Build Description Date
22.0.0.672 Fixed 2 agent based event log consolidation and backup bugs. 2023-03-30
  • Previously when using the agent to backup EVTX files and consolidate Event Log entries to a central database, if logs were assigned to the template that did not reside on the managed system, the function would exit without sending the error back to the service. Both functions have been updated to continue if and when the ignore log not found error option is selected, the error ignored.
22.0.0.670 Fixed a licensing bug. 2023-03-02
  • A recent update to the licensing server caused errant registration requests to throw a generic error without any detail. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.669 Fixed several bugs. 2023-02-12
  • Previously when importing 2018 reports, if a report threw an unexpected error the import halted. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when manually deleting a consolidated text log the state may was not cleared if a logical name was not set causing the next download to continue where it left off. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when searching for dates, times, event IDs or other numerical based column values using the Find Toolbar, the search function did not process the numerical columns. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when assigning user filters to templates or reports, the drop-down errored when sorting was required leaving the drop-down blank. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when selecting files in the System32 directory the file selection tree view was slow to draw. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when a text log consolidation monitor failed to save data, for example if there is a \0 character in a text log, the database transaction was not rolled back. When using SQLite this would cause the database to throw a database locked event. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.662 Fixed several bugs and added preparations for version 2023. 2023-01-25
  • In preparation for Server Manager 2023, this build introduces a version number into the configuration files that forces each configuration file to be re-serialized to the latest version enabling version 2023 to exclude the serialization code for earlier object versions. Either this build or later must installed prior to installing Server Manager 2023.
  • Previously when creating a new Event Log File Backup Template the default output directory was not set. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when receiving SNMP Traps that did not include any variables, an entry was not written to the database. Empty SNMP Traps are now saved to the log database.
  • The Success Logon and Failed Logon reports were incorrectly showing the count of similar logons when using both the summary and detail views. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.660 Fixed Sqlite database locked error. 2023-01-19
  • Previously the Sqlite database would often throw database locked errors. This error occurred because the semaphore blocking multi-threaded access was limited to each connection instance rather than static in the program. This bug has been fixed.
  • A recent build busted the Log Database Flag functionality. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.659 Fixed several bugs. 2023-01-17
  • Previously the Service Monitor Template was not triggering an alert when the template was configured to start the service and set the monitor state to warning when the service was stopped. This bug has been fixed.
  • Fixed a bug in the audit table query for SQL Server.
  • A recent changed busted the File Permissions Report. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when receiving RFC 5624 compliant syslog messages the parsed host name was not being displayed in the consolidated log viewer. This bug has been fixed.

  • The Website Monitor has been updated to internally support TLS 1.2.
  • After adding the Templates and Reports node under each host the File Explorer context menu item no longer displayed. This bug has been fixed.
  • The generic filters, such as the Process Monitor Filter, did not properly update when changing an attribute type. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.656 Fixed several new bugs. 2023-01-10
  • A recent update caused the real-time directory monitor watcher to throw an error when sending an alert. This but has been fixed.
  • A recent update caused the emailed CPU and Memory Monitor history charts to display incorrectly. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.654 Added two new report types. 2022-12-21
  • Two new report types have been added. A SIEM Chart report which takes multiple logs of different types as an input then outputs, groups a specific parameter then outputs either a donut chart or a line chart showing the count at an instant or over time. The second report type is a Collection Report which enables users to send either a single email or generate a single output file (txt, csv, html or pdf) that contains all of the assigned reports. Click Create Default Objects to generate various sample reports such as success logons over time grouped by user.
22.0.0.653 Fixed several bugs. 2022-12-14
  • Previously when saving Security Event Logs with the Agent, batch downloads enabled and the batch size was smaller than the connection frequency, the standard information content found at the bottom of many event log entries, such as 4624, was not parsed out of the saved message. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously Template Summary Reports did not display the SNMP Trap log name in the table. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously SIEM Reports requires users to create their own Text Log Filters for any log entry type assigned to the report. The report now uses the native filters. When the filter option is set to check all filters, only filters for the corresponding types are applied to the rule, other filters are ignored.
22.0.0.649 Added Red Hat Audit Log Consolidation support and directory wildcards to all file and directory monitor templates. 2022-12-12
  • A new Action Type has been added that enables users to execute another Template.
  • A new sample Red Hat Audit Log Consolidation template has been added that references two new Red Hat Templates that first copies the Red Hat Audit.log file to the `tmp` directory then, once log consolidation is complete, deletes the audit log from the `tmp` directory. The template assumes the user is logging into the Red Hat server using an SSH key.
  • A new SSH Shell document view has been added which is accessible from the host context menu.
  • All file and directory monitor templates have been updated to support sub-directory wildcards. For example users can now dynamically monitor directories such as c:\Users\*\documents.

