Collector Versions

Last updated on 13 March, 2024

You can use the Collector Update Scheduler to perform a one-time update to your LogicMonitor Collectors or to automate receipt of the most recent Collector updates at desired times.

Collector Release Tracks

Collector releases are categorized into three release tracks:

  • Early Access (EA) – EA releases are often the first to debut new functionality. We sometimes release a major feature in batches through EA release. So, EA is not recommended for your entire infrastructure. They occur 9-10 times per year. If there are major bug fixes, we patch EA, and it is referred as EA patch release. A stable EA version is designated as an optional general release (GD).
  • Optional General Releases (GD) – GD releases are stable collector updates that may have new features. However, it is not mandatory to update collectors with GD releases. They occur twice a year. If there are major bug fixes, we patch GD, and it is referred as GD patch release. A stable GD version is designated as Required General Release (MGD).
  • Required General Releases (MGD) – An MGD is released once a year. When we designate a GD as an MGD, we schedule and announce a date to auto-upgrade collectors to the MGD version. To let customers upgrade collectors as per their convenience, we send communication at least 30 days before the scheduled auto-upgrade date. On the auto-upgrade date, we upgrade only those collectors which are still below the MGD version. Thus, going forward, the MGD becomes the minimum required version. If there are major bug fixes, we patch MGD, and it is referred as MGD patch release.

Release Version Conventions

You can differentiate between an EA collector and a GD collector by observing the release version number.

  • All EA versions start with NN.100, where NN is the major version number. In subsequent releases, we increment the decimal. For example, EA 32.100, EA 32.200, and so on. In case of a patch to an EA, for example, patch to EA 33.100 is versioned as EA 33.101
  • All GD versions start with NN.000 where NN is the major version number. A GD release is followed by EA releases (usually 4-5 EA releases). So, in the subsequent releases, we increment the decimal. For example, after GD 32.000 is released, we will release EA 32.100, EA 32.200, EA 32.300, and so on. In case of a patch to a GD, the decimal number will always be below “.100”. For example, patch to GD 32.000 is versioned as GD 32.001
  • All MGD versions take the version number of the GD it is based on. For example, MGD 31.004 is based on the previously released GD 31.004

To understand collector releases and their versions, refer to the following example. Note that the version numbers are used for representation only.

28.603Early AccessSeptember 5, 2019Improvements:
 

  • Updated the Corretto JRE to 11.0.4
28.602Early AccessAugust 8, 2019Fixes:
 

  • Fixed a bug that would cause JDBC Active Discovery to ignore the “Port # List” field.
28.601Early AccessJuly 24, 2019Fixes:
 

  • Fixed issue with watchdog that would prevent the collector configuration from being edited in the UI
  • NOTE: If you’re upgrading from 28.600, the watchdog issue above will prevent a normal upgrade. There are two options to workaround the watchdog bug to update to 28.601:
    • Uninstall the collector from its host, download collector 28.601 from the portal (you don’t need to delete or recreate the collector object in LogicMonitor) and install it on the host.
    • Open the collector debug window and run the !restart command to restart the collector. This will temporarily fix the environment (until the next automated collector credential rotation) and allow you to upgrade via the portal.
      • Restarting the collector via the drop-down UI menu won’t work for the workaround, it must be the debug command
28.600Early AccessJuly 5, 2019Fixes:
 

  • Fixed issue with Collector signing that could:
    • Cause false positives from anti-virus software
    • Block collection and reporting tasks
28.501Early AccessJune 21, 2019Fixes:
 

  • Fixed issue with Collector signing that could:
    • Cause false positives from anti-virus software
    • Block collection and reporting tasks
28.500Early AccessJune 14, 2019Improvements:

  • Added support for Test EventSource (SNMP trap, syslog, logfile) functionality
  • Collector now runs on Amazon’s Corretto JDK 11
    • Notes:
      • With this change, we’ve dropped support for 32-bit operating systems
      • At least initially, this will incur a roughly 10% increase in CPU and memory usage. We’re working to reduce this in future versions.
  • !logsurf debug command now provides additional log context from sbproxy.log (for WMI, Perfmon, and Ping tasks)
  • Improved PropertySource scheduling to avoid CPU spikes
  • The installer on Windows now confirms a successful install to avoid silent failure
  • Improved NetFlow performance by removing extraneous logging
  • Upgraded AWS SDK from 1.11.431 to 1.11.548

