Improvements
Microsoft Visual C++ upgraded to version 2022.
Deprecated Features
LogRhythm has deprecated Check Point collection via OPSEC LEA in favor of the newer Check Point Log Exporter. Support for OPSEC LEA was removed starting with LogRhythm System Monitor Collector version 7.7.0.8004 and results in an error in the scsm.log file if this collection method is used. Customers who need to use OPSEC LEA for collection should not upgrade agents past System Monitor 7.7.0.8002 release. For information on how to configure Check Point Log exporter, see Syslog - Check Point Log Exporter device configuration guide.
