MonitorWare Agent 14.4 Released

Release Date: 2023-06-21

Build-IDs: Service 14.4.0.556, Client 14.4.0.1645

Bugfixes

    • Syslog Action: Fixed a very rare case where an Action could try to open **TCP connections** to the same target **multiple times simultaneously**. The handling has been hardened to avoid concurrent connection establishment retries for the same Action.
    • Syslog Action: Fixed error handling when **the** connection fails and Syslog Caching is enabled. If a syslog backup server is enabled, the action will now retry the primary server correctly again after syslog caching has been activated.
    • EventLog Monitor V2: Fixed an issue in XML-Stream Processing that could cause failure in processing an EventLog Message.
    • Send Email: Fixed an issue handling server multiline replies. Some mailservers return multiline replies when additional protocol data is to be returned. In some cases, these additional protocol data **were** not detected correctly, causing the Action to fail.
    • LogRotate: Corrected error reporting when the feature is not available **due to** licensing.
    • Network Core: **Enhanced stability** during closing connections.

MonitorWare Agent 14.4 released

Adiscon is proud to announce the 14.4 release of MonitorWare Agent.

In this recent update, a significant enhancement has been made to the Syslog Action. It now robustly prevents concurrent TCP connection establishment retries in the rare case of an action attempting to open multiple connections to the same target simultaneously. Additionally, we’ve improved error handling in situations where the connection fails and Syslog Caching is enabled; the action will now correctly retry the primary server once syslog caching has been activated, ensuring smooth operation even with a backup syslog server enabled.

We’ve also made corrections to the EventLog Monitor V2, specifically resolving an issue that could cause failure in processing an EventLog Message due to problems in XML-Stream Processing. Furthermore, in the Send Email action, we’ve addressed an issue where server multiline replies were not detected correctly, thereby strengthening the overall email communication process.

Our team has worked on refining the LogRotate feature, focusing on improved error reporting for situations when the feature is unavailable due to licensing constraints. In our continuous efforts towards enhancing stability, the Network Core’s performance during closing connections has been substantially upgraded.

With MonitorWare Agent 14.4, we remain dedicated to providing the highest level of security and stability to support your network monitoring needs.

Detailed information can be found in the version history.

Version 14.4 is a free download. Customers with existing 13.x keys can contact our Sales department for upgrade prices.
