   Build 3.2.4 – August 29, 2024
Item Number Description

SERVER-720

New Agent Package Upload through ZMC.

New ZeroLock Agent versions may now be uploaded through the ZMC, removing the requirement to manually add the package to the server/zerolock-server/database/asset directory for import access.

   

SERVER-735

Tenant Agent Uploads

The current installations and agentFiles tables are not tenanted. While installations have a tenantId column, it’s always zero.  To support the SaaS solution, this process must now use a tenantId.

  • The agentFiles table has been modified to use a tenantId column.
  • An agentFiles model is created.
  • The installations table will use the tenantId column.
  • The new agent upload functionality uploads for the user’s tenant.
  • The current file watch process in agents.loadAssets() must load for all tenants when a filesystem change is processed.
   
Server-744

Deep Ordered Ruleset Duplication

This feature adds the ability to duplicate all rules in an ordered ruleset and duplicate the rules and rulesets it contains.

   
Server-747

Agent Alert Only Mode

On the ACTIONS dropdown for the endpoints page, the options for ENABLE ALERT ONLY mode and DISABLE ALERT ONLY  mode are now available. These buttons only work with Agent version 3.5.10 and newer.

When activating Alert Only mode, the user must select a timeout. The default is 24 hours from the current time. Upon reaching the timeout, the agent will automatically revert to its normal mode of operation.

   
 SERVER- 752

The Deploy table now uses the tenantId column.

  • A tenantID column has been added to the Deploy table.
  • The install-zerolock process uses the tenantId of the 'deploy token' to find the correct agent.

Collector Installation Asset Mirroring 

This enhancement ensures that the Collector only caches the MOST RECENTLY INSTALLED agent version. This action reduces the possibility of slow startup due to loading the entire installations table.

On startup, there should be no cached installer. When an agent installation occurs, the selected version should be cached in memory.
If a new installation request occurs and the version matches the cached version, then the cached version should be used rather than querying the database. Otherwise, query the database to get the requested version, and replace the cached version with the requested one.
