Migration Notes from COSMOS 4.4,x:
To upgrade to the latest version of COSMOS, run "bundle update cosmos" in your COSMOS project folder.
Modify you system.txt files to:
- Make sure you have a X_CSRF_TOKEN line with a unique value (anything will do, just change it)
- Change all LISTEN_HOST settings to 127.0.01 unless you need connections from external hosts
- If you know only specific external hosts will be connecting, add ALLOW_ACCESS lines for each
- Only add ALLOW_ROUTER_COMMANDING if you are chaining CmdTlmServers (that need to send commands), or you are receiving commands through routers
- Only add ALLOW_ORIGIN if you expect COSMOS to be accessed from a webpage
- Add ALLOW_HOST :7777, etc if you expect the COSMOS APIs to be accessed from external computers. Otherwise it will only accept connections that have a HOST header set to localhost
v5.0.0-alpha.1
I am proud to announce the release of COSMOS 5 Alpha 1!
COSMOS 5 is a highly scalable, cloud native, command and control software system. This is a technology preview release meant to introduce all of the new technologies debuting in COSMOS 5.
New Technologies:
- Docker - COSMOS 5 runs across a set of containers managed by Docker
- Redis - Redis is used as a key-value store, and streaming data server
- Minio - Minio provides an S3 compatible file storage server
- EFK Stack - Elasticsearch, Fluentd, Kibana - Provide a distributed logging solution
- Vue.js - Javascript technology used to build the new COSMOS user interface
Basic versions of the following COSMOS tools are included in this release:
- Command and Telemetry Server
- Command Sender
- Packet Viewer
- Telemetry Viewer
- Telemetry Grapher
- Script Runner
- Limits Monitor
Prerequisites:
Docker - Running COSMOS 5 requires a working Docker installation. Typically Docker Desktop on Windows / Mac. Plain docker should work on linux. We're currently only developing / running with Docker Desktop on Windows, so if you have any issues on another platform, please let us know by submitting a ticket!
Minimum Resources allocated to Docker: 4GB RAM, 1 CPU, 60GB Disk
Recommended Resources allocated to Docker: 8GB RAM, 2+ CPUs, 100GB Disk
To Run:
- Download one of the archives (.zip or .tar.gz from the Github release page) Download Release Here
- Extract the archive somewhere on your host computer
- The COSMOS 5 containers are designed to work and be built in the presence of an SSL Decryption device. To support this a cacert.pem file can be placed at the base of the COSMOS 5 project that includes any certificates needed by your organization. If you don't need this, then please ignore, but if you see any SSL errors, this is probably why.
- Run cosmos_start.bat (Windows), or cosmos_start.sh (linux/Mac)
- COSMOS 5 will be built and when ready should be running (~15 mins for first run, ~2 for subsequent)
- Connect a web browser to http://localhost:8080
- Have fun trying out COSMOS 5!
Please try it out and let us know what you think! Please submit any issues as Github tickets, or any generic feedback to COSMOS@ball.com.
Note that this release is not ready for production use. We will have a more beta ready release in a few months.
Thanks!
v4.4.2
COSMOS 4.4.2! A minor bug fix release.
Enjoy and see below for the full list of changes.
New Features:
None
Maintenance:
#1117 Include name in TcpipServerInteface log messages
#1128 wkhtmltopdf has old comment
Bug Fixes:
#1126 Packets with identically named items fail checks
Migration Notes from COSMOS 4.3.0:
To upgrade to the latest version of COSMOS, run "bundle update cosmos" in your COSMOS project folder.
The faster identification in ticket #911 does come with a potentially breaking change. The improvement requires that all packets for a given target be identified using the same fields (bit offset, bit_size, and type). This is the typical configuration, and breaking this pattern is typically a dangerous/bad choice for interfaces anyways, but previously COSMOS did default to handling packets being potentially identified using different fields in the same target. If you have a target that still requires that functionality, you need to declare CMD_UNIQUE_ID_MODE, and/or TLM_UNIQUE_ID_MODE in the target's target.txt file to indicate it should use the slower identification method.
See the COSMOS documentation for directions on setting up DART: http://cosmosrb.com/docs/home/
v4.4.1
Onward to COSMOS 4.4.1! 27 tickets have been incorporated including 6 new features, 13 bug fixes and 8 general maintenance changes.
