Axonius Release Notes 8.0.23

Release Date: May 3rd 2026

These Release Notes contain new features and enhancements added in version 8.0.23

Axonius Platform New Features and Enhancements

Axonius Introduces: Global Variables

Axonius introduces Global Variables, which provide a centralized way to manage and reference static or dynamic values within the system. A Global Variable is a named, editable value that acts as a system-wide alias for a specific data point, primarily used to establish consistent filters, policy enforcement and standardization across all assets.

Example: Software such as VPN agents, TOR agents, or password managers are often represented in queries as long, complex Regex expressions. If you define the Regex expression as a global variable, then every time the organization’s compliance policy changes, you can update the Regex expression once and apply it to all queries and dashboards pointing to that variable.

Create and manage Global Variables from System Settings > Data Settings.


Dashboard

The following new features and enhancements were added to the Dashboards:

Chart Enhancements

Visualizing Multiple Metrics in Pivot Line Charts

Pivot Line charts now support multi-line configurations. Users can segment lines by dimension or compare multiple measures on the same chart. The Line chart configuration model now aligns with other Pivot visualizations, using a consistent Row and Column structure.

Key improvements:

  • Multi-line support - Create Line charts with multiple lines by selecting a dimension in the Dimension Row field to compare trends across categories such as OS, asset type, or status over time.
  • Multiple measures - Compare multiple metrics on the same time axis within a single Line chart when no dimension segmentation is applied.
  • Consistent configuration - Line chart configuration now follows the same Row/Column model as other Pivot visualizations, reducing complexity when switching between chart types.
  • Automatic segmentation limits - When a dimension contains more than 20 values, the chart displays only the top 20 segments based on aggregated metric values.

System Settings

The following updates were made to various System settings:

Enterprise Password Managers

Akeyless Vault- This password manager now supports rotating secrets.

New Network Enrichment Settings

A section titled Network Routes Enrichment Configurations was added to the Network Settings page. Use this section to:

  • Exclude specific subnets from Network Routes queries, such as test/development networks, or internal-only subnets
  • Control whether assets with outbound internet access are included in the enrichment results

Updated Adapters

Improved "Last Seen" Data Coverage Across 28 Integrations

Axonius has optimized the Last Seen field for 28 specific integrations. Previously, while the activity timestamp data was available within these integrations, it was not always fully mapped to the unified Axonius "Last Seen" field. This could cause devices to appear stale or show missing timestamps despite recent activity.

Impact on your workflow:

  • Greater Data Precision: Enjoy more accurate and comprehensive "Last Seen" timestamps across your entire asset inventory.
  • Reduced False Positives: Improved visibility into true device activity helps you more effectively identify genuinely inactive or unmanaged assets.
  • Reliable Automation: Increased confidence in queries, security policies, and enforcement actions that trigger based on device recency.

Adapter Updates

  • Asimily Insight - Added advanced configuration to filter assets by deviceTag for targeted device discovery.
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
    • The Correlate ECS Containers with their EC2 Instance advanced setting was removed from the adapter. This setting previously allowed users to correlate ECS containers with their underlying EC2 instances by setting specific fields on the container entities to match the EC2 instance. Now, ECS containers will always use their container ID as the primary identifier.
    • Added support for additional opt-in regions including ap-east-2, ap-southeast-5, ap-southeast-6, ap-southeast-7, and mx-central-1.
    • Added the option to fetch Expenses as assets from the AWS Cost Explorer API.
  • BigFix
    • Added advanced configuration for "Use relevance query for device fetching" to optimize device collection performance.
