The following sections outline the key features and functions provided by this version, as well as issues resolved in this release:
The Manage Agents dashboard is now integrated within Change Guardian main UI, enabling you to perform actions such as managing agents, installing agents on assets, applying agent packages, collecting agent logs, and more.
Change Guardian lets you configure an event failover destination for a steady flow of event data when the primary event destination is not available, thus minimizing the possibility of event loss.
The Manage Health Notification dashboard now allows users to select and list agent group names to be notified for better usability.
The agents that have missed a heartbeat due to system issues are listed as offline agents until the next heartbeat. When the system issue is resolved and the agent is back online, it no longer appears under Offline Agents. You can manage the offline agents using Manage Offline Agents Dashboard under Configuration.
