Restorepoint PowerPack, version 103

Version 103 of the "Restorepoint" PowerPack addresses an issue in the SSH/Key credential.

This PowerPack works in conjunction with the "Restorepoint" SyncPack.

System Requirements

The "Restorepoint" PowerPack requires:

  • SL1 PowerFlow platform version 2.4.0 or later.
  • SL1 version 11.2.0 or later. For details on upgrading SL1, see the relevant SL1 Platform Release Notes.
  • Restorepoint version 5.4 or later.

Installing the PowerPack

By default, installing a new version of a PowerPack will overwrite all content in that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) in SL1 to prevent the new version of the PowerPack from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields.

If you are currently using the Dynamic Applications in the PowerPack to monitor devices, collection errors might occur for one or two polling cycles during the installation of a new version. To prevent collection errors during an upgrade, you can optionally disable collection for monitored devices before performing the following steps and re-enable collection after the upgrade.
