Enhancements and Updates

  • OpenSSL upgraded to v1.1.1
  • Allowing enabling and disabling of event checksum option from Agent's Web GUI, via Destination Configuration > Event Options > Append Checksum to Events
  • If Event Checksumis enabled, it is appended at the end of the events in the standard optional field format: "EventChecksum=<checksum>"
  • If Event Checksum is enabled in the configuration, the Agent will append the checksum to all events written to a file destination. In previous versions, event checksum was only appended to the events sent to network destinations

The value of this field can be configured as free text (Destination Configuration > Event Options > Event Source ID). All events will be tagged when this option is selected as a method of adding additional meta data to the event so it is known to come from a specific system. This extra data is added to the Snare and Syslog log formats, including RFC 3164 and RFC 5424