  • Previously some Azure Audit Log entries were truncated when saving to SQL Server. This bug has been fixed. To resolve the bug, delete all consolidated Azure Audit Logs and re-download.
22.0.0.643 Added global remote WMI retry. 2022-12-06
  • Previously only the Event Log Consolidation and Windows Service monitors retried when receiving a recoverable RPC error. The base class that runs all scheduled monitors has been updated to retry when receiving a potentially recoverable RPC error
22.0.0.641 Added Linux resource monitoring support. 2022-12-04
  • The SSH Shell Template has been updated and renamed to SSH Monitor Template. The updates enable users to parse tabular results or apply regular expressions to extract values. Once parsed user defined trigger criteria is applied and triggered results are fired.
  • Previously the SSH configuration required a password when using a private key file. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.638 Fixed a port scan bug. 2022-11-30

  • Previously reports that took a very long time often timed-out in the viewer. Each 1000 read entries now results in a verbose message being sent back to the viewer which resolves the timeout error in most cases.
  • Previously agent-less hosts were continually inventoried rather than just once a day. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.513 Fixed critical bug. 2022-07-26
  • The previous build added a fix for reading text log files from localhosts but the fix busted remote monitoring. This bug has been fixed.

  • The CPU Monitor Status View now includes a Properties Tab that lists various CPU properties.
  • Previously, when the service’s management server was bound to 0.0.0.0 rather than a specific IP, the agent installer applied the local NetBIOS name to the agent configuration file which may not actually be routable. Now, the FQDN is applied when applicable otherwise the DNS name is applied.
  • The newly added log monitor rule data table control was not displaying the less than / greater than drop-down for frequency rules. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously the AD user and group filter controls allowed users to add blank and white space items. This behavior is no longer allowed.

  • Previously when monitoring resources consumed by Services and/or Processes, when the CPU Utilization property was assigned, the value was calculated twice. The second calculation was used for the trigger threshold while the first value was returned in the triggered notification. This value could be significantly different causing much confusion in the notification. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously the number of cores displayed in the Host Inventory only returned the information for the first logical processor. The number of cores is now inclusive of all logical processors.

22.0.0.473 Fixed several UI bugs. 2022-07-01
  • Previously when importing backed up Server Manager 2018 configurations, schedules were erroneously re-created with new names that appended (2) after the name. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously newly assigned templates configured to apply trigger rates were not displaying in the summary reports. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously the Report nodes found under the root Hosts node were showing all assigned hosts when expanded. The Report nodes under Hosts no longer display the assignments.
  • Previously the Host and Template Summary Views were displaying templates configured to apply trigger rates and templates that supported an array of results showed a state of initialized. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.472 Critical bug fix. 2022-07-01
  • The last build broke alerting email content. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.471 Fixed a filter bug. 2022-06-30
  • Previously when applying simple filters with exclude criteria such as a list of comma-separated hosts, the filter did into initialize the internal regular expressions causing the filter to incorrectly return all entries. This bug has been fixed.

  • Previously range schedules used in templates such as daily Event Log Backups that applied exclusion periods, for example, 12:00 AM – 8:00 AM, were triggering all hosts to run at 8:00 AM rather than staggering them between 8:00 and 12:00 PM. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.464 Fixed several bugs. 2022-06-23
  • Previously when attempting to configure the Corner Bowl Server Manager service to run using TLS 1.2 certificate searches were limited to the distinguished subject name. The search has been updated to search in the following order: Thumbprint, serial number, distinguished subject name and finally the name.
  • Previously when configuring the SMTP email settings, the configuration view required the username field to be in an email format. This limitation has been removed. The configuration view has also been updated to display all packets to better aid users when debugging connectivity.

