A discussion took place about the usage of .Net Runtime 6 within ControlUp products. It was mentioned that it went end of life in November and may be embedded with the agent manager or needs to be installed separately. The impact of removing .Net 6.0 was discussed and it was noted that it may affect the logon manager or agent manager. It was also mentioned that there are two available options on the download site.
Read the entire ‘ControlUp and .Net Runtime 6: Is it needed?’ thread below:
is .Net Runtime 6 installed or needed by any ControlUp Product? I see it went EOL in November.
its needed for the Realtime dex agent manager
agent is already @ .net 4.8
Isn’t that .Net Framework? I’m referring to .Net Core\runtime.
Yes. 6.0 is end of life. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/platform/support/policy/dotnet-core
yes and will be a later version used in RTDX 9.1
What is the impact to ControlUp if we remove .Net 6.0?
will only affect the logon manger
I’m not sure what that is.
lol sorry agent manager
I am going to have to remove .Net 6.x as its end of life. What will that break?
The agent manager. https://support.controlup.com/docs/controlup-agent-manager
The agent manager (currently) functions as a watcher for the agent service. Ensuring that the service gets restarted if it fails.
> • If the Real-Time Agent Manager watchdog detects that the services its observing are stopped (including stop pending or paused) for 60 seconds (configurable under the ServiceDownDuration value), it will try to restart the service for 3 attempts (configurable under the RestartAttempts value), with each attempt after 60 seconds (configurable under the IntervalSec value).
> • If all attempts fail, you can schedule the next time to try to restart after 24 hours (configurable under the ResetPeriodHour value).
There may be some other functionality that the agent manager will perform in the future. But today it is just the watch dog functionality.
I see the agent installer either has or does not have .net runtime EMBEDDED
I just ran it and don’t see .net runtime in Control panel. so I am thinking it got installed some other way. we are going to rescan the VM to see if the EOL vulnerability shows up
it can be embedded with the agent manager (2 downloads) and if it isn’t it needs to be installed by yourself
both variations are available at the download site https://www.controlup.com/download-center/
