In distributed mode, saving a default template without making changes caused the template settings to change, frequently restarting agents and stopping log collection. EDR-2688 #86386
Changes made to default templates were lost after upgrading AgentX Manager to v1.5.0, stopping log collection. EDR-2869,
EDR-1977

Key Information

  • AgentX Cluster can only be configured on a Distributed Logpoint set up using an IP address.
  • When using AgentX, keep the IP address as the Logpoint server alias in System Settings. Don’t modify it. If you do, an "AgentX server is down" error is triggered when adding a device in AgentX.
  • If there are multiple network interfaces, AgentX configuration is applied only to the primary interface. To implement the configuration on the secondary interface, your network administrator must configure it within your routing protocol.
  • Downgrading AgentX Server from v1.4.2 to v1.2.0 after installing AgentX Manager v1.4.6 may cause log loss and is not recommended. If a downgrade is necessary, contact support.
    If you are using AgentX in distributed mode, then upgrading it from previous versions to v1.4.6 will break the connection between all nodes in the distributed architecture, stopping log transmission across the entire setup. The workaround can be found here.
  • AgentX Manager v1.2.1 is not compatible with AgentX Server v1.4.2. Go to version compatibility matrix for more information.
  • When upgrading the AgentX Server, please note that the new version may take some time to reflect due to its file size exceeding 500MB.
  • The installation of Windows Installer v1.4.2 might take more than one minute.
