Official release of Snow Inventory Agent for Unix 8.3.0

We are pleased to announce the release of the Snow Inventory Agent for Unix 8.3.0

This release includes:

• The agent now adds the Cloud Instance Id as part of the main inventory in the snowpack.
• The agent now includes the Oracle scanners log files into the snowpack.
• The agent will now execute all Oracle Scanners during a scan.
• The agent now caches the file scan into a file to avoid duplicate file scans for the Oracle Scanners.

Customer Impact:

• The agent now adds the Cloud Instance Id under the <SystemIdentifier> tag inside the inv3x.xml file. The Id can now be visualized in the web interface.
• Note: To view Cloud Instance Ids in Snow License Manager, version 25.1.0 or later is required.
• The agent now includes the Oracle scanners log files into the snowpack. This will help with troubleshooting.
• The agent will now execute all Oracle Scanners during a scan. This enhancement eliminates the need to configure separate schedules for each scanner, improving customer experience.
