Installation packages that were generated using the earlier builds can no longer be used to install or register new Traps agents. Traps agents that were already installed using the earlier build will continue to connect to Traps management service and receive policy. However, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest build containing the hotfix. For additional information, see [Addressed Issues in Traps Agent 6.1.5-h1](#addressed-issues-in-traps-agent-615-h1). | #### Features Introduced in Traps Agent 6.1.5 The following table describes the new features introduced in Traps agent 6.1.5 release. | Feature | Description | | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Agent Proxy Settings in WPAD Environments | You can now install the Traps agent on endpoints that acquire their proxy settings through Web Proxy Auto-Discovery (WPAD) protocol. When the endpoint is set to Automatically detect settings in its network configuration, either manually or scripted, the Traps agent is now able to use the settings as automatically received through the defined PAC file. No additional agent settings are required for this use case. | #### Features Introduced in Traps Agent 6.1.4 The following table describes the new features introduced in Traps agent 6.1.4 release. | Feature | Description | | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Anti-Malware Whitelist for Mac | The Traps agent can now exclude processes from examination by Traps malware protection modules. The anti-malware whitelist is maintained by Palo Alto Networks and can be updated through content updates or support exceptions. | | Support by Cortex XDR 2.0 | Traps agent installation package is now available for download from both Traps management service and Cortex XDR 2.0 | #### Features Introduced in Traps Agent 6.1.3 The following table describes the new features introduced in Traps agent 6.1.3 release. | Feature | Description | | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Windows 10 Update 1909 Support | You can now install Traps on Windows 10 update 1909 endpoints. For complete compatibility information, see Palo Alto Networks Compatibility Matrix. | #### Features Introduced in Traps Agent 6.1.2 The following table describes the new features introduced in Traps agent 6.1.2 release. | Feature | Description | | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | macOS 10.15 Support | Traps now supports macOS 10.15. For complete compatibility information, see the Palo Alto Networks Compatibility Matrix. **Due to changes in the security settings of the new macOS version, you must allow full disk access for Traps on your endpoint to enable full protection. Otherwise, if you do not authorize full disk accessfor Traps, the Traps agent provides only partial protection on the endpoint. For more details, refer to the Traps Agent 6.1 Administrator’s Guide.** To upgrade Traps on macOS 10.15, you must install new Traps versions before upgrading the operating system: 1. Upgrade the Traps agent to Traps 6.1.2 from Traps management service or using the deployment method of your choice. 2. Upgrade the endpoint to macOS 10.15. If you upgraded the operating system before you upgraded the Traps agent, you must uninstall and reinstall the Traps agent on the endpoint either using a third-party deployment tool such as JAMF or manually. | | Windows Event Logging Enhancement | Traps adds support for additional Windows Event Log types. To collect Windows Event Logs, you must enable Traps to Monitor and collect endpoint events in an Agent Settings profile. If you also use Cortex XDR you can use the Event Log Query to search for events by event attributes. | | Configurable Agent Proxy Settings | In environments where Traps agents communicate with the Traps management service through a system-wide proxy, you can now set an application specific proxy for the Traps agent without affecting the communication of other applications on the endpoint. You can set, manage and disable the Traps agent proxy configuration in the Traps management service. • If your agent is communicating directly with the Traps management service, you can assign it a dedicated proxy in the Endpoints window. Once you choose to disable this proxy, the agent will revert back to communicating directly with Traps management service. • If your agent is not connected to Traps management service yet, you must assign the proxy IP address and port number during the Traps agent installation process on the endpoint. | | Traps for Restricted Networks | With the Palo Alto Networks Broker Service, you can now deploy Traps in restricted networks where endpoints do not have a direct connection to the Internet. The Broker Service acts as a proxy that mediates communication between the endpoints in your restricted network and Traps management service. This enables your Traps agents to receive security policy updates from, and send logs and files to Traps management service without a direct connection. To use the Broker Service, you deploy a Broker VM on your network and configure your Traps agents for communication with the Broker VM instead of the Traps management service. | #### Features Introduced in Traps Agent 6.1.1 The following table describes the new features introduced in Traps agent 6.1.1 release. | Feature | Description | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Windows Event Logging | To provide additional context during an investigation, Traps now collects information about Windows Event Logs including the event level, event ID, message, username, and provider name. To collect Windows Event Logs, you must enable Traps to Monitor and collect endpoint events in an Agent Settings profile. If you also use Cortex XDR you can use the Event Log Query to search for events by event attributes. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
