Hey Homer,

Weird that it doesn't show there. It should.

As for a way to handle it, the only workaround is unfortunately to 
uninstall NSS. The agent should be able to check for NSS definition 
updates, but our database bases their defs off the same date as normal 
SAV defs (which they are different and not updated that frequently) so I 
have found that the date checks don't work well for NSS.

Bug hasn't been assigned to a developer yet, so not sure of a timeline 
on when it will be fixed, but it will need a new underlying SDK for the 
agent, so it more than likely require a new agent to fix.

Nate
