Release 8.5.100

The 8.5.100 Log File Management Tool release significantly improves log file collection by moving to an agent-based transfer. By using an agent to perform the log file transfers, the Log File Management Tool no longer leverages rsync over SSH to transfer files. The transfers are now performed over a TCP/TLS connection to the agent, which prevents the need for public-key authentication between hosts.

In addition to the moving to an agent-based transfer, the following features have been added to the 8.5.1 release:

  • Removed the requirement for Cygwin to be deployed to Windows application hosts
  • Support for user roles to enable/disable LFMT functionality for different user groups
  • Collection from multiple log file locations for a single app
  • Support for circular log file types i.e. (File.log, File.1.log, File.1.log, File.x.log)
  • Internet Explorer/Edge Support
  • Resolved compatibility issues with other GAX plugins
  • Raise alarms for collection failures
  • Overall stability improvements
