Trisul-Probe : Version 6.5.2866
- FEATURE: Bottom-K real time stacking option for any meter in any counter group
- FEATURE: Real Time Flow Monitor now sketches Top-K by b/w per flow, or total volume, previsouly it was recent-K
- FEATURE: Major updates to DNS-Resources extraction. DNS now captures NS,MX,CNAME for every flow
- FEATURE: Major updates to URL-Resources extraction. request response with HTTP STatus and COntent Type captured in a single resource

- FEATURE: Key Attributes - attach any number of attribute to any key. Eg, User-Agents to hosts, SNMP settings to routers, etc.
- FEATURE: Switch to NETFLOW mode and update License from the UI itself rather than having to login to the Trisul server.
- FEATURE: Many real time stabber features added to Netflow. Click on interface to see top apps, hosts, conv in real time.
- PERF: PCAP retrieval can show upto 70% improvement in speed due to better indexing of blocks
- PERF: Filtered Counter Groups - eg streaming metrics for all "Apps on Host X" is dramatically faster when a large number of such counter groups are ppresent. Previously you can have 128 such counters, Release 6.5 allows 2000 at better performance. Useful for billing and host / host group specific ttracking applications.
- BUGFIX: File Extractin - MD5 was being generated for files that were not being extracted by the "Save Binaries" App.
- BUGFIX: Large number of HOME_NETWORKS caused erroneous calculation when prefix not specified correctly for even one.
- BUGFIX: Netflow caused incorrect counts when Fragmented IP packets present, fixed template errors when multiple exporters present on one router instance.
- MISC: Trisul EDGE Graph analytics you can now filter for specific vertex groups to clear the display if too crowded
- MISC: Search flows by multiple Tags, flows to IN HTTPERR sn-1 ; flows to India with HTTP Error and which generated an IDS Priority alert.
- MISC: Use CN in TLS Orgs if ORG is absent. Previously missing ORG would show up as WTF !
- MISC: LUA API - error fix in add_alert(..) method. Bug fix - if you return false in onload(..) some script types were still loaded.
- MISC: In streaming mode file extraction (eg when reconstructing an 100MB+ ISO PKG APK ZIP downloads) some of the filenames were not constructed.
this and many other minor issues and bugs were fixed in this release, representing three months of effort.
