Corner Bowl Server Manager full changelog

The Agent Enabled setting has been removed from templates. Templates are now automatically executed on the agent if installed, otherwise templates fallback to native APIs such as Windows Shares and Remove WMI. The Idle Agent Trigger settings have been moved to the Host Properties View.
The sample Templates have been updated to no longer include both an agent based and agentless version of each Template.
The SQL Server Data Provider has been updated to support Multi-Subnet Failover.
The recently added Batch Export was incorrectly validating selected Templates and Reports. This bug has been fixed.
A new Windows Update History Template has been added that enables users create a summary report of windows updates.
The recently enhanced Event Log Import feature was only importing zip files. This bug has been fixed.
The Event Log Import has been enhanced to minimize internal exceptions while reading entries which was previously slowing the import.

Previously the AU-2 6.1 Audit Policy Change Report was displaying the Event Category in the Category column rather than the Audit Policy Category. This bug is fixed. To get the fix, delete the previous report then select Tool | Create Default Objects.
Previously when remote installing the Agent on Windows, the remote execution command was using a UNC path instead of a local path. In some cases the installation failed to execute. This bug has been fixed.
Previously when a agent disconnected while a template was running, the disconnect was not propagated leaving the running template in limbo until the agent server time out was reached. The disconnect now causes any running templates to error out with a connection closed error.
Previously log monitors that were grouping entries by a column value were not removing expired entries. This bug has been fixed.
System Admins can now receive an email notification when new hosts are automatically added as well as when adding a new host would exceed the license node count. Use the Miscellaneous Options View to enable this new feature.
A recent update to Windows or possibly .Net has caused registry calls to non-existent keys to no longer throw a key not found exception but simply return null. This has major implications and at a minimum caused our agent installers to no longer push the .Net embedded installer. This build now handles the null value being returned so the proper installer is executed.
The Host Inventory Report has been updated to include the option to include host descriptions.

The File Activity Monitor has been overhauled to support a large number of files.
A recent bug was introduced that caused new Windows Hosts to no longer display the Logon As tab found in the Host Properties view. This bug has been fixed.
Previously when a license failed to load, typically because the MAC address was incorrect, users had to hunt down the error in the server.log file. The Management Console has been updated to immediately open the License View to expose license errors.
A new Ubuntu sample Failed Logon Report and a new Failed Logon IPS Template have been added. The IPS Template automatically blocks attacking Ips.

Previously the Database Action only supported SQL Server. The action has been updated to includes support for MySQL.
Previously the Host Inventory Report did not support Database Actions, the report can now be exported to user defined tables.
The Dashboard’s Log Database Summary Tabs have been updated to use up to 10 concurrent tasks to retrieve results. Initial tests against a remote installation using Sqlite produced results 8 times faster.
A new Batch Export function has been added. To export multiple configuration objects, select File | Export -> Export Corner Bowl Objects.
Several root nodes in the Explorer view have been moved to a new root group called Advanced. The root tree nodes are, Auto-Configurators, Environment Variables and Monitor Hierarchy.

Previously when impersonation had been configured, then disabled without clearing the username, impersonation was still executed. This bug has been fixed.
Previously the Host Agent Tab was querying the Server Manager 2023 Agent installation registry key instead of the 2025 registry key. This bug has been fixed.
The Host Agent Tab has been overhauled to better display the installed version and automatically update the connected and disconnected state.
The Host Properties View has been updated to only display tabs which are usable for the selected device type.
The EVTX file import feature has been updated to support selecting a folder that contains zip files. Once selected the files are decompressed to the service’s temporary directory then imported. Once complete the temporary files are automatically deleted.
A new System Reset feature has been added to the Tools Menu Bar item. Users can now import a batch of Archived Event Log Files, execute audit reports, then once complete reset the system and process the next batch of files.
Added help content for the following templates: RDP Session Monitor, System Security Monitor, WMI Query. Added help for the Disconnect RDP Session Action.
Previously when restoring from a backup via the Management Console, the service was restarted by the console. If the user was not a domain or local admin, the restart would fail. The restore from backup function has been updated to internally restart the service removing the requirement to be an administrator.
The syslog server have been updated to use the DNS resolved local hostname when a packet is received from the loopback interface.

Previously when manually reviewing Native EVTX File Properties from within the Management Console for the localhost, if the host was configured to use the agent however the agent was not connected, an error was thrown. These functions have been updated to fallback to use the service rather than the local agent when not connected.
A new Syslog Template has been added to support Dell Isilon Syslog Messages.
A new column extension has been added called SID Lookup which is supported in Syslog Consolidation and Syslog Monitor Templates enabling syslog messages that contains SIDs to be looked up. Please note this extension is only supported on the local domain.
A recent changed caused the Retention policy to incorrectly calculate the total number of days being saved into the archive. The primary days were ignored. If the value for the archive was less than the primary, no data was archived. This bug has been fixed.

The Hosts Properties View has been updated to include an RDP Tab. Sessions can reviewed and users kicked from the server.
Previously when running the Corner Bowl Management Service TCP Server using TLS, non-encrypted connection attempts leaked a socket handle. This bug has been fixed.