  • Previously the open source component Server Manager was using to receive traps did not properly implement AES. The open source component has been locally branched and modified to be FIPS compliant.
  • Previously the Security Group Management Report used an older API to retrieve the SID accounts which did not always receive results. The API has been replaced with WMI calls to each server which now produces the expected results even when the software is running off domain.
  • Previously when viewing the Error Report, the Management Console would randomly crash due to a threading bug. This bug has been fixed.
  • Fixed minor bugs in the CPU, memory and directory size monitor templates.

  • The Simple Filters have been updated to support host and log criteria.
  • Previously when assigning filters and actions to a log monitor template, the actions selection control was always showing a validation error. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when modifying an Azure AD Audit Log Report to exclude a column, the report failed to properly generate the contents. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when initially applying a filter to a log viewer and viewing pages by entries per page, the filter only returned results for the first page that contained filtered entries. An Auto-Advance option has been added to the initial filter selection dialog that when selected automatically advances to the next page until the number of returned entries matches the page size.
  • When using the Corner Bowl File System format to save log entries, the Syslog, Text Log and SNMP Trap log viewers returned incorrect page detail when viewing the last page.

  • The SNMP v3 host properties view has been updated to mask the privacy and authentication pass phrases.
  • Added SHA-1, SHA-384, SHA-512, AES-128 and AES-192 to SNMP Gets Monitor Templates and the SNMP Trap Server. The SNMP Get function previously was not applying AES settings. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously the Directory Size Monitor Template did not display the data grid graphs when no triggers were set. The monitor has been updated to set the threshold value even if the trigger is disabled enabling the graphs to draw a percentage based on the threshold value.
  • Previously the directory and file monitor templates always included directories not found in the status even when the ignore directory not found option was enabled. Directories not found are now removed from the results when ignore option is enabled.
22.0.0.447 Fixed several bugs. 2022-06-08
  • Previously SNMP v3 Traps could not be received. New User Registry options have been added to the SNMP Trap Server Properties view that enable users to define different users for v3.
  • Previously the Duplicate Files Report did not properly handle paths longer than 260 characters. Since these paths are illegal, unless otherwise re-defined in the registry, the report now skips over these sub-directories without error.
  • Previously agent-based templates that were configured to trigger idle actions would continue to trigger idle actions after the templates were disabled. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.444 Fixed an SNMP Get bug. 2022-06-06
  • Previously when testing SNMP Gets using V3 an error was thrown. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.443 Added Agent support for Windows Service, Process and Registry Templates. 2022-06-05

22.0.0.428 Added a new template and fixed a host summary bug. 2022-05-23
  • Previously the Host Summary was not updated. This bug has been fixed.
  • Server Manager 2018 monitored disk space using Windows Shares. When converting these templates to Server Manager 2022 the new template uses the WMI based disk monitor which does not allow for monitoring NAS shares. A new template called Disk Space Monitor (Windows Shares) has been added to the software.
22.0.0.427 Fixed several minor bugs. 2022-05-20
  • Previously the Agent-Based Event Log Consolidation and Backup were writing all previous log results to the history each time one log was completed. This bug has been fixed.

