TrueCommand 2.0 is now available after completing its BETA phase. Significant new features include:
TrueCommand 2.x uses a much faster and lightweight InfluxDB instead of a PostgreSQL database. This time-series database improves general performance and specifically improves the performance of Cloud instances significantly. This extra performance gives TrueCommand the ability to monitor real-time, per-second statistics rather than the previous 30 second intervals without changing the network bandwidth significantly. These additions will dramatically improve the ability to diagnose occasional performance issues and their root causes.
Improvements to real-time monitoring and stats gathering
TrueCommand 2.0 also brings new features including a Storage Navigator and iSCSI Manager. Previously, it was possible to monitor datasets, but now it is possible to create, manage, and delete datasets and volumes. Also new is the ability to automate the creation of iSCSI LUNs. System-down alerts have been improved to be less sensitive to network interruptions. These additions will save administrators time and simplify the management of multiple TrueNAS nodes.
Storage Navigator simplifies Dataset Management
TrueCommand Cloud benefits significantly from the improved database performance and also gets a cloud-secure Web Proxy capability to enable Single Sign-On for all TrueNAS systems. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) will significantly benefit from this.
TrueCommand 2.0 is the primary cluster management UI for TrueNAS SCALE with Single Sign-on (SSO). TrueCommand 2.0 can create clusters and cluster volumes. Alerts for the whole cluster can be managed from a single screen and fed to either email or PagerDuty. The whole TrueNAS cluster can be managed via TrueCommand Cloud as a service.

With all these additions, TrueCommand 2.0 is the single pane of glass for:
You can download TrueCommand 2.0 immediately. Please provide any feedback via this forum post.
Important Note for Upgrading from 1.x:
When first updating to TrueCommand 2.0 from v1.3, the database migration process is run. This preserves all configuration data but does not preserve old performance statistics. It is not possible to rollback to TrueCommand 1.3, so please use caution when upgrading production TrueCommand systems. If necessary, you can run TrueCommand 1.3 and TrueCommand 2.0 in parallel for a transition period.