  • Test Active Discovery for SNMP now returns diagnosis commands for both getNext and getBulk
  • Improve JMX data collection logic to avoid potential data gaps when invalid connections were errantly cached
  • Improved the uninstaller to completely remove the Collector in some scenarios where it was only partially uninstalled

Fixes:

  • Fixed potential memory leak with the ESX collector
  • Fixed an issue where the Windows Collector device name was shown incorrectly as “Unknown”
  • Fixed issue where syslog collector used excessive memory
  • Fixed the error that created a useless folder in the install directory
28.200Early AccessApril 10, 2019Improvements:
 

  • Reduced memory usage for PropertySources

  • Improved instance names on SSE Datasources
  • Improved NetFlow diagnosis messaging
  • Improved Windows EventLog query time range processing to avoid fails queries
  • Changed pdh.auto.switch.to.native.enable to default to true. Also fixed an issue where Perfmon collection would fail when pdh.datacache.enableand pdh.auto.switch.to.native.enable were both set to true
  • JMX collection now supports the special character “:” in MBeans

Fixes:
  • Fixed batchscript collection caching behavior that would cause some instances with duplicate wildvalues to report No Data
  • Fixed password exposure issue with Poll Now Diagnosis for WMI
  • Fixed issue where NetFlow would record corrupt data instead of discarding it

28.100Early AccessMarch 20, 2019

Improvements:

  • The collector can now run without administrative or root privileges on both Windows and Linux.
    • Administrator/root privileges are still needed for the initial installation.
  • Syslog performance has been improved.
  • Modifications to the JRE keystore are now kept during collector upgrade.

Fixes:

  • Fixed InstallShield Wizard progress bar which didn’t fill, causing unnecessary uncertainty about the process.
  • NetScan will not use ARP to scan hosts outside of the same subnet. This lead to incorrect device types being reported.
  • Fixed a possible memory leak when using SNMPv3.
  • Fixed issue where Ping task would non report data if it timed out.
  • Fixed issue where JDBC AD and Collection would fail if the domain name contains “-“.

For more detailed information on what’s included, see individual EA release notes (links above).

