New features

DEA agent compatible with ARM architecture

From Endpoint Agent 1.5.0, the deployment process generates extra packages for ARM architectures. Users can download an ARM-compatible package from the service available in port 8081.

EPEL check in Amazon Linux 2

EPEL checks are performed during installation, avoiding reinstallation in certain cases, which contributes to a reduced deployment time in Amazon Linux 2.

Check inventory including dependencies

EA deployment package includes a tool that helps check the state of the environment before starting the deployment process. The checkinvt tool now checks the status of required dependencies to ensure that the environment is ready for deployment.

Number of outputs towards Devo

Expose the configuration of the number of sockets that will be established toward Devo.

By default, EA Manager opens five sockets toward Devo, and when events are sent, it selects one of the available sockets to send the data to. In the case that the thread cannot retrieve an available socket, an error is sent back to the Endpoint Agent and buffering occurs on the client side. To allow users to tune this scenario where the EA Manager has enough resources to allow for more outbound sockets, new configurations are exposed at EA Manager level.

This parameter can be configured to solve congestion issues.