Mainly a stability bug fix release, but there are a few cool changes. There is an new keyword for marking that bit overlaps are intentional in packet definition files. This can get rid of those annoying warnings when you do this intentionally. There is also a new DELETE_ITEM keyword to get rid of items potentially added by auto generation. Tlm Extractor and Tlm Grapher can now pull more than 10,000 data points from DART. Also, there is now the ability to package multiple targets into one gem.
Enjoy and see below for the full list of changes.
New Features:
#817 Allow for intentional bit overlaps in definition
#821 Support DART queries larger than 10000 samples in TlmExtractor / TlmGrapher
#922 DELETE_ITEM
#1028 Support Multiple Targets Packaged into Single Gem
#1040 Config Editor new system config wizard

v4.4.0
Here's COSMOS 4.4.0! 52 tickets have been incorporated including 18 new features, 19 bug fixes and 15 general maintenance changes.
Overall this is just a stability bug fix release, but there are a few interesting changes. For one, max packet reception speed has been greatly increased due to ticket #911. CmdExtractor can now output in a CSV format. ScriptRunner has a recently opened file menu section, and the show_backtrace feature is now a menu option as well. There is much better support for giving absolute paths to config files on the command line. There is also a new LED type widget to display boolean telemetry.
Enjoy and see below for the full list of changes.

v4.3.0
Welcome to COSMOS 4.3.0!
The highlight of this release is built in support for differentiating between stored telemetry and realtime telemetry. If your system downlinks stored telemetry that you don't want to interfere with the COSMOS realtime current value table, your interface/protocol code can set the stored flag on a packet before returning it to COSMOS to have COSMOS log the packet, but not update the current telemetry values.
Lots of other new features as well, and a few bug fixes including fixing running on the latest version of Mac OSX. See below for the full list.
Breaking Changes:
The COSMOS log file format and predentified protocol formats have changed to support stored telemetry. COSMOS 4.3 is backwards compatible with earlier formats, but older versions of COSMOS won't be able to read files from COSMOS 4.3+.
New Features:
#780 Search bar support for Command Sequence
#785 Adjust font size
#804 Add classification bar to all tools
#808 Add CANVASELLIPSE widget
#814 Changes to support stored telemetry
#815 Create a temporary screen from a script
#818 Catch all state for any undefined state values
#819 Ensure x values added in incrementing order in TlmGrapher
#823 Add protocol to ignore any packet
#826 Allow hash style access to Excel
#829 Add STAY_ON_TOP feature to telemetry screens
#851 Ensure step_mode displays Step button
#859 Change Script Runner highlight color when paused
Maintenance:
#796 Handle Command Sequence Export Issues
#807 Revert Items with STATE cannot define FORMAT_STRING
#812 Ruby 2.5 Instrumented Code outside of methods in a class
#855 Remove Qt warning message on Windows 10
#858 Fix JRuby build issues
Bug Fixes:
#837 Packet Viewer's "Hide Ignored Items" Incorrectly Persists Across Change of Packet
#840 Latest version of COSMOS crashing
#845 Support get_tlm_details in disconnect mode
Migration Notes from COSMOS 4.2.x:
To upgrade to the latest version of COSMOS, run "bundle update cosmos" in your COSMOS project folder.
See the COSMOS documentation for directions on setting up DART: http://cosmosrb.com/docs/home/
v4.2.4
This is the second patch release for 4.2. It greatly improves the ingest speed for DART (100x), improves decom speed, reduces database size, and fixes some bugs. If you are using DART, please upgrade and follow the migration directions at the end of these release notes.
The highlight of COSMOS 4.2 is a new tool called the Data Archival and Retrieval Tool (DART). DART is a long term trending database built on top of the PostgreSql database. It integrates directly with TlmGrapher, TlmExtractor, CmdExtractor, DataViewer, and Replay, allowing you to do historical queries of logged telemetry (and commands) by specifying a time range. Queries are super fast and it performs automatic data reduction at minute/hour/day granularity. Consider setting it up for your project and start data mining today!
See the COSMOS documentation for directions on setting up DART: http://cosmosrb.com/docs/home/
New Features:
#787 No way to control data bits on serial interface
#788 ROUTERS should support PROTOCOL keyword
Maintenance:
#784 Comparable and spaceship operator behavior changing
