A few weeks ago we announced the availability of a new real-time architecture with MAX Remote Management. Today, we’re excited to share that this functionality is now starting to roll out for general release, with Agent v10.0.3 going GA.
The new v10.0.3 GA agent is rolling out in a staged release across the Dashboard territories. The first region to receive the update is Asia Pacific: Customers in this territory will have access to the new GA agent from Saturday, April 9th. The other regions are due to receive the update during the week of April 11th. We’ll post updates on this blog to let you know when the Agent becomes available in each area.
To recap, this first release of the real-time architecture is all about faster actions in the dashboard. Here’s what it means:
- Actions related to Checks and Tasks take place in real-time.
- Deploying user-defined scripts takes just a few minutes instead of waiting two check cycles to see results.
- Checks added or edited will be applied and run immediately, uploading real-time results to the dashboard.
- Running a Task manually in the dashboard happens in real-time.
- 24×7 Check frequency can now be set to 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes for Servers and Workstations.
- New graphical charts within the “More Information” dialogue.
Here are the full release notes…
