Agent Upgrade

To upgrade, re-install the Agent. See Install Node Agents for instructions for your Agent platform.

Agents do not require an upgrade unless a feature available in an updated version of the Agent is needed. Older versions of the Agent are compatible with newer versions of the Master Server.

Version 2.0.15 of the Linux Node Agent works with Master Servers running version 2.0.15 and above.

Upgrade your Agent to the corresponding Agent version to use the following features:

Feature	Agent Platform	Agent Version
Feature: Distributed Scanning is now officially supported in this release of ER2. This revolutionary method steps away from the one-Target-one-Agent approach, allowing you to dispatch multiple Proxy Agents to scan a single Target or Target location.	All	2.0.31
Improvement: The Windows Node Agent application update to indicate the architecture version of the installed Node Agent. The 64-bit and 32-bit Windows Node Agent will be displayed as "Enterprise Recon 2 Agent (x64)" and "Enterprise Recon 2 Agent (x32)" respectively.	Windows	2.0.29
Fix: Installing the AIX Node Agent RPM package in a custom location using the '--prefix' command would cause a "Path is not relocatable for package er2-2.0.xx-aix61-power.rpm" error.	AIX	2.0.29
Fix: Scanning Oracle database Targets containing an excessive number of matches could cause a scanning engine failure.	All	2.0.29
Improvement: Easily scan all site collections within a SharePoint on-premise deployment with the updated SharePoint module. Furthermore, the new credential management scheme enables you to conveniently scan all resources in a SharePoint Server even when multiple access credentials are required.	All	2.0.28
Improvement: Easily scan all site collections, sites, lists, folders and files for a given SharePoint Online web application.	All	2.0.28
Fix: Changing the Group that a Target belongs to while a scan is in progress would cause the scan to stop.	All	2.0.28
Fix: Repeated connection attempts by Node Agents from IP addresses that are denied via Access Control List rules would cause the datastore size to increase very quickly. With this fix, additional timeout is introduced before each reconnection attempt, resulting in lesser logs and subsequently a reduced datastore size.	All	2.0.28
Fix: Non-unique keys were generated in certain scenarios during Node Agent installation.	All	2.0.28
Fix: Scans appeared to be stalling when scanning cloud Targets with a huge number of files. This fix will improve the time required for initialising cloud Target scans.	All	2.0.28
Fix: Issue where Agent failure occurs if too many concurrent scans are assigned to it.	All	2.0.27
Fix: Issue where an incorrect scan time is displayed in email notifications.	All	2.0.27
Improvement: Clearer error message is displayed when Agent host has insufficient disk space for scan to start.	All	2.0.27
Fix: Issue where when upgrading an RPM-based Linux Agent, the terminal would warn that that the symbolic link for "/etc/init.d/er2-agent" exists.	Linux	2.0.27
Fix: Issue where scanning a PostgreSQL database containing blobs would cause high memory usage by the Agent.	Windows, Linux	2.0.27
Feature: Users can now scan IBM Informix databases.	Windows	2.0.26
Feature: Users can now scan SharePoint Online.	All	2.0.26
Fix: Issue where pausing a scan and then restarting the Master Server would cause the Master Server to lose track of the scan.	All	2.0.26
Feature: Users can now scan Tibero databases.	All	2.0.24
Feature: Users can now scan SharePoint Server.	All	2.0.24
Feature: Users can now scan Hadoop Clusters. Requires Linux 3 Agent with database runtime components.	Linux	2.0.24
Feature: Users can now set the time zone when scheduling a new scan.	All	2.0.23
Improvement: Global Filters now apply to all existing and future scheduled scans.	All	2.0.22
Improvement: Changing the Proxy Agent assigned to a Cloud Target will no longer require user to update credentials with a new access key.	All	2.0.22
Feature: Users can now probe Targets to browse available scan locations.	All	2.0.21
Feature: Users can now install Agents in a custom location on AIX, Linux and Solaris.	AIX, Linux, Solaris, Windows	2.0.21
Fix: Issue where temporary binaries are not cleared when remote scans complete.	AIX, Linux, Solaris, Windows	2.0.21
Improvement: Files are checked for changes since the last scan when remediation is attempted.	All	2.0.20
Improvement: Windows Agent service is now a non-interactive process.	Windows	2.0.20
Feature: Agent can be configured to use its host’s fully qualified domain name (FQDN) instead of host name when connecting to the Master Server.	All	2.0.18