22.0.0.424 Updated the Log Viewers and In-Application Help 2022-05-18
  • Previously when opening a log viewer and applying a filter, if no entries matched the filter on the first page, the software automatically advanced to the next page in an effort to show entries that match the filter criteria. When verifying the non-existence of entries for a specific date, this caused the software to runaway and scan the entire log entry table until entries were found. The software now asks the user to auto advance if no entries are found.
  • The following Help Topics were added: Text Log Consolidation, SNMP Trap Consolidation and Syslog consolidation.
22.0.0.422 Fixed several bugs 2022-05-16
  • Previously the Logon Sessions Report did not allow users to set the sort by and group by columns. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when changing the column order on a Failed Logon Report, several columns did not display the values. Then when attempting to manually save to a file, the rows were not written to the output. These bugs have been fixed.
  • Previously when running a weekly range-based schedule with exclusion rules the execution was dropped. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when running seconds-based schedules the auto clear function was missed. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when viewing the history of a monitor or report and filtering out errors, the errors still displayed when received in real-time. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.421 Fix a critical inventory bug. 2022-05-11
  • Previously when monitoring via the agent, the inventory was only saved once then future inventories were ignored. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.420 Added SSH Shell support. 2022-05-08
  • A new template called SSH Shell has been added to enable users to run SSH shell scripts. For more information search the in-application help file for SSH. The SSH Monitor Status view includes an interactive SSH Shell enabling users to proxy SSH commands through the Management Console.
22.0.0.418 Added and updated several help topics. 2022-05-05
  • The SSL Certificate Monitor Templates, Email Monitor Templates and SNMP Monitor Templates have all been documented in the in-application help file.

  • SQLite support has been added to the Data Providers.
  • Previously the MSI installer flagged the SNMP agent dll as in use, when in fact it was not. Moving the SNMP start service to the end of the installation resolved the false positive.
  • Previously when calculating the size of all directories on the Windows OS logical disk, reparse points such as Documents and Settings caused the application to recursively scan the same directory. This bug has been fixed.
  • Several performance enhancements have been added to various log viewers.
22.0.0.402 Added temporary path configuration parameter. 2022-04-29
  • Previously temporary files were always generated in the default location. When using the file system to save log entries rather than a database, large temporary files are generated potentially running the operating system logical disk out of space. The Miscellaneous Options now includes an option to specify an alternate temporary path to use.
22.0.0.400 Added several updates to the Event Log Backup and Event Log Consolidation Templates and fixed TLS 1.2 bug. 2022-04-27
  • Previously when compressing then backing up native Event Log Files to a UNC path, the file was first backed-up to the UNC path then compressed before finally be deleted. The behavior has changes so the file is backed up to a local temporary directory then compressed before finally being saved to the UNC path.
  • Several checks have been added to the Event Log Consolidation Template so upon receiving an unexpected WMI error the WMI connection is re-constructed then an attempt is made to download again.
  • Previously the Server Manager Server and Client were not explicitly configured to limit connections to TLS 1.2 which caused TLS connections to fail on machines with TLS 1.0 and 1.2 disabled. These bugs have been fixed.
22.0.0.397 Added a new Text Email Action. 2022-04-18
  • A new Text Email Action is now included in the default action objects. The email action includes the {DATA_ROWS} variable in the body which prints out log entries to a narrow attribute value table rather than a wide data table.
22.0.0.396 Added 7-Zip and WinRar Zip support. 2022-04-17
  • Previously when password protecting EVTX and text logs when backing up and when consolidated files, the password protection was not using standard Zip algorithms but rather a proprietary wrapper around the file. If users select to compress and password protect, the new Zip algorithms are used, otherwise if only encrypting without compress the previous proprietary wrapper is used. This update requires agent-based hosts update to the latest version of the agent.
  • Several file/folder open controls were displaying the Windows file/folder open dialogs rather than using the internal file/folder open dialogs which access the file system from the point of view of the service. These bugs have been fixed.
  • A new menu item as has been added the Report Groups enabling users to execute all assigned reports at once.
22.0.0.394 Enhanced Success and Failed Logon Reports. 2022-04-14
  • The Success and Failed Logon Reports have been updated to enable users to change the column order.

