What's New?

The following is the key feature provided by this version, as well as issues resolved in this release:

Replaces Security Manager Support with Sentinel Support

This release of the UNIX agent now allows you to use the agent to monitor UNIX and Linux computers in a Sentinel environment. For information about how to install the UNIX agent for a Sentinel environment, see the Sentinel UNIX Agent Installation Guide on the NetIQ Documentation page.

This release of the UNIX agent does not support Security Manager. This release of UNIX Agent Manager allows you to view existing UNIX agents that you have installed for a Security Manager environment, but does not support changing the configuration of the security rules. If you want to maintain older agents for Security Manager, ensure that you also maintain an older version of UNIX Agent Manager so you can change settings when necessary.

UNIX Agent Manager Can Import Extremely Large List of Agents

UNIX Agent Manager no longer has an extremely slow response time when importing more than 500 agents. ENG329423
