With this release, you can:

• Install Machine Agent using the smartagentctlbinary. See Install Machine Agent Using smartagentctl.
• Install Smart Agent and Machine Agent on remote host. You can also automate the installation on multiple remote Linux hosts by using hosts.yaml file. See Install Smart Agentand Install Machine Agent in Remote Host.
• Upgrade Java Agent or Machine Agent by retaining the modified files in the Smart Agent directory. See Upgrade Agents.
• Manage the Machine Agent processes because Smart Agent now monitors the processes and restarts the processes. See Run Machine Agent as a Process on Remote Host.
• install Smart Agent without using the --enable-auto-attach install parameter because it is no longer required to set the APPD_SMART_AGENT environment variable. This variable is required to associate agents in Controller. See Install Smart Agent.

This release includes the following enhancements when you are using the Controller version 25.4.0 or higher:

• HashiCorp Vault support to provide database credentials and secrets while using Database Monitoring. Also, you can add and update the HashiCorp Vault attributes using the Database Visibility API.
• The Always On monitoring support for Microsoft SQL Server. You can monitor the availability groups in your Microsoft SQL Server clusters to troubleshoot incidents in your production environment.
• Storage utilization monitoring and tracking for the Microsoft SQL Server databases. Drill down from the Databases and the Filegroups tabs to the individual data files on the Data Files tab to identify any unexpected storage spikes.
• While monitoring Amazon RDS, the Access Key and Secret Access Key fields are now optional. You do not need to specify these details if the Database Agent is deployed on an Amazon EC2 instance using the same Amazon Account as RDS and can access CloudWatch.

Upgraded the following third-party components:

• Supports SapMachine JDK 11, 17, and 21. See Java Supported Environments.
• Introduces a new prometheus-metric-report-interval node property to define the Prometheus metric reporting interval.
• Provides agent in RPM package. See Download and Install the Java Agent Distribution.
• Includes bug fixes. See Agent Resolved Issues.

• Bundles the agent with the following JREs:

  • Java 17 (17.0.14) for Linux and Windows

  • Java 11 (11.0.26) for Solaris
• Fixes bugs. See Agent Resolved Issues.
• Note: The HP-UX JRE is not bundled because JRE 11 is unavailable for HP-UX, so you must use your own JAVA 11 (JRE/JDK). If you are using Machine Agent on AIX, switch to the HP-UX agent image. The standalone image MachineAgent.zip uses Java 17. It is incompatible with AIX because AIX supports Java environments only up to Java 11.
