Custom field macros for remote monitoring
When configuring remote modules, having to enter information about the same agent several times
can quickly become monotonous (e.g. an SNMP community string). Custom field macros allow you
to use agent custom fields as macros for certain module configuration options.

Compatibility SNMP v3 to the SNMP Enterprise server
Up to this release 732, SNMP v3 checks were performed via the network server, which resulted inlong server delays if a large number of checks were run. With the update, a new functionality has
been implemented to reduce these delays in the network server through SNMP v3 checks on theSNMP Enterprise server.

Synchronization of server plugins
In this update, a synchronization of server plugins between the Metaconsole and the nodes has
been incorporated.

Other improvements* In the past Release, the execution of responses in events was introduced in a massive way; inthis update it has been improved by increasing the maximum number of responses (before, themaximum number was 10) and a macro with the user ID has been introduced, so that it is possible
to know who executes the responses.
* The creation of PDF reports has been improved in order to make their visualization much clearer
and more understandable. From this update, it will be possible to put tables inside other tables
with greater clarity, and in addition, no table will be cut when changing pages.
* A default tree view of services has been added to the service view, which makes it easier to see
the status of the branches without having to go inside each service.
