πŸ”΄End of Life (EOL) Tracker

The Software End of Life Tracker in Menaxa gives you full visibility into software versions nearing or already past their support deadline β€” so you can take action before it turns into a security liability.

This module is essential for anyone managing software infrastructure, dependency lifecycles, or secure production environments.


πŸ“¦ Overview

Metric

Description

Active Software

Number of currently supported software versions

Expiring in 30 Days

Software that will become EOL soon β€” needs urgent attention

Expired Software

Versions that have already reached EOL and are now unsupported

At a glance, Menaxa helps you track, plan, and act on software aging out of support β€” with exact dates, days remaining, and current version info.


🧠 Why EOL Tracking Matters

When a software version reaches its End of Life, it no longer receives:

  • Security patches

  • Stability updates

  • Official vendor support

Running EOL software leaves you vulnerable to known exploits β€” often without any future fix.

Attackers actively search for and target known EOL systems across cloud, on-prem, and IoT deployments.


πŸ”Ž Dashboard Sections

βœ… Active Software

  • Still receiving support from the vendor

  • Fully patched and safe to operate

  • Includes exact version and support status

⚠️ Expiring in the Next 30 Days

  • Needs proactive upgrades

  • Includes days remaining, current version, and EOL date

  • Examples: MariaDB 1.7, Angular 17, GitLab 7.9

Click β€œView All Expiring Soon” to get the full list and filter by product or vendor.

❌ Expired Software

  • Versions that are no longer supported

  • Marked in red with exact days since expiration

  • These versions should be removed or upgraded immediately
