Version 5.2.1

New features

• Elasticsearch: uberAgent now supports Elasticsearch 7

Improvements

• Browsers/IE add-on [I9]: the add-on now works in Internet Explorer’s Enhanced Protected Mode, too
• GPU metrics [I12]: per-machine and per-process GPU compute usage now switches to an alternative algorithm if the original algorithm fails (observed with Nvidia Grid). This requires Windows 10 1709 or later.
• GPU metrics: uberAgent now determines per process which GPU engine is used most heavily (requires Windows 10 1709)
• Service: reduced verbosity of service interrogation debug messages

Bugfixes

• Citrix ADC [I8]: fixed error in Citrix ADC service group determination
• Citrix ADC [I7]: fixed error in Citrix ADC gateway determination
• Service [I6]: field names of KV sourcetypes are now normalized so that illegal characters are removed. This affects sourcetypes with dynamic field names, specifically uberAgent:System:PerformanceCounter. Allowed characters: [a-zA-Z0-9_]
• Process startup [I14]: duplicate process GUIDs in the field ProcGUID if processes were started very quickly
• Process startup [I15]: process starts missing in sourcetype uberAgent:Process:ProcessStartup if processes were started very quickly
• Apache Kafka [I20]: fixed wrong timestamp format

Known issues

• GPU: values for the fields ComputeUsagePercentAllEngines, ComputeUsagePercentEngine0 and so on, can be higher than 100 when using an Intel Iris GPU in combination with Windows Server 2016 1607
• Citrix ADC: in very rare cases the content of the Virtual Server Performance field vServerName contains spaces in wrong places
• Citrix XA/XD Machines: when running the Citrix VDA on a Citrix Delivery Controller, some per-machine information is missing
• Browsers/IE add-on: metrics are not collected on page reload
• Browsers/IE add-on: metrics are collected incompletely for the configured start page
• IE browser performance monitoring does not work if IE is running as a Citrix XenApp published application. It does work from published desktops, however.
• Boot duration: the metrics TotalBootTimeMs, MainPathBootTimeMs and PostBootTimeMs cannot be determined for every system boot
• Browser web app performance: websites may modify the JavaScript performance variable. When that happens, uberAgent cannot determine the page load duration.
• Update inventory: not all installed Windows updates may be reported due to API limitations

Release notes

• Process GUIDs: changed the process GUID algorithm to drastically reduce the likelihood of collisions. ProcGUID field values generated with this version are different from the values generated by previous versions.
• Splunk: removed the obsolete files eventtypes.conf and tags.conf from the dashboard app.
• Sourcetype uberAgent:Process:ProcessDetail has new fields: ProcGpuEngineMostUsed and ProcGpuEngineMostUsedDisplayName
