Changes and Improvements

Files and Folders Remote Monitoring: The path of the file or folder to monitor can now contain environment variables.
Command Lines Analysis: Performance has been improved for remote Windows command lines analysis.
Monitoring Studio now supports AES 256 encryption.
Monitoring Studio now supports carriage returns in configuration variables when importing a PATROL classic configuration in a CMA policy.
Database Query Analysis: The default port number for Microsoft SQL Server is now 1433.
Debug Mode:
It is now possible to indicate the date and time at which the system must stop logging debug information.
Debug files are now automatically generated in the %PATROL_HOME%\log or $PATROL_HOME/log folder.
As TrueSight Presentation Server does not support Agent Actions, it is no longer possible to turn on and off the debug mode through the Agent Actions > Debug… menu command.
The product build number is now reported in the debug log file.
The Collection Hub debug file now contains more detailed information about its operations.
The Collection Hub is now separated from other KMs. As a result, files are no longer shared with other KMs, thus preventing any compatibility issues.

Fixed Issues

Local files Monitoring: Monitoring Studio failed to properly set the Exists attribute to ‘1’ for local files that were detected as ‘not present’ upon a collect.
Folders Monitoring on a localhost (UNIX or Linux):  Monitoring Studio would sometimes report incorrect values for the Exists attribute and trigger false alerts.
Command Lines Analysis|Files and Folders Remote Monitoring: When an error occurred, the error message displayed in the annotation of the Status attribute was empty.
SNMP Trap Listening: Monitoring Studio now properly handles SNMP Traps coming from a an IP Address that equals to "0.0.0.0".
Database Query Analysis: In some cases, when performing a SQL query on a Microsoft SQL database, the connection to the Microsoft SQL server failed with the following error message: “Unable to get information from SQL Server:<hostname>”. The Microsoft SQL Driver has been updated to fix the connection error.
Group constants: the constant value was converted to uppercase preventing all case sensitive Monitors (e.g., Command Lines, Files, Folders, etc.) from using it.
The Collection Hub no longer crashes when too many requests time out simultaneously.
Monitoring Studio would sometimes be unable to access the passwords saved in the secure store which would lead to connection issues.

Known Limitations

SNMP Trap Listening: SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 are not supported.
