Replacing Winpcap with npcap

[infrastructure]

Hello,

We host several virtual machines in Azure that are running the OneAgent. The problem is that we have recently started to deploy a probe for Darktrace which uses npcap, and that install fails due to winpcap being present.

I saw in another post (https://answers.dynatrace.com/questions/223685/view.html) that Dynatrace is planning to replace winpcap with npcap. I was wondering if there was a time frame for this or if it was still something you are planning to do?

Kind regards

Grant

Hi, we plan to replace WinPcap with npcap at the beginning of next year (first quarter).

Our security team has questioned the same about WinPCAP and raised concerns. We are interested in know more details about npcap and how would it be rolled out. Looking forward to hear

Hi,

Is there any advance or any roadmap about this that we can track or something?

According to the documentation, Npcap installation of OneAgent is already available:
