Release Pre-Columbus-day release (bug fix only) · assimilation/assimilation-official

This is a bug-fix-only release of things discovered once we got more people to install it with the easy-installer in 1.0.1.

Bug Fixes

Added net-tools dependency for CentOS >= 7
Worked around brain-dead-bug in systemd
Fixed bug around iterable Drone objects which caused some discovery to be ignored.
Fixed broken links on the web site
Created directories for nanoprobe pid file
Fixed ldconfig typo in RPM packages
Added '.' character as permissible system name
Increased maximum system name length
Disabled sudoers discovery to avoid periodic errors

none

Sudoers discovery is disabled for this release - will reappear later on
No alerting, or interface to existing alerting (hooks to build your own interface are included)
high availability option for the CMA is roll-your-own using Pacemaker or similar
queries could benefit from more indexes for larger installations.
The CMA will suffer performance problems when discovering IP addresses when large numbers of nanoprobes are on a subnet.
no GUI
use with recent versions of Neo4j requires disabling authentication on Neo4j
performance with Neo4j is poor. Strangely, it's not a scalability problem. Fixes will be in a future release.
Best practices alerts currently only come out in syslog - not as events. Sorry!
Our current process only allows us to distribute 64-bit binaries. Feel free to build 32-bit binaries yourself. They still work for Ubuntu, and probably Debian and 7.0 and later versions of CentOS.
The magic installer can't install CMAs onto Fedora.
