7.3.0 Patch 7 - December 2024

The 7.3.0 Patch 7 release includes fixes and enhancements provided in previous releases.

Enhancements

A new version of the data migration tool is included with this release. This new tool (DM244-D1149) renders improved performance and speed, and the added capability of migrating data from L7700 Appliance and Software Loggers to L8000 Appliance Loggers.
A new platform event (Platform:313) has been created to monitor the apache_ipm instance. While Platform:312 event will continue monitoring the first Apache instance (used for both UI access and to receive events from connectors), Platform:313 will monitor the second Apache instance (exclusively used to receive events from connectors). The different platform events provide clarity regarding which Apache configuration file has been modified.

Fixed Issues

The following issues are fixed in this release.

Issue	Description
`OCTCR33I953005`	Issue: You might face problems setting up a new `sftp` server after applying the August 2024 OS (osupgrade-logger-rhel88_24.08-37.enc) update.
`OCTCR33I943044`	In a Logger L7700 appliance running on RHEL 8.8 (therefore applicable to versions: 7.3.0 Patch3, Patch 4, Patch 5 and Patch 6), even though the configuration backup files are generated correctly, the restore procedure is not able to decompress them due to a missing RHEL 8.8 required parameter. Therefore, after executing the system requested reboot, the data will not be restored.
`OCTCR33I939022`	Issue: For L7700 appliances, applying the September OS update file (osupgrade-logger-rhel88_24.09-10.enc) before updating to Logger7.3.0 P6 will cause loss of connectivity through the iLO remote console.
`OCTCR33I524009`	Issue: No events are shown when exporting from the Search page if the Rerun query option is checked.

Issue

Description

OCTCR33I867120

Issue: Uploading a new lookup file with the On Logger File Location option results in a "Please specify a path and a file" error when the name of the file is too long.

Workaround:

Place the new lookup file in your local machine.
Follow the Uploading Lookup Files procedure using Local as File location option.

OCTCR33I896042

Issue: After a Logger appliance has been upgraded to RHEL 8.8, the root password cannot be changed.

Workaround:

Open the system-auth file with this command:
```
vi /etc/pam.d/system-auth
```
Update the /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so path to:
```
/lib64/security/pam_unix.so
```

OCTCR33I979229

Issue: On Software and L7700 Appliance Loggers running on RHEL or Rocky Linux versions 8.x and 9.x, the system fails to create its configuration backup file. There is no notification of the issue, which only shows in the logger_server.log file.

Workaround:

From the command line, navigate to the path that corresponds to your Logger form factor:
- For Software Logger:
```
<install-path>/current/arcsight/logger/bin/scripts/
```
- For L7700 Logger Appliance:
```
/opt/arcsight/logger/bin/scripts/
```

Open the configbackup.sh file with the text editor of your preference and comment out or remove the following line:

tar cvf $TAR_DIR/configs.tar -P ${ARCSIGHT_LOGGER_USER} --exclude logger/data --exclude logger/folderreader --exclude logger/_* --exclude "*.hprof"

Copy the following line as a replacement, and paste it in the same position in the configbackup.sh file:

tar cvf $TAR_DIR/configs.tar -P --exclude logger/data --exclude logger/folderreader --exclude logger/_* --exclude "*.hprof" ${ARCSIGHT_LOGGER_USER}

Save the configbackup.sh file with the changes.
