Protocols, Smart Polling, and Arc

A list of the improvements for Protocols, Smart Polling and Arc that have been introduced in this release.

  • Improved ABB 800xA Asset identification using the MMS protocol. Introduced a new "SIGN:INFORMATION-GATHERING" alert type, used to cover a use case of a log transfer from ABB 800xA controllers.
  • Introduced XMPP protocol tagging.
  • Introduced CoAP protocol tagging.
  • Improvements to the passive support for MELSEC, SLMP and MELSOFT protocols.
  • Improved parsing robustness of asset information gathered by WinRM Smart Polling strategy.
  • It's now possible to exclude arbitrary nodes from Smart Polling plans.
  • As announced previously, the deprecated value field of the node_points query source is removed, in favor of the content field. Upon upgrade, the data in that column is deleted. A rollback after the installation will not regenerate this data. We recommend that our customers adapt their queries, assertions and reports to use the content field instead of value.
