Release of WinCollect stand-alone agent V10.0.1

About WinCollect V10.0.1

WinCollect 10 is a major new release for IBM® QRadar®. This release is available now for stand-alone only deployments.

New features

• Increased EPS limitation from 5,000 - 10,000 for local collection.
• New web-based configuration console is included in one installer.
• New agent configuration XML file is easier to read and edit.
• New update script files can be used to push changes to agents.

• Windows® 10 (most recent)
  
  NOTE: WinCollect is not supported on versions of Windows® that moved to End Of Support by Microsoft®. After software is used beyond the Extended Support End Date, the product might still function as expected; however, IBM® does not make code or vulnerability fixes to resolve WinCollect issues for older operating systems. For more information, see the WinCollect 10 documentation.

Therefore, the two newest versions of WinCollect are the versions that QRadar® support suggests with any support tickets (cases) that are opened. To prevent issues, it is important that you, as an administrator, keep WinCollect deployments updated when new versions are posted to IBM® Fix Central.
