Hello Seniors, Hope all is well.

I would like to know something about Sniffer Patches. 

Is it mandatory and recommended to install latest available sniffer patch, even if we do not have any Issues in the environment ?

OR we need to install only if we have any issues. Please suggest what is recommendation for the Sniffer Patch. Any Tech Notes for Sniffer Patch Install ? If , so please share the same. Thank you for your help.

I recommend installing the latest sniffer patch IBM publishes.  The reason to do this is a) there are fixes included for the problem you may have tomorrow and b) if you do discover a problem, IBM Support will ask if you have the latest sniffer patch installed.

There are Release Notes for each Sniffer Patch release.  These may be of interest:

• Appliance patch installation – guardiumnotes
• Guardium Patch Type Information
• How to install patches

Good luck.!
