Ability to limit or disable API calls made by the agent to retrieve metadata tags from AWS - The agent retrieves metadata tags from AWS to enable you to quickly identify where you need to take actions to fix alerts displayed in the Lacework Console. To ensure that the latest metadata is displayed in the Lacework Console, the agent periodically makes describe-tags API calls to retrieve tags from AWS. Starting in this release, you can use the metadata_request_interval property in the config.json agent configuration file to do the following:
Limit the number of API calls made to retrieve tags from AWS.
Disable the agent from making API calls to retrieve tags from AWS.
Support for additional configuration options in the Helm Chart - Starting in this release, you can use the following configuration options in the Helm Chart for the Lacework Linux agent. For more information, see Helm Configuration Options.
Support for specifying agent server URL when you install the agent on AWS or GCP instances using the Lacework CLI - The following Lacework CLI commands now support a server_url option to enable you to specify the agent server URL.
Support for discovering DNS requests over TCP - Starting in this release, the agent discovers DNS requests over TCP and sends them to the Lacework platform to enable it to identify DNS-over-TCP connections. If you want to disable the agent from discovering DNS requests over TCP, use the discover_dns_over_tcp property in the config.json agent configuration file.
