Added the MetricCollectionMeanDelta metric to PATROL Agent health monitoring

Use the MetricCollectionMeanDelta metric in PATROL Agent health monitoring to monitor the changes in the metric collection. This metric helps you identify performance issues early and improve monitoring accuracy. For more information, see PATROL Agent health monitoring.

Enhanced security for sudo-based accounts during PATROL Agent installation and upgrade on UNIX

The PATROL Agent installation and upgrade process on UNIX provides better security with sudo-enabled accounts. When an installer is executed using a sudo-enabled account, it runs scripts from a configurable location or a directory within the PATROL_HOME directory instead of the /tmp directory. This update mitigates risks associated with temporary directories and gives you greater control over where the installation scripts are stored and run.
