HW and SW probes are not directly comparable in this regard; as of now 5080 is the latest for HW (and we are in th process of releasing upgrades), while 5130 is for SW where only the hosts can upgrade, hence our notifications. > Updating some of my SW probes would mean a considerable effort since some run > on hardware with memory constraints - not allowing an update of OpenWRT - or > within docker for which the image has not been updated by the author yet. OpenWRT 5130 is available and just today Lukas wrote a mail stating that even the auto-upgrade works, which is cool! I believe 5130 is hardly different from other 5xxx series in terms of resource needs. > Is there any indication when support for 5040/5080 probes will be > discontinued? Then I can plan the effort required. The hard deadline is not set yet but it's the ballpark of months; it kind of depends on at what pace the population upgrades [1]. Your contribution would help! :-) Regardless, we'll start enforcing up-to-date versions so older versions will eventually have to be upgraded. [1] we do see people upgrading as a result of notifications, so this process mostly works Regards, Robert > Met vriendelijke groet / Regards, > > Ernst J.
