Impart Product Update - Nov 2025

We’ve delivered a major round of upgrades across the Impart platform, introducing new AI Bot/MCP and LLM Protection dashboards, a refreshed and more intuitive App Experience, a high-performance Inspector v0.42.0 release, expanded Inspector Metrics for deeper operational visibility, and new SQLi and XSS version control, allowing teams to choose between Detection Version 1, Version 2, or always use the latest release. These updates make it easier than ever to understand AI-driven traffic, configure protections with clarity, manage detection behavior with precision, monitor system performance, and optimize your entire Impart deployment.

New AI Bot/MCP & LLM Protection Dashboards

We’ve launched new AI Bot/MCP and LLM Protection dashboards inside the Impart Apps experience—bringing deeper visibility and actionable intelligence to the growing world of AI-driven traffic.

What’s New

AI & LLM Provider Traffic Insights
See which AI or LLM providers are interacting with your application. These insights help you understand automated agent behavior, detect anomalies, and manage exposure.

Utility-Level Analysis
Break down traffic by AI utility or function to pinpoint how AI agents are using your endpoints—whether for retrieval, summarization, automation, or other tasks.

Top Endpoint Activity
Identify which endpoints are most frequently accessed by AI bots and MCPs so you can prioritize monitoring, tune protections, and enforce controls where they matter most.

Integrated with LLM Protections
These dashboards pair seamlessly with Impart’s LLM protection capabilities, giving you a unified view of both traffic patterns and enforcement—making it easier to understand impact and adjust configurations with confidence.

Impart App Experience Refresh

We’re continuing to expand our library of Apps; out-of-the-box protections designed to help you get started faster, with minimal setup and maximum impact. Apps are simple to enable, and easy to manage, and AI-native by design, giving you powerful controls without the complexity. Customers love them because they make it effortless to stay protected, and we’re always adding more to meet evolving needs. We’ve refreshed the Impart App Experience to make it even easier to configure powerful, use-case–specific security protections. Apps have always been a simple way to deploy focused security controls—now they’re more intuitive, insightful, and streamlined than ever.

What’s New

A cleaner, more intuitive APP experience
We redesigned app navigation so it’s easier to find what you need, understand available protections, and configure settings with confidence.

Built-in metrics & dashboards
Each app now includes relevant, contextual dashboards so you can instantly gather pertinent insights. These insights make it simpler to assess impact, tune configurations, and keep protections aligned with your goals.

Faster, clearer configuration
We clarified controls, improved workflow guidance, and made setup steps more consistent across all apps.

Inspector v0.42.0

Inspector v0.42.0 is now live, bringing momentous performance improvements, smarter WASM loader management, new configurability options, and expanded visibility through additional metrics. Check out the release notes here.

Key Improvements

Smarter, More Efficient WASM Loader Pool
This release debuts a redesigned WASM loader pool with:

• CPU-aware automatic sizing (now the default), preventing oversubscription on small deployments
• Hot-swapping loaders when WASM bundles update
• Usage-based & memory-based cleanup to reclaim resources from long-running loaders
• Burst queuing and improved WASM garbage-collection distribution

Breaking change: --rule_workers_pool now defaults to 0 (auto-calculate) instead of 40.

New Configuration Controls

• --rule_workers_pool_low_watermark to set a minimum number of idle workers
• --rule_workers_pool_max_loader_uses to recycle loaders after a certain number of uses
• --rule_workers_pool_max_loader_pages to trigger cleanup when memory usage exceeds a threshold

These give operators tighter control over performance and memory consumption.

Expanded Metrics & Observability

New metrics help diagnose loader performance, memory growth, and request buffering behaviors:

Loader creation & memory metrics

• inspector.server.rules.worker.creation.time
• inspector.server.rules.worker.creation.memory (gauge)

Request buffering metrics

• inspector.server.inspection.buffer.wait_time
• inspector.server.inspection.buffer.timeout
• inspector.server.inspection.buffer.evicted

Updated tagging for clearer insights

• inspector.server.rules.worker.pool.rejected now always includes a reason tag
• inspector.server.inspection.canceled.no_rules_worker now includes a reason tag

Telemetry defaults updated

• metrics_upload_enabled now defaults to true, ensuring metrics flow to Impart Cloud out of the box.

Performance Enhancements

• WASM runtime optimizations for faster execution
• Updated dependencies for improved stability and security

New Inspector Metrics

We’ve expanded the Inspector’s observability with a comprehensive set of Inspector Metrics—giving you clearer visibility into how the inspector is performing and helping you troubleshoot issues faster.

What’s New

Server Inspection Metrics
Monitor inspection volume, request throughput, and how the inspector behaves under varying load conditions.

Inspection Timing & Latency Metrics
Track end-to-end inspection times, queue wait durations, and processing latency to quickly pinpoint performance bottlenecks.

Rule & Worker Performance Metrics
Evaluate how individual rules and rule workers perform, identify slow or resource-heavy rules, and spot opportunities for optimization.

…and many more operational insights
Additional metrics capture system health, buffering behavior, memory usage patterns, worker lifecycle events, and internal performance signals—providing a fuller picture of inspector behavior across environments.

SQLi & XSS Detection Version 2 + New Version Configuration Controls

We’ve released configurable detection versioning for SQL Injection (SQLi) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) detections—bringing improved accuracy, reduced noise, and stronger coverage.

What’s New

• SQLi v2 & XSS v2: Enhanced detection logic with better pattern recognition and fewer false positives.
• Configurable Detection Versioning:
  Users can now choose which detection engine version their environment uses:
  • Version 1
  • Version 2
  • Latest (automatically updates to future versions as they are released)

This gives teams full control over rollout and compatibility, allowing gradual adoption, instant upgrades, or stability with a specific version.