  • All of the Security Event Log and Directory and File reports have been updated to support multiple group by and sort by column rules.
  • Previously the Executable Status Views allowed users to close the History and Verbose Output tool windows when they should not have allowed the functionality. If closed the tool windows could not be re-opened. The state file name has been renamed and the option to close disabled.
22.0.0.391 Updated Success and Failed Logon Reports 2022-04-11
  • The Success and Failed Logon Reports have been updated to include column presence, column sort order and column group by rules for each of the optional 5 tables found in both reports.
22.0.0.389 Updated the Agent and Summary Views 2022-04-10
  • Previously the agent requested the next time to check for updates after completing the execution of all agent-based templates. If there was a version update within any of the templates that were received, the agent closed the connection without getting the next update time. The agent now requests the next time to check for updates before requesting the next templates to execute.
  • The Errors, Template Summary and Host Summary views, not be confused with Summary Report Views, have been updated to better display trigger messages.
  • When saving tables to file from the various viewers, the save function now honors multiple group by and sort rules.
22.0.0.386 Updated the HTML Output Template and fixed several UI bugs. 2022-04-08
  • The HTML output now disables wrapping in all columns except when messages are displayed in multi-line table rows. The integer formatting has all been removed so Event IDs no longer have commas in them.
  • Previously the Certificate detail page was not highlighting the message preview and the selected color was using the Windows selected color rather than the selected color in the software.
  • Previously when consolidating text log files, the log repository tree was adding a new node for the same log every minute. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously the Preview Message setting was saved once for every log type. The setting is now saved once for each log type enabling users to hide message preview when viewing text logs and show message preview when viewing Event Logs.
  • The System Requirements have been updated to include support for SQL Server 2022 and SQL Server DBaas.
22.0.0.381 Added Flag enhancements and fixed several bugs. 2022-04-07

  • Several minor report display bugs have been resolved.
22.0.0.379 Fixed several front-end and back-end bugs. 2022-04-06
  • Previously the customer time range and last x hours controls available with in the log report properties views did not display. These bugs have been fixed.
  • Previously the Account Management Report did not include the event log entry description in the list of columns. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when exporting event log reports to HTML, the level column wrapped. The nowrap flag has been added to the HTML.
  • Previously new reports were grouping by the level image when viewed in the Management Console. This bug has been fixed. The fix may cause previously selected sort and group selections to be ignored. Simply reset the values via the report properties views if cleared.
22.0.0.377 Updated the server configuration file. 2022-04-05
  • Previously when using TLS 1.2 to encrypt the client/server connection each time a new update was installed the configuration file was overwritten causing the server to lose its binding, port and TLS configuration. The configuration file has been moved and the format changed to JSON. Please find the file in C:\Program Files\Corner Bowl\Server Manager 2022\tcpserver.json. The help file has been updated to include these updates.
  • Previously the Dashboard constantly logged each time the CPU and memory were queried. The log messages have been removed.
22.0.0.374 Added new Agent Server, Syslog Server and SNMP Trap Server Options 2022-04-05

  • Summary: Real-time Security Event Log Monitors no longer receive formatted messages from the Windows Operating System. Effects: Real-time Security Event Log Monitors are not able to filter entries causing all real-time alerts to fail to trigger. Possible Culprits: We have verified this bug on Windows Server 2016 after Security Update KB5009546 was installed. Workaround: Real-Time Security Event Log Monitors: Re-configure all Real-Time Event Log Monitors to poll for entries. To do this modify all Real-Time Security Event Log Monitor Templates to use a fixed polling schedule such as every 15 seconds or once a minute. Logon Monitors: The Logon Monitor Template has been updated to support polling entries. Please note, Logon Monitor triggers will still execute once for each login entry that passes your filter criteria. Polling Logon Monitor trigger state is set to either OK or Error. At this time Polling Logon Monitor trigger state is overwritten by the last download status, for example, 10 entries downloaded. This update requires you to install the latest version of Corner Bowl Server Manager 2022. Discovered: While testing success and failed login attempts, the last real-time Security Event Log alert we received was on January 19th.

