Thank you for moving a bunch of Essential Security Items in the policy (free) to the Advanced Security policy (paid).
That was a low move, removing functionality that everybody had forever, heavy push do cripple the free version, isn't it?
Has the enshitification finally reached ZenArmor too?

Hi @lamadovaris,

Can you share a report by checking the Zenarmor logs box? We need to look into the cloud agent log file.

[almodovaris]

Oops, too late. I have already reinstalled Zenarmor from scratch.

Oops, too late. I have already reinstalled Zenarmor from scratch.

Did that fix the issue?

[almodovaris]

Yes, it did. I think the upgrade from 1.15.2 to 1.16 has gone awry.

I registered just to post here and say I have the same problem too. I upgraded to engine 1.16, and while the features are cool, I had to reinstall due to some database changes (kept getting errors in cloud_log when saving). I've already posted a ticket and gave some files, I had to reinstall to get going again.

[almodovaris]

Enduring error: it does not obey whitelisting.

Hi,

One of Zenarmor users has shared a report stating that the issue has been resolved. If it wasn't you, @bd1308, then we have not received the report. Could you please share it again?

installed 1.16 yesterday, still on the devices page i only see

"There are no devices to display."

i have home edition on a aliexpress N200 mini pc with 4x i226 NICs running in routed mode (L3 mode with emulated driver). everything else seems to be working fine. all regular reports are updating, etc. is there anything special needed to do to enable this? the documentation does not have any troubleshooting sections.

edit: it seems there is a clear device database option. once i did that, devices started showing up relatively quickly.

Hi,

Did you restart engine after update?

[dirtyfreebooter]

Hi,

Did you restart engine after update?

unclear, i didn't check. there were no noticeable errors after install and i would assume the pkg post-install would do whatever is required. i thought about restarting the engine, but then i couldn't find an option on any UI page to restart, but then i found that clear database option and that seemed to work

[dirtyfreebooter]

oh hah, i see, you have to mouse over to get these options to appear. trololo
