-With {product-title-short} 4.7, you can now see the status of a violation directly on the *Violations* page so that you can quickly determine whether the violation is still active. This streamlines automation workflows, such as creating a Jira ticket and sending it to an owner who does not use {product-title-short} regularly.

This streamlines automation workflows, such as creating a Jira ticket and sending it to an owner who does not use {product-title-short} regularly.
 
 By following the link in the ticket, the owner can immediately see if the violation is still relevant, reducing the risk of unnecessary delays or deprioritization. In addition, the page provides the full context of the violation and ensures that all relevant details are immediately available.

 === Enhanced options for the roxctl netpol generate command
 
-In {product-title-short} 4.7, the `roxctl netpol generate` command automatically detects when DNS connections are required and generates them accordingly. If you do not specify a port, port `53` is selected automatically, but you can change this by using the `--dnsport` flag. The `--dnsport` flag also accepts port names in addition to numbers. For example,`--dnsport dns`.

 You can use port names as a more robust method of specifying the port if the service has a defined name.
 If you are a {osp} customer and use the default DNS setting, you should use the `--dnsport` flag to change the default port, as the OpenShift DNS pod listens on port `5353`.

 * Scanner V4 now uses Red{nbsp}Hat VEX files instead of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) map to provide vulnerability data for non-RPM content in official Red{nbsp}Hat images.
 * You can no longer set the `ROX_NODE_INDEX_CONTAINER_API` environment variable in the Compliance pod. The node scanner never used this variable because the node scanner never connected to the Red{nbsp}Hat Container Catalog.

-To enable node scanning with Scanner V4 while the nodes continue to be scanned in parallel with Scanner V2, update the variable ROX_NODE_INDEX_ENABLED variable from a Boolean setting to a feature flag. This change ensures that the {product-title-short} portal can access the setting through the Central API.
