Latest CSPC build?

[graham.kirtley]

Hi folks,

I’m about to deploy another CSPC and are would like to know what any forthcoming CSPC release schedule is?

Due to security requirements this collector will not have internet access, thus it will not be upgradable once built; hence the desire to be using the latest build.

Thanks in advance,

Graham

Thanks,

Hi Taylor,

I know what/where the current release is, my specific question was concerning the release schedule?

Let me check internally, and I will let you know if I receive an ETA on the next OVA release.

Thank you for providing the date.
It looks like we will deploy the new collectors on 2.7 then rebuild at a later date, unless the upgrade files will be provided to support collectors that don't have direct internet connectivity?

Hi Graham,

To apply incremental CSPC upgrades, the collector does need to be connected to the Internet.  We have heard from other customers that offline upgrades are needed, so this is being looked into, however, there is no timeline for making this available. 

Cheers,
