 -   **[Monitor Linux events](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=linux-checks-policies&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Starting in version 3.15.0, monitor Linux events using Linux event checks.


 -   **[Discover MSSQL components using ACC-VC](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=exploring-accv&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Starting in version 1.5.0, use ACC-VC to discover MSSQL components in your environment.

-   **[Discover software information with ACC-VC using SWID tags](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=exploring-accv&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Starting in version 1.5.0, gather software information with ACC-VC using software identification \(SWID\) tags on an agent and a ServiceNow® instance.

Starting in version 6.0.0, benefit from enhanced debug logging by sending all debug statements to a log file

-   **[Manage Agent Client Collector certificates](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=acc-yml-options&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Starting in version 5.0, configure a schedule by which to rotate Agent Client Collector certificates which enable communication between agents and ITOM Cloud Services. Rotating certificates ensures that when a certificate expires, a new certificate is in place.

-   **[Perform high-volume Agent Client Collector upgrade in a macOS environment](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=acc-high-volume-upgrade&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

-   **[Disable checks using heavy system resources while in CPU protection mode](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=checks-policies&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Starting in version 5.0, disable only those checks that are causing high CPU usage while in CPU protection mode. It is still possible to disable all checks and completely stop data collection while in CPU protection mode.

In a Windows environment, Agent Client Collector has improved the accuracy of how check CPU usage is monitored.
