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

Coming Soon - Organization-wide Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

You asked for it! One of the top security requests we’ve received is the ability to enforce Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) across an entire organization. Given the nature of the service that Automox provides, the need to protect data and access and reduce liability through security protocols is critical. In the spirit of controlling Automox console access as tightly as possible we are now offering enforcement of 2FA, not just enablement, to ensure all users in an organization are on the same level of security for compliance and peace of mind. We’re targeting a release in early December and will have additional details including feature documentation available. CC: @ncolyer

Coming Soon - System Management and Dashboard

In the coming weeks we will be releasing updates to the System Management page and Dashboard. The System Management page has undergone a fairly significant change. The page now has a table layout with sortable columns. Instead of subway map lines, users can see related groups and policies through a tooltip rendered on hover. Actions such as Run Policy, Assign Group/Policy, Remove Group/Policy and Manage Approvals (for manual policies) can now be executed directly from the Group/Policy table instead of having to access the edit page of an individual policy or group. There are no significant changes to the Dashboard functionality or design. There will be minor updates to the icons to better align with new styles. Additionally, the Manual Approval button on the Dashboard will no longer render a list of patches on that page, but rather take the user to the new Manual Approvals page we are creating with the policy work. This page will allow for sorting, searching and filtering - which

Coming Soon: Policy Page Updates

Based on customer feedback to the recently released Policy pages update, we’ve made a few adjustments to improve the usability of the new policy workflow. We’ve expanded the initial view of the policy selector to show all policy types, including the individual patch policies. image3200×964 121 KB We’ve added a tooltip to the policy selector page that describes the difference between the displayed options: patch, required software, and worklet. You can link directly to the product documentation from the tooltip for more information 1600×475 93.9 KB When you select a patch policy type, we now provide a policy description displayed to the right of the policy type selection. 1600×477 40.9 KB When creating a new or editing an existing policy, you can now update the policy type on the create/edit policy page. For example, if you previously chose “Patch All” on the policy selector page, you can edit that selection on the create/edit policy page. image954×216 16.4 KB image3072×4096 720
