We’re pleased to confirm the latest SolarWinds RMM release is now available in all territories. This includes an update to the GA and RC Agents for Windows, with the release of Agent 10.6.1 to GA and 10.7.1 to RC.
Please upgrade to the new GA Agent at your early convenience to take advantage of the latest set of feature improvements and bug fixes.
We also encourage you to take a look at the brand new Backup & Recovery “Documents” option, currently in RC mode. This innovation in backup for workstations offers single click deployment, automatic detection of all important user files (Word, Excel, CSV files, PDFs, PowerPoints and more), fully automated backup with 56 restore points, and self-service restore for users. In the event of a ransomware attack, a lost or stolen laptop or other emergency, your customers documents are safe and can be restored in moments.
Try “Documents” while it’s in RC mode: To take advantage, update any workstation to the latest RC Agent v10.7.1, then go to Edit Workstation > Backup & Recovery, and select Documents. For more information, including screenshots, see last week’s release notes.
Here are the release notes for this week’s update…

Windows Monitoring Agent 10.6.0 and up introduces a change to the definition comparison process for the Antivirus Update Check.
From this release, the Agent queries a CloudFront address over a secure connection to retrieve the information required to determine whether the installed Antivirus product’s definitions are within the threshold or out-of-date.
To ensure the Agent can retrieve this information from CloudFront, we suggest that you whitelist the address below in your firewall or web-filtering software.

Please note that Amazon’s CloudFront Global Edge Network was utilized for this service, as it provides a consistent, high availability platform accessible from multiple geographically located download addresses. This CloudFront address is strictly used to query and retrieve the Antivirus Update information, it is not used in any other capacity
