Hello everyone,

I just updated the GRR downloads, we are releasing the GRR server
0.3.0-6 today!

Some of the features in this release (there are many small ones that
we can't list here):

The Rekall integration has been improved a lot since the last release,
live memory analysis should be a lot more stable now. Also GRR now
uses Rekall version 1.3.1 which means many new plugins and improved
analysis methods.

The have been lots of UI changes:

  • Most of the UI is now written in AngularJS giving us better
    performance.
  • We have improved hunt logging which helps when you run hunts on
    thousands on clients.
  • Clients can be labeled in the UI so you can easily hunt on a subset
    of machines.
  • We improved the client performance indicators so you can better
    assess the impact of the GRR clients on the machines they are
    installed on.
  • We also added some server performance monitoring.
  • The UI now also provides an HTTP Api to directly query GRR data.

This release also comes with new datastores. The SqliteDataStore is a
fast, local data store that is very easy to use. It's a good choice
for quickly setting up an instance and it's the fastest data store we
have but it limits your GRR server to use only a single machine since
it stores files locally.

Also new are two highly scalable data stores, the
MySQLAdvancedDataStore and the HTTPDataStore. Both those backends are
aimed at hosting rather big GRR instances and should scale well up to
thousands of clients.

There have also been tons of small improvements and bug fixes so we'd
highly recommend upgrading to the new server. There are some minor
backwards compatibility issues, please have a look at
https://github.com/google/grr-doc/blob/master/releasenotes.adoc
before upgrading.

As always, the best way to install / upgrade is to use the install
script as described in
https://github.com/google/grr-doc/blob/master/quickstart.adoc

Cheers,
-Andy
