Released: 6 September 2022
Issues fixed
These are the issues we have fixed in this release:
| Issue key | Description |
|---|---|
| OP-48906 | ProCheckUp: Privileged administrative functions no longer require password. When setting up Opsview Cloud system, the NOPASSWD flag has been removed from the users sudo configuration. This ensures users performing administrative functionality are asked to explicitly re-enter a strong password. |
