| Armor Toolbox Bug Fix
We have addressed an issue affecting the AMP Toolbox page that was causing delays and errors when loading scheduled tasks. This update improves the performance and reliability of the Toolbox page, ensuring that users can access their scheduled tasks without encountering timeouts or errors.
Enhanced Page Loading:
The Toolbox page now loads more efficiently, significantly reducing the time it takes to retrieve and display scheduled task data.
Users will no longer encounter the “Endpoint request timed out” error when navigating to the Toolbox page.
Armor customers and support teams can now schedule and execute Armor Agent updates directly from the AMP Toolbox for Linux VM’s.
Improved Query Performance:
We have optimized the database query responsible for fetching scheduled tasks. The query now specifically targets registered virtual machines (VMs), ensuring that only relevant data is retrieved and reducing the likelihood of timeouts.
This change results in faster page load times and a smoother user experience.
