Important update for bloonix-server 1.16, bloonix-agent 1.14, bloonix-core 1.26

Hey there,

there is an important update for the some components. The following new versions are available:

• bloonix-server 1.16
• bloonix-agent 1.14
• bloonix-core >= 1.25
• bloonix-satellite 1.6

The communication between all client/server services can now be compressed to reduce network traffic. To enable compression for testing, a required parameter must be set in the configuration (/etc/bloonix/agent/main.conf) in the new version of the Bloonix agent:

server {
    compression zlib

It is imperative that the Bloonix server is updated beforehand. If the "compression zlib" parameter is not set, everything will continue as before.

Please note that a new version of the Bloonix agent will be rolled out in a few weeks (probably towards the end of March), where the parameter "compression zlib" will be set as the default in the Bloonix-Agent. If the Bloonix Agent is updated and installed with the new release at the end of March, but the Bloonix Server is not yet running on version >= 1.16, then the agents will no longer be able to communicate with the Bloonix Server.

To remain compatible, you should first update the Bloonix server at least to 1.16, as it is compatible with all Agent versions.