27.900Early AccessFebruary 21, 2019
  • Improve Windows Event Log performance in some scenarios
  • Improve AD task duplication logic. Previously, this could result in delayed AD results, which would make AD appear to be broken.
  • Improved AD memory usage
  • Reduced CPU usage for SNMP v3 collection
  • Added hostactive column to !tlist output. When “true”, successful tasks will contribute to the “heartbeat” (see HostStatus DataSource) that signals that the device is alive (or dead in its absence). When “false”, it means the tasks success has no impact on the heartbeat or the collector’s up/down status.
  • Avoid false host down alerts when sbproxy is unexpectedly down.
27.850Early AccessJanuary 23, 2019
  • Improve Windows Event Log performance in some scenarios
  • Improve AD task duplication logic. Previously, this could result in delayed AD results, which would make AD appear to be broken.
  • Improved AD memory usage
  • Reduced CPU usage for SNMP v3 collection
  • Added hostactive column to !tlist output. When “true”, successful tasks will contribute to the “heartbeat” (see HostStatus DataSource) that signals that the device is alive (or dead in its absence). When “false”, it means the tasks success has no impact on the heartbeat or the collector’s up/down status.
  • Avoid false host down alerts when sbproxy is unexpectedly down.
27.800Early AccessJanuary 3, 2019
  • Improved SNMP Poll Now diagnosis messages.
  • Improved Poll Now error messages when running external/uploaded scripts.
  • During upgrade, collector will report any processes it can’t kill that it must kill to upgrade.
  • Installer will warn if collector user lacks required permissions.
  • Various improvements to collector logging.
  • Better -help output for !tlist debug command.
  • Handle SNMP agents that return “noSuchName” in the “error-status” field.
  • Default configuration changes to watchdog.conf:
    • wrapper.logfile.compress.maxfiles changed from 10 to 5
    • wrapper.logfile.maxfiles changed from 3 to 2
  • Default configuration changes to wrapper.conf:
    • wrapper.logfile.compress.maxfiles changed from 10 to 20
    • wrapper.logfile.maxfiles changed from 3 to 2
  • The following configuration directives have been renamed:
    • discover.global.timeoutInSec -> discover.default.timeoutInSec (default 3600)
    • discover.perfmon.timeout -> discover.perfmon.timeoutInSec (default 120)
    • discover.wmi.timeout -> discover.wmi.timeoutInSec (default 120)
  • Added AD script timeout configuration directive discover.script.timeoutInSec with a default value of 300 seconds.
  • Fixed issue where sbwinproxy would use more memory than necessary when communication to the agent was interrupted.
  • Fixed an issue where a PowerShell script would report “The screen cannot be set to the number of lines and columns specified.” when run from Poll Now or the debug window. This happened because the collector tried to set the screen column count to the default value despite it already being set to the default value.
  • Fixed a bug where WMI queries would fail due to an improperly handled error code that requires re-authentication.
  • Fixed issue where ping collection would fail with some firewalls due to sequence ID reuse.
27.751Early AccessDecember 25, 2018
  • Fixed a bug that would cause some collectors to use excessive memory and CPU for garbage collection when monitoring single devices with more than 10,000 instances that are frequently changing.
27.005Required General ReleasesDecember 5, 2018
  • Since 25.200, nonexistent OIDs in AD filters would cause an instance to be filtered out of AD unless the filter was using the NotExist operation. This would lead to unexpected behavior when using other operations like NotEqual, NotContains, and RegexNotMatch. Nonexistent OID responses will now be treated as empty strings (“”) when evaluating with those operations.
  • Token replacement for PropertySources now works in Groovy and PowerShell. We recommend using hostProps.get(), instanceProps.get(), or taskProps.get() in Groovy scripts for better performance than token replacement.
  • Collector will no longer fail to start if DNS resolution from the cache file fails.
  • Fixed issue where sbwinproxy would use more memory than necessary when communication to the agent was interrupted.
27.750Early AccessNovember 22, 2018
  • HTTP collector AD will not append default ports (80, 443) to the “Host” header. Most browsers, and the !http debug command did not append the port to the “Host” header, leading to discrepancies in cases where the remote server could not handle the appended port in the “Host” header.
  • Syslog collection now supports timestamps with microseconds.
  • The collector will delete the locally stored NetFlow database if the file exceeds netflow.datadir.maxSizeInMB directive in agent.conf when NetFlow initializes. This will prevent NetFlow from using excessive collector disk space.
  • When Poll Now fails for Ping, SNMP, or WMI collection, the collector will try to diagnose the problem and include suggestions (as well as the command used to diagnose) in the result.
    • Ping diagnosis calls your collector OS ping binary.
    • SNMP diagnosis uses binaries included with the collector.
    • WMI diagnosis uses PowerShell’s Get-WMIObject Cmdlet.
  • Fixed handling of gzip encoding with the webpage collector.
  • Patched CVE-2016-5725 on JSch 0.1.53.
27.700Early AccessNovember 2, 2018

  • Added an option to execute parallel perfmon metric collection for situations where some parent metrics might be invalid.
  • Added additional status monitoring of the Collector Reporter to identify situations where the Collector may be reporting data, but no gathering fully.
  • Fixed a bug where the Collector was being repeatedly restarted by improving the logic that Watchdog uses to restart the collector agent.
  • Fixed a bug in SNMP collection when gathering metrics individually which resulted in “ConcurrentModificationException” errors.
  • Fixed a bug where certain Groovy Scripts would not work and display this error “Cannot schedule task for execution” after disabling the Standalone Scripting Engine.
  • Fixed a bug where “reporter.persistent.queue.consume.rate” config setting was not being used.
  • Fixed a bug where very large host entries would cause an OutOfMemory exception. The script will be scheduled for later execution or SSE will be disabled until next restart when the process does not register within a configured initiation time.
  • Fixed a resource leak in Standalone Scripting Engine and added increased protection for OutOfMemory exceptions and SSE spawning too many processes.
  • Increased security to prevent DLL hijacking in sbwinproxy.
27.400Early AccessAugust 17, 2018
