Recommended Software Update

Micro Focus is announcing the release of

Product: Security ArcSight Management Center
Version: 3.0
Languages: English

The following  new key features are available with this version:

The ArcMC 3.0 release is focused on the following areas.

ArcMC now supports both a non-Containerized, traditional install and a new Containerized installation

• Non-containerized, traditional ArcMC is supported and is recommended for pre-existing legacy deployments (e.g. ArcMC 2.9x).
• Upgrade to non-containerized v3.0.0 is supported from prior releases

New Containerized Deployment – Fusion ArcMC

• ArcMC can now be deployed into the containerized ArcSight Suite as a component of the Fusion capability.  This is the recommended model for Recon and Intelligence, supporting new deployments only, not upgrades from prior ArcMC releases.
• Containerized applications support built-in upgrades
• Cloud-native deployment into AWS and Azure
• While more than one cluster node can have the ‘Fusion’ Label, only a single Fusion ArcMC instance will run at any given time.  Kubernetes cluster management will automatically restart failed pods. 
• Fusion ArcMC UI is launched from Fusion UI.  Login is into Fusion UI, supporting Single Sign-On to ArcMC UI
• Consolidated Group/User/Role management within Fusion

Logical Connector Grouping

• SmartConnectors configured with a connector group name will have the group name shown in ArcMC license reports. Grouping enables customers who have multiple connectors servicing a log source to view connector licensing metrics for the group.

Platform Currency

• Platform component version updates have been certified on RHEL 8.2 and 7.9, and CentOS 8.2 and 7.9, with current releases of Azul Zulu Java runtime and Tomcat 9.x.
