Upgrade your NetMon to 3.4.2

We're happy to announce the release of NetMon 3.4.2.  If you are working on an entry, or plan to work on an entry, we recommend you upgrade your NetMon to 3.4.2. 

Why Upgrade?

  • The DPA editor has been improved. You'll have a much easier time writing and editing rules in 3.4.2
  • We've fixed a bug with DNS. The DNS flags field is now a correct integer representation of the binary flags.
  • If you haven't installed NetMon yet, and you plan to install it on a virtual platform, you'll have a much easier time getting it setup. We now recognize a wider range of partions (HBA, VBA from KVM for example), and network interface names. 
  • If you are using Discovery or Visualize to create new tables or dashboard components, NetMon now properly auto-capitalizes metadata field names (making it easier!)

In other words, even though it's a minor release, you will get a lot of direct contest entry building benefit out of an upgrade!

How Do I Upgrade?

Full upgrade instructions are available in the NetMon Community. The short version is:

  1. Download the upgrade file from here: http://resources.logrhythm.com/NM3.4.2/upgrade-3.4.2.1053.lrp
  2. In your NetMon, log in as Admin
  3. Go to Configuration->Upgrade
  4. Click on Choose Files, select the LRP and click Upload
  5. Comapre the displayed hash value to this one: http://resources.logrhythm.com/NM3.4.2/upgrade-3.4.2.1053.lrp.sha256
  6. Assuming they match, click Start Upgrade and wait a few minutes

You will NOT lose your DPA rules, Query Rules,  or dashboards.

Good luck with your entries! We're looking forward to the submissions!
