MonitorWare Agent 12.1 released

Adiscon is proud to announce the 12.1 release of MonitorWare Agent.

While this is a minor release, it offers considerable security
improvements for syslog. Now, when TLS/SSL is configured, the user has
full control over TLS options like ciphers, hashes and protocols.
There are GUI settings for the most common options, but also the
ability to provide in-depth detail configuration of each and every
aspect via TLS library specific strings. The insecure protocol list
has been updated and the SSLv2 protocol is now disabled by
default.

The RELP protocol has been upgraded to the newest version and now also
supports TLS/SSL.

The LogNorm Action has been hardened and supports / processes Array types now

The property replacer has also been enhanced: it now supports the new
“cef” option to convert properties into a valid McAffee CEF FORMAT
string.

Detailed information can be found in the version history.

Version 12.1 is a free download. Customers with existing 11.x keys can contact our Sales department for upgrade prices.
