Release Today - Activity Log

Later this month, we will be releasing an updated look and feel for the Activity Log. We will be moving the Activity Log to a dark theme. We have also moved the search and filters to a collapsable left panel. Both of these updates will bring the Activity Log more inline with the rest of the console experience.

Released Today - Device Details

Today we released a new Device Details page as part of our overall Vue migration. The updated design of the Device Details page has been updated with a few enhancements. Auto save for editable Device attributes has been changed to an explicit action. We are now exposing the status for the Device, Connection and Policy. The icons for each status has had a minor refresh. The policy and software tables remain sortable with the same actions exposed. As always, we would love to hear your feedback - so feel free to reply to this thread with your thoughts. image2708×3611 738 KB

Coming Soon - Group Parameter in MSI Installer

Great news for folks deploying the AX agent in bulk or individually. We will be enabling users to identify a target group with a new group parameter in the MSI executable via command line. Groups will still have to be set-up ahead of time in the console, but this should help save time as you bulk add new hosts to your organizations and get them on policy runs as quickly as possible. Please be on the look-out for agent command line guide updates and other helpful tips for using this parameter. We’re targeting early December for a release and will post in Announcements when it is live. CC: @ncolyer

Patch Tuesday Rundown - January 2021

Happy January! This month, I thought we’d try something new and run down some of the highlights from this month’s Patch Tuesday, straight from the Automox experts. With 83 new Microsoft vulnerabilities addressed, 10 of which are critical updates, and one that’s already been exploited in the wild, we’re already having a volatile start to the new year. This patch release represents an increase over last month’s batch and features this year’s first zero-day exploit - a critical remote code execution vulnerability within Microsoft Defender. Not to mention, Adobe’s newest patch addresses 6 security updates and 1 hotfix addressing multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities, privilege escalations, and sensitive information disclosures across their products. Plus, Adobe has officially designated Adobe Flash Player as end of life, recommending everyone remove Adobe Flash on all endpoints. You can find a full list of the patches and updates from Firefox, Adobe, and Microsoft in our Patch Tue

Coming Soon: API LImits

In the coming weeks, we will be releasing updates to the Automox API and introducing API limits to ensure optimum platform performance for our customers. We will begin to roll out changes to our endpoints to begin to support and eventually enforce limits on the number of results returned per request. These endpoints will have a limit parameter available, and this parameter will have both a default value and a maximum limit. The limit argument will allow values between 1-500, with a default of 500, and a max of 500. Our endpoint responses do not contain pagination information so API users will have to check to see if there are additional pages. For example, if 499 results are returned when 500 results are requested, there is no second page. If 500 results are returned, a second request will be needed to check for and fetch additional results. These changes to the endpoints will be documented at https://developer.automox.com/ We will be rolling out these limit arguments for our API end

Coming Soon - Software Page

This week we are planning to release an updates Software page. The updated design of the Software Page has changed to include the ability to configure and sort columns, and allow the user to perform actions on a per software basis. Filters are presented in a more typical web standard format whereby selecting a filter will narrow your results. These updates have not changed the basic functionality of the page, but allows the user to better manipulate the content to view what is most important or relevant. Also, you can now perform actions directly from the software page in addition to the device detail page. image2872×2635 819 KB

Oracle SE Java 8 Support Shift

Hello Automox Community! Effective immediately, Automox is no longer able to support patching for Oracle SE Java 8. Many third-party software providers have EULAs (End User License Agreements) that prevent patching solutions from directly redistributing patches or software updates. Recently, Oracle’s Java SE 8 went through the “End of Public Updates” process for legacy releases. Patches can vary by system architecture and platform but the fundamentals remain the same. What this means for Automox users is that Automox will no longer be able to enable third-party application patching for Oracle SE Java 8 without violating the EULA from Oracle. The good news is that Automox can still help automate patching of third-party applications like Java 8 through Worklets and our template guidance. For additional details on this announcement, please see our blog for more information.

Coming Soon: Reboot Deferrals and Custom Notifications

We’re happy to share that we’ll be releasing a new option that allows you to configure and have more control over system reboots after a patch update. The ability to defer system reboots has been a long-standing request from our existing customers, so we’re excited to be delivering this capability next week. The new reboot deferral options will be available when you create or edit a policy. This new feature allows system administrators to configure a maximum number of reboot deferrals and the delay intervals for those deferrals. If an update to a current device requires a reboot, the device owner receives a notification that a reboot is required. If reboot deferrals are configured, they have the option to reboot now or defer the reboot for a set amount of time, a set number of times. You do not need to do anything to prepare for this feature being released. All policies will maintain their current settings. Once the console is updated, you can create new policies or edit existing polic
