New Features
Ability to Exclude Network Traffic by Port
We are adding a new installation/configuration parameter that will let you exclude network traffic from the Teramind Network Driver (NetApp) and the Network monitoring reports.
This might be useful for troubleshooting or compatibility purposes (for example, when using an external proxy server).
There are two ways you can exclude the ports:
New Agent Installation:
Rename the installer package to include the -nmp(<port1, port2, portN>) parameter. For example:
tmagent-revealed-23.34.4698-i(onsite)-r(192.168.1.201)-nmp(8080,443).pkg
And then install the Agent as usual.
Ports 8080 and 443 will be excluded from network monitoring.
Existing Agent Installation:
Add the following parameter to your Agent Configuration file (Macintosh HD > usr > local > teramind > agent > etc > agent.conf):
network-monitored-ports=8080,443
Uninstall the NetApp extension with the following command:
open /Applications/.NetApp.app --args uninstall_network
Provide the password when asked.
Reinstall the NetApp extension with the following command:
open /Applications/.NetApp.app --args install_network
Provide the password when asked.
The Agent will now ignore traffic from ports 8080 and 443.
Improvements
Ability to Monitor Console/Background Apps
Previously, the Mac Agent couldn't monitor console apps or apps with special modes (e.g., services running as agents in the background, utility apps without a standard UI, etc.).
Now, these apps will be tracked and can be viewed on reports like the BI Reports > Applications & Websites, Monitoring > Web Pages & Applications, etc.:
Bug Fixes
The Drive Criterion of Files Rules would be Ignored
Due to a bug, the Drive criterion in a Files Activity rule like the one below would get ignored. As a result, the rule would get triggered for virtually all file activities:
The bug is fixed now.
VNC Connection would Fail if Network Monitoring was On
Due to a bug with the network extension (NetApp), remote desktop connection via VNC (e.g., the Screen Sharing app) would be stuck on a loading loop and/or an error message, "Connection failed to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" would be displayed:
The bug is fixed now.
The Agent would Crash if the User Stopped Webpages from Loading
Due to a bug, the Agent would sometimes crash if the user interrupted the browser from finishing a page load operation (e.g., pressing the Stop button when a page is being opened or refreshed):