22.0.0.122 Fixed evaluation bug 2021-12-14
  • Previously when evaluating Server Manager 2022 only Event Log Manager Templates were enabled. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.121 Added several enhancments and bug fixes. 2021-12-13
  • The Event Log Backup and Text Log Backup Properties views within the Management Console have been updated to use a new File/Folder selection dialog that accesses the file system from the server the service is running rather than using the Windows File/Folder Open and Save dialogs which access the file system from the Management Console which may or may not be on the same system as the service.
  • The File System Data Properties views now includes the name of the file the data has been saved too.
  • Previously when evaluating the software from a remote installation of the Management Console an error message was displayed at startup stating the evaluation html template could not be found and the Evaluation screen was empty. This bug has been fixed.
  • Several noisy service log messages have been removed.
22.0.0.118 Enhanced the Agent and the Management Console and fixed several bugs. 2021-12-12
  • The Agent now compresses Event Log Entries to a zip file then uploads the file. This new format resolves timeout issues that previously occurred when uploading large Security Event Logs while at the same time compressing the data significantly reducing the data pushed on the wire.
  • Several views within the Management Console have been updated to use a new File/Folder selection dialog that accesses the file system from the server the service is running rather than using the Windows File/Folder Open and Save dialogs which access the file system from the Management Console which may or may not be on the same system as the service. The updated views are: File System Data Provider Properties and Network Speed Monitor Template Properties.
  • Previously the Network Speed Monitor Template was not triggering alerts. This bug has been fixed.
  • A new Syslog Action is now included in the default configuration called Syslog Text Message which uses the {TEXT_MESSAGE} tag to write out the detailed monitor information.
22.0.0.116 Updated disk monitors to use WMI over Windows Shares and made several performance enhancements to the Agent. 2021-12-09
  • Previously when Mitigating NTLM Relay Attacks on Active Directory Certificate Services as documented in Microsoft’s KB5005413 disk monitors no longer worked. The disk monitors previously used Windows Shares and several low level Windows C APIs which do not work when KB5005413 is implemented. The disk monitors have been updated to use WMI.
  • Previously when uploading large Security Event Logs from the Agent, two different errors often occurred: a timeout error and out of memory error. The socket write function did not consider large packets and was wasteful with memory. The function has been updated and now consumes 1/3 the memory. When the packet is large enough to trigger the write timeout, which is set to 2 minutes in the configuration file, the socket is closed. Since the Security Log upload is incomplete the server dumps the data. The timeout has been updated to 5 minutes. If the agent is already installed, you will need to update the write timeout in the cbsmagt.exe.config file located at in the following directory: C:\ProgramData\Corner Bowl\Server Manager Agent 2022
22.0.0.113 Added CSV support and updated text log templates to support column definition. 2021-12-08
  • Users can now monitor and consolidate CSV files. The Management Console includes a function to quickly scan and define each column and data type. Once defined specific columns can be filtered and reports customized to limit content to specific columns.
  • The text log monitors have been updated to support column definition through regular expressions. Once defined specific columns can be filtered and reports customized to limit content to specific columns.
22.0.0.110 Fixed critical Agent-Based Event Log Backup bug. 2021-12-07
  • Previously when the Agent-Based Event Log Backup template was not creating the destination directory if it did not exist. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.109 Added help content for all action and alert types and updated the Microsoft Teams action. 2021-12-05
  • The in application help now includes topics for all action and alert types.
  • The Microsoft Teams action has been updated to support custom user messages.
22.0.0.107 Added Syslog attribute value parsing, updated host settings, added German support and fixed Date/Time formatting bugs. 2021-12-03
  • Users can now define regular expressions to define attribute value pairs which are then saved as custom columns to SQL Server, MySQL and the file system formats. Syslog Reports have been updated to support the new custom column functionality along with a new feature that enables columns to be re-ordered. Complex Syslog Filters have been updated to support the new custom column functionality.
  • Host properties now include exclusion period configuration enabling administrators to schedule hosts for maintenance. When scheduled, assigned templates are not run during the exclusion period.
  • The Locale settings have been updated to list all available locales.
  • The localized Date and Time format functions have been updated to properly display the current locale date and time format and when required, milliseconds inserted at the appropriate position.
  • German localization is not supported.
22.0.0.100 Fixed a disk monitor bug and a Server Manager 2018 report import bug. 2021-11-24
  • Previously disk monitors that were scanning all discovered disk errored when a disk returned is read/write but has a capacity of 0 bytes. Server Manager 2018 ignored this error however Server Manager 2022 was not. The behavior has been updated to match Server Manager 2018.
  • Previously when importing Server Manager 2018 reports, reports that were identical but with different names were not imported. The behavior has been changed to import these reports as well.
22.0.0.98 Fixed a Critical Auto Configurator import bug. 2021-11-23
  • Previously when importing Auto Configurators from Server Manager 2018, when the default Active Directory connection was applied recursively from a child OU, the new Constant Delivery Pipeline implementation was connecting to the root OU causing the entire tree to be scanned. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.97 Updated log monitor alert messages and fixed a service log truncation bug. 2021-11-23
  • Log monitor alerts now display the entire message in the status and tooltip views.
  • Previously the default reports were disabled with a schedule set causing the disabled icons to display. The behavior has changed so now the reports are enabled but no schedule is set. This method allows for the Report icons to appear normal.
  • Previously when opening a text log file from the file menu to view, the viewer automatically scanned the entire file to get the entry count then tailed the file. When opening large log files this caused a delay in the viewer. The viewer options now include a checkbox to automatically tail the file. The default setting is disabled.
  • The service log file was not self-truncating. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.94 Added text email and HTML template override support. 2021-11-21
  • The email actions now support sending text-based messages.
  • The email and file actions now support overriding the default HTML template.
  • Previously when receiving a timeout error when viewing a large consolidated log’s data properties all summary views were cleared and instead displayed the error. The error now only displays in the summary view that timed-out.
22.0.0.93 Fixed several real-time monitor bugs. 2021-11-20
  • Real-Time Microsoft Application log monitors now throw an error stating they can only be monitored using a polling schedule. This change has been made because Microsoft’s API does not support throwing an error when there is a connectivity error to the server leaving the monitor in a disconnected state.
  • Previously the host status included disabled templates. The host status no longer includes disabled
  • Several error rate and schedule bugs have been fixed.
  • The report date ranges have been updated to include a few more ranges including last x hours.
  • The host properties now includes a tab to update the WMI Quota settings.
22.0.0.92 Added several user interface updates. 2021-11-19

