Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issue that prevented a view from being saved when it contained a colon in the filter definition.
  • Fixed issue with Asset API which could cause the service to become unavailable when using large batch sizes and when returning large JSON results with a single request; additional monitoring has been included to log potential throughput problems.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed intermittent TanOS upgrade issues caused by service files not being deleted when upgrading Asset.

  • Fixed issue with Asset Logical Disk sensor; it will no longer include network mounted drives.

Known Issues and Workarounds

  • The modified sensors will take between 10 minutes and 24 hours to fully take effect, due to sensor caching.

Tanium Asset 1.5.1.0011

Release Date: October 30, 2018

Feature Improvements

Support for ServiceNow Software Asset Management Pro (SAM Pro) has been added to the ServiceNow destination. When adding a new destination Asset will check your ServiceNow destination for the existing of SAM Pro and create the appropriate mappings.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed default connections batch size with creation of Flexera destination; the default and recommended batch size is 100.
  • Fixed issue with filter by text option; it now merges the report and text filters vs override the report filters.
  • Fixed issue with report column order; reports will now reflect the order specified in report editor.
  • Fixed issue with "All Users" report drilldown on user; previously the user would receive a "Failed to get the users" error message.

Tanium Asset 1.5.0.0168

Release Date: October 23, 2018

Feature Improvements

  • Asset Views:
    • Filters have been improved; provided for limiting computers and related items included in the view.
    • Checking the "Must have" option for reference attributes will limit computers that contain reference items.
    • System views, Asset service created views are created by Asset and may not be edited.
    • Views may be copied from existing system and custom views.
  • ServiceNow Destination:
    • Exported computers and related items are specified through selection of an Asset View.
  • The Flexera Destination:
    • Exported computers and related items are specified through select of an Asset View.
  • Data Retention Settings allow purging of old or stale computer data.
  • Enhanced database maintenance tasks and configuration aim to limit growth of the Asset database and ensure optimal performance.
  • Asset now supports Amazon Linux.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issue with Flexera destination where unique constraints on SQL Server tables could result in the connection run failure. The schema has been updated and the shipped database creation script should be run to replace the SQL Server database.
  • Fixed issue with a user details drill down on reports. The link is now only available when the asset ID and username field are present in a report.
  • Fixed issue with ambiguous error message when editing a report where the user does not have permission to edit.
  • Fixed issue with ServiceNow destination; when exporting a batch of computers where more than one computer has the same name the batch would be skipped. Now the second computer will be removed from the batch and will not be synched to ServiceNow.
  • Fixed issue with Report export feature where user would receive a "Failed to export the report" message. The report should now export correctly.
  • Fixed issue with external database source, previously comparison of values for matching records was case sensitive; now it is case insensitive.

Known Issues and Workarounds

  • The report "Text Filter" may result in any existing "Filters" being ignored. To work around is to add the text filter as a normal filter.
  • Exporting a report with a significant number of rows may timeout; silently fail to export the report. To work around this issue use Connect to export large reports.
  • Minor UI issues may exist, e.g. missing icons, when using Internet Explorer. For a workaround please contact your TAM.
  • The user drill down for the All Users report may fail in some instances. There is currently no workaround for this issue and it will be included in the next maintenance release.
  • When creating a new Flexera destination, the SQL Server and Exchange Connections created in connect must be manually edited / saved before running the destinations.
  • Fixed with v1.5.1 - When creating a new Flexera Destination, the Connect connections are created with a batch size of 5,000; this batch size is too large and may put unnecessary load on connect. Please update newly created connections to use a batch size of 100.
