Collector Release Notes Timeline

MGD Collector 33.007

LogicMonitor MGD Collector 33.007 is released on October 06, 2023. GD Collector 33.007 is designated as MGD Collector 33.007, and includes the following updates:

EA Collector 34.400

LogicMonitor EA Collector 34.400 is released on October 05, 2023. It is based on the previously released EA Collector 34.300 and includes the following additional updates.

GD Collector 34.003

LogicMonitor GD Collector 34.003 is released on September 18, 2023. It is a patch to the previously released GD Collector 34.002 and includes the following additional updates.

Enhancement

• The Selenium Synthetics Step Monitoring feature is added to GD Collector 34.003. To access this feature, you must have Platform v.187 (or later) and GD Collector 34.003. With this feature every Synthetics web test is represented as a resource in LogicMonitor. A web test is further divided into steps and collector monitors the steps to give accurate status of each step.

Fixed Issue

• Fixed an issue where after upgrading Linux collector to GD Collector 34.002, the value in the Service Group field was overwritten. This prevented Logicmonitor-agent service from starting when the group was non-existent. After implementing the fix, Logicmonitor-agent service is able to start successfully. This is applicable only to collectors running as non-root, and where the non-root username and group name are different.

GD Collector 33.007

LogicMonitor GD Collector 33.007 is released on September 04, 2023. It is a patch to the previously released GD Collector 33.006 and includes the following additional fix.

Fixed Issue

• Fixed an issue where when updating Linux collector to GD Collector 33.006 the Service Group field was overwritten after the collector upgrade. This prevented the Logicmonitor-agent service from starting when the group was non-existent. After implementing the fix, the Logicmonitor-agent service is able to start successfully. This is applicable only to collectors running as non-root, and where the non root username and group name are different.

EA Collector 34.300

LogicMonitor EA Collector 34.300 is released on August 07, 2023. It is based on the previously released EA Collector 34.200 and includes the following additional updates.

Enhancements

• It was observed that because there was no configuration for the maximum number of threadpool, it was limited to a minimum number of threadpool. Also, the queue limit for the Windows event tasks was not defined. To bridge the gap, we added the following parameters along with the queue size.

The values vary as per the collector size. 

• We have improved the Heap and Non-heap memory of small and medium size collectors for SNMP v2c. 
  • Medium size collectors – Added wrapper.java.additional.24=-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=756m to wrapper.conf 
  • Small size collectors – Added wrapper.java.additional.24=-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=128m to wrapper.conf. Updated wrapper.java.maxmemory=1024 (old value) to wrapper.java.maxmemory=756 (new value)

Fixed Issues

• Upgraded version of the following JAR for a minor security update.

• Fixed an issue where spaces in the script path used in the Windows wrapper javascript command arguments led to errors. To fix the issue, you can now use a placeholder in the command line argument. The placeholder is prefixed with a dollar sign ($) and the name and value of the placeholder is passed as an optional argument. Optional argument must follow the format: "<Placeholder Name>=<Value>"
  For example,

cscript.exe C:\lmbatchjobwrapper.js 10.1.1.1:7214 host myJob "powershell.exe -file $arg1" "arg1=C:\Program Files\Test Space Folder\Powershellcmd2.ps1"

Here, arg1 is the placeholder( $arg1 ) used in the command line argument and "arg1=C:\Program Files\Test Space Folder\Powershellcmd2.ps1" is the optional argument.

GD Collector 33.006

LogicMonitor GD Collector 33.006 is released on July 03, 2023. It is a patch to the previously released GD Collector 33.005 and includes the following additional fix.

Fixed Issue

• Fixed an issue where when you upgrade a collector, the obsolete CAs were re-imported in the upgraded JRE. AWS adds and removes the CAs from the cacert file of JRE mostly in every release. With the fix that we have implemented, the obsolete CAs will not be re-imported in the upgraded JRE.

GD Collector 34.002

LogicMonitor GD Collector 34.002 is released on June 29, 2023. It is a patch to the previously released GD Collector 34.001 and includes the following additional fixes.

Fixed Issues

• Fixed an issue where when you upgrade a collector from GD 34.000 (installed as a non-root user) to GD 34.001, the ping DataSource (DS) stopped working. Certain binaries lacked the required capabilities to perform the ping operation as the upgrade is performed by a non-root user. To fix the issue, we added a new binary setnetcapraw. For the ping DS to work in an upgrade scenario from any collector version to GD 34.002 for non-root docker, run the command sudo setcap cap_setfcap+eip setnetcapraw in the <Agent_Root>/bin folder, and then restart the collector from the LogicMonitor portal. Note that you do not have to run this command when a freshly installed GD-34.002 is upgraded to a higher version.
• Fixed an issue where when you upgrade a collector, the obsolete CAs were re-imported in the upgraded JRE. AWS adds and removes the CAs from the cacert file of JRE mostly in every release. With the fix that we have implemented, the obsolete CAs will not be re-imported in the upgraded JRE.

EA Collector 34.200

LogicMonitor EA Collector 34.200 is released on June 29, 2023. It is based on the previously released EA Collector 34.100 and includes the following additional updates.

Enhancements

• To enhance the WinRM configuration feature, we have introduced reversal logic for SDDL script to revert the changes done by WinRM_Config_01.ps1 and WinRM_Config_02.ps1 scripts. Example:
  • -Noninteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Noprofile -file \\10.55.21.12\To\WinRM_Config_01.ps1 -remove -UserName logicmonitor\ScriptTestUser01 -log True
  • -Noninteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Noprofile -file \\10.55.21.12\To\WinRM_Config_02.ps1 -remove -UserName logicmonitor\ScriptTestUser02 -log True
• To use a specific text from syslog in LogicMonitor logs as a metadata field, we have added a new method “Dynamic Regex Group” to SysLog LogSource field mapping. You can provide the field names separated by comma as ‘key’ and a common regex that has the same number of groups in it to capture these fields.

Fixed Issues

• Upgraded version of the following files for various minor security updates.

• Fixed an issue where WMI query was run with empty credentials. After applying the fix, WMI query will not run with empty credentials. Also, it will reuse the old credentials if the vault machine is down.

GD Collector 34.001

LogicMonitor GD Collector 34.001 is released on June 06, 2023. GD Collector 34.001 is a patch to the previously released GD Collector 34.000 and includes the following additional fix:

Fixed Issue

• Fixed an issue where even after upgrading to GD Collector 33.002, there was a spike in SPSE and PowerShell tasks timed out. To fix the issue of active discovery and data collection gaps in PowerShell modules, we have reverted the changes (addition of host properties to hashtable/environmental variables) introduced in GD Collector 33.001 that caused the performance issue.

GD Collector 33.005

LogicMonitor GD Collector 33.005 is released on June 06, 2023. GD Collector 33.005 is a patch to the previously released GD Collector 33.004 and includes the following additional fix:
