+# SystemLink Enterprise release 2024-09 Release Notes
+
+The 2024-09 release for SystemLink Enterprise has been published to <https://downloads.artifacts.ni.com>. This update includes new features, bug fixes, and security updates. Work with your account representative to obtain credentials to access these artifacts. If you are not upgrading from the previous release, refer to past release notes to ensure you have addressed all required configuration changes.
+
+## New Features and Behavior changes
+
+- Navigate to Operations » Schedule to view the test plans scheduled across all systems in timeline view - [Viewing Scheduled Test Plans](https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/systemlink-enterprise/page/viewing-scheduled-test-plans.html).
+- Use the following new features when [visualizing data tables in data spaces](https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/systemlink-enterprise/page/visualizing-data-tables-in-a-data-space.html).
+    - Search for columns to plot from the axis selection grid.
+    - Color traces by data table and by column metadata.
+- Adjust how long the SystemLink Enterprise Alarm Service keeps your alarms - [Configuring Alarm Retention](https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/systemlink-enterprise/page/configuring-alarm-retention.html).
+    - [View this service configuration](https://github.com/ni/install-systemlink-enterprise/blob/2024-09/getting-started/templates/systemlink-values.yaml#L469)
+- Adjust how many alarms you can create in the SystemLink Enterprise Alarm Service - [Configuring Alarm Limits](https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/systemlink-enterprise/page/configuring-alarm-limits.html).
+    - [View this service configuration](https://github.com/ni/install-systemlink-enterprise/blob/2024-09/getting-started/templates/systemlink-values.yaml#L484)
+- Learn about the [performance metrics for the Dashboard Host Alarm Service](https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/systemlink-enterprise/page/performance-metrics-dashboard-host-service.html).
+- Privilege **List published notebooks in SystemLink and download published notebooks into the Jupyter development environment** was split to **List available notebooks** to list the published notebooks, and **List published notebooks in SystemLink and download published notebooks into the Jupyter development environment** to list and download notebooks for notebook development.
+    - This privilege is enabled by default for Collaborator, Data Maintainer, and Systems Maintainer built-in roles.
+    - For the Automated Agent, the **List published notebooks in SystemLink and download published notebooks into the Jupyter development environment** privilege will be removed, as the Automated Agent should not need to download the notebooks content.
+- Support for [Private Certificate Authorities](https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/systemlink-enterprise/page/private-certificate-authorities.html).
+    - Connect to MongoDB and S3 compatible interfaces that use certificates signed by a private authority.
+    - Call SystemLink APIs from Jupyter Notebook when the SystemLink API endpoint is configured to use a certificate signed by a private authority.
+    - Trusted certificates specified at `global.trustedCertificatesSecrets` are now installed on servers that use Jupyter. These certificates are used when calling SystemLink or other external APIs from notebooks.
+    - Trusted certificates specified at `global.trustedCertificatesSecrets` are now installed on execution pods. These certificates are used when calling SystemLink or other external APIs from the pods.
+- Added abilities to configure the rate-limit values for notebook APIs inside the Helm chart.
+- Notebook Execution Service
+    - Created a dedicated swagger page for Artifact APIs.
+    - Implemented Rate limiting for the Artifact APIs.
+    - Created S3 buckets for Artifact APIs.
+- Notebook Execution Service, Systems Management Service
+    - Added support for deploying a custom CA root to all managed clients.
+        - [View this service configuration](https://github.com/ni/install-systemlink-enterprise/blob/2024-09/getting-started/templates/systemlink-values.yaml#L119)
+
+## Helm Chart Breaking Changes
+
+- `dataframeservice:1.9.38`, `dremio-ee:24.1.2`
+    - Support was added for configuring custom CA certificates to connect to S3 and MongoDB through the `global.trustedCertificatesSecrets` YAML value.
+        - [View this service configuration](https://github.com/ni/install-systemlink-enterprise/blob/2024-09/getting-started/templates/systemlink-values.yaml#L113)
+    - This may conflict with the use of `extraInitContainers`, `extraVolumes`, and `extraVolumeMounts` to manually add certificates to containers.
+    - When setting `global.trustedCertificatesSecrets`, you must also remove `dataframeservice.extraInitContainers`, `dataframeservice.extraVolumes`, `dataframeservice.extraVolumeMounts`, `dataframeservice.sldremio.extraInitContainers`, `dataframeservice.sldremio.extraVolumes`, and `dataframeservice.sldremio.extraVolumeMounts` that are related to configuring certificates.
+
+## Upgrade Considerations
+
+### RabbitMQ Version
+
+SystemLink Enterprise includes a deployment of the [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/) message bus. Since you cannot skip minor versions when updating RabbitMQ, you may not be able to upgrade directly between versions of the SystemLink Enterprise product. The table below shows the version of the RabbitMQ dependency for each released version of SystemLink Enterprise. Refer to [Updating SystemLink Enterprise](https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/systemlink-enterprise/page/updating-systemlink-enterprise.html) for detailed update instructions.
+
+| RabbitMQ Version | First SystemLink Enterprise Version | Last SystemLink Enterprise Version |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
+| 3.11.x           | 0.12.x                              | 0.15.x                             |
+| 3.12.x           | 0.16.x                              | 0.24.x                             |
+| 3.13.x           | 0.25.x                              | current                            |