22.0.0.83 Fixed an import bug and added several UI enhancements 2021-11-11
  • Previously when importing from Server Manager 2018, if multiple templates had the same property values but were assigned to different template groups and the template groups were assigned to a host group or host, the assigned templates would not be assigned to the host. This bug has been fixed.
  • Grouped items such as hosts, templates and reports are now color coded when assigned to another object type.
  • Previously the SNMP Traps node was not listed under SNMP Trap Consolidation. This bug has been fixed.
  • The Disk Space Monitor History tab has been updated so now there is only one refresh button for all the charts.

  • Several minor validation bugs were fixed.
22.0.0.76 Updated the tooltips for disabled objects. 2021-11-04
  • When an object is disabled the tool tip now includes who disabled the object, when and if auto re-enabled is configured the time the object will be enabled.
22.0.0.75 Fixed a critical agent installer bug. 2021-11-03
  • Previously the service would continually attempt to install the agent on targeted machines even after the agent was updated to the latest version. This caused the MSI installer to run each minute generating a log file in the Windows temporary directory. This bug has been fixed.
22.0.0.74 Fixed several user interface bugs. 2021-11-03
  • Previously when dragging and dropping groups, the drop operation did not always display the group until after the console was restarted. This bug has been fixed.
  • Per user comments, the disabled state was difficult to detect. A red box is now displayed over disabled items matching the Server Manager 2018 style.
  • Added vertical scrollbars to several views.

22.0.0.68 Fixed installer reboot bug in MSI. 2021-10-29
  • The MSI installer often erroneously thinks files are locked when in fact they are not causing the installer to prompt for a reboot. The installer has been updated to suppress the bogus message from MSI.
22.0.0.66 Added several syslog and real-time viewer performance enhancements and fixed several bugs. 2021-10-28
  • When under heavy load, the syslog server now batch inserts syslog messages when saving to SQL Server vastly improving syslog server throughput.
  • Several internal optimizations have been made to the syslog server reducing both CPU and memory load.
  • A new batch size property has been added to the syslog server settings enabling uses to set the size of each batch to process syslog messages.
  • Previously when modifying the syslog server settings, the service would immediately shutdown. This bug has been fixed.
  • Previously when the syslog and real-time Event Log viewers were under heavy load the Management Console was very slow to respond. The viewers have been updated to handle the heavy load.
22.0.0.59 Added new options to standard Event Log, Syslog and Text Log reports. 2021-10-27
  • The standard Event Log, Syslog and Text Log reports now include options to hide, sort and group by specific columns.
