Event Forwarder 3.8.4 is now generally available for all on-prem VMware Carbon Black EDR customers as a containerized distribution and as a standard RPM distribution. Containerized Event Forwarder 3.8.4 is compatible with containerized Carbon Black EDR Server (7.7.0+).
Features
The service employs a more efficient compression engine.
Bug Fixes
A fix for an issue that affects previous 3.8.x versions, in which compressed bundles of raw sensor events could fail to forward, even when the forwarding of those raw sensor event types is enabled. The service now correctly processes and forwards bundled, compressed event data.
