Bug ID 423260: Now all software checks are directly available in agent selector in branch rule expression

Last Modified: Jul 12, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP APM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
11.4.0, 11.4.1

Fixed In:
11.5.0, 11.4.1 HF2, 11.4.0 HF6

Opened: Jun 13, 2013

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

There are two changes: 1. Starting with BIG-IP v11.4.0 the system has new additions like HD Encryption, Peer-to-peer, Windows Health agent, patch management and anti-spyware software checks to older software checks like Antivirus/Firewall. In the process all these checks are in agent selector in branch rule expression builder, which might make it hard for administrator to find these agents. 2. Branch rule expression builder has non-deterministic condition called database-age, that should be configured in the agent properties configuration rather than branch rule expression builder. Some negative conditions were removed too. NOTE: Branch rule expression builder is available via: VPE :: Edit access policy :: Agent (e.g., antivirus) :: Branch rules :: Expression :: Change).

Impact

Usability issue.

Conditions

Access policy, software checks.

Workaround
