms.ui.core/13.0.2
via the right-nav's Release Notes link that offers a filtered view of the packages, you see nothing in the filtered list.
Preferably, we should be eliminating this extra hop to have to click to the underlying page.
The release notes should be surfaced directly on the nuget.optimizely.com website so no further navigation is necessary.
Release notes for package should include an aggregation of all of the underlying changes' release notes.
This information should also be available within Visual Studio.
Without such information, developers can't know why…

IQI Report - App Insights as the Source of Truth
There are multiple similar functions happening that are similar within Optimizely. They all need to be utilizing the same data a the singular source of truth. They are:
Incident Management, primary data is App Insights.
Deep diagnostics done by Problem Management, primary data is App Insights
App Insights Dashboard
IQI Health Check reporting, primary information (aside from pingdom's availability info which for legal reasons) is Cloud Flare for health information.
The inconsistency of source data causes issues because we cannot make a consistent presentation of the information when the source being utilized is entirely different.

Fix NuGet Search UI on world.optimizely.com
Many deficits exist within the NuGet portion of world.optimizely.com.
An effort should be made to rectify the UX experience within the site to:
- Make it more user friendly.
2.) Make it so that our NuGet search functionality works appropriately within production.
For example, you should be able to filter the UI not just by the package name, but the DLL. See - https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/docs/nuget-package-families-in-cms

Identify and Aid Customers with Production Live-Locks
There's the concept of a "dead" lock and a "live" lock. A live-lock is essentially a race condition within a production environment. It causes stair stepping of CPU usually until the server crashes.
This often happens when a developer accidentally uses a non-thread safe object in a multi-threaded manner.
The object (for example a HashSet) being used needs to be identified and a thread safe type needs to be replaced so that the live-lock goes away and the CPU goes back to normal.

Down-Sampling Service Bus App Insights
Much of the log analytics costs come from voluminous amounts of service bus activity that is largely useless for analytics purposes. We could generally use a fraction of the analytics and we would be just fine.
For diagnostic purposes, we generally need to inspect the contents of the service bus itself to identify problems.

Consider shifting from Adaptive Sampling to Fixed Sampling
There's a known bug in Adaptive Sampling that prevents us from getting accurate analytics from App Insights. It largely calls the values of App Insights largely into question because we cannot tell when the metrics within App Insights are accurate or not.
Moving from Adaptive Sampling to Fixed Rate Sampling resolves this issue, but it also can cause an increase in log analytics and the possibility of exceeding the log quota.
If we can come up with a weekly way to determine the appropriate sampling rate for a given type of log data for a customer and tweak the analytics…
