# What's New in CTERA Portal Version 8.3.3000.x

## Infrastructure improvements

### Ability to Send Logs to More than One Syslog Server

After enabling a Syslog server in the portal, you can add Syslog servers using the following CLI: `portal-syslog-client add_syslog_server <ip> <port> <protocol> [name] [ca_cert] [client_cert] [client_key]`

**Required Parameters** **ip** – IP address of the syslog server **port** – Port number of the syslog server **protocol** – Protocol to use (UDP, TCP/TLS, or TCP/ClientCertAuth)

**Optional Parameters** **name** – Unique identifier for the server (auto-generated if not provided). **ca_cert** – CA certificate file (required for TLS). **client_cert** – Client certificate file (**required** for client authentication). **client_key** – Client private key file (**required** for client authentication).

**Notes**

- You cannot add multiple servers with the same IP and port combination.
- If you add a server with a name that already exists, the existing server will be updated.
- All certificate files must exist and be readable. All certificates need to be placed under `/usr/local/lib/ctera/syslog/logstash/tls`
- The service automatically creates a new logstash pipeline configuration for each server.

### Core Infrastructure Upgrades

Key infrastructure components have been upgraded including:

- The Tomcat server
- The JDK
- The Blocks table has been changed to include map files instead of having the map files stored as objects in the storage node.
**Note**

You cannot upgrade the portal while running a storage node migration.

### FIPS 140-3 Validation

The portal now supports FIPS 140-3.
