Replacing Passwords in Agent GW Cluster With Minimal Data Loss

By Vihar Desai (csp) posted 10-24-2022 19:36

  
This is an upcoming feature in Agent Gateway & MX v14.10 (Q4 2022)
 
In previous version(v14.9 and old versions) when replacing the GW/GW Password, User needs to update the password in all agents after the password has been changed and re-register the agent to the MX because of which there is a data loss (user can have many agents in a single cluster) and it might take hours until the password is updated in all the agents.

New capabilities in v14.10 will add a second password to the GW/GW Cluster and update the new password in all agents. It will also remove the old password from GW/GW cluster. This capability will minimize the data loss of each agent, there will be only re-registartions time which can take up to -30+ seconds

In 2023, We are working on to automate this process so that users will not need to update the password agent by agent

Stay tune for up coming updates on this feature
