VIDEO Datto RMM 11.6.0 Release Overview
Join Product Manager George Cochrane as he provides a quick overview of the Datto RMM 11.6.0 release featuring the new Datto EDR & Security Dashboard, new ComStore components, IT Glue Integration improvements, the latest product design updates, new languages in reports, localhost SNMP monitoring, the ability to edit internal IP addresses on the device summary page for certain device types, and the new Account Settings page.
Datto EDR Integration: dashboard template
Partners with Datto EDR enabled in their Datto RMM account will see a new dashboard template available. The widgets in this dashboard are pre-filtered on Endpoint Security, Ransomware, and Antivirus alert types, giving you a clean view on the most urgent security issues to address.
This dashboard is designed for monitors with resolutions of 1920 x 1080 pixels, but feel free to customize it to your own monitor size after you’ve added it.
Refer to Dashboards toolbar to learn about this pre-made dashboard and other templates available from the Dashboard Library.
IT Glue Integration: Organization password search
We are pleased to announce that the search functionality on the Passwords tab of the IT Glue pane will now also apply to the Organization level results. This change enables technicians to find important organization passwords, such as domain credentials, even if there are thousands of organization results. This change better supports IT Glue users who prefer to store passwords at the organization level rather than create embedded passwords for each managed configuration. Refer to Passwords in IT Glue pane in Datto RMM.
IT Glue Integration: device navigation
Some Community members suggested that the button on each page of the IT Glue pane could be labeled better, and that a button going directly to the configuration would be useful. We have now renamed the existing button for each tab and added an Open Configuration button to quickly access all IT Glue details about your device. Refer to IT Glue pane in Datto RMM.
IT Complete: common look and feel
We continue to smooth transitions when switching between IT Complete products by implementing more elements of the Kaseya Design System. This specification aims to ensure similar icons and stylings are used to help products feel familiar, even when encountered for the first time.
- Updated breadcrumbs: Breadcrumbs have been reduced in size, restyled, and added to pages where they are currently missing to aid navigation. Refer to Breadcrumbs.
- Relocated Show Me How and Send Feedback buttons: These buttons are now icons in the header bar and duplicated under the Help menu. Refer to Show Me How menu and Sending feedback.
- Action button alignment: Page-level action buttons are now located on the right-hand side for a more efficient use of page header space. As an eample, refer to Action buttons in Device summary.
- Restyled action icons: Several icons signifying actions have been restyled to buttons for better visibility.
New languages in reports
Besides English and German, reports can now be scheduled in Spanish, French, or Italian as well. Refer to Language in Report scheduler - Legacy UI (legacy UI) and Language in Reports (New UI).
Localhost SNMP monitoring
SNMP credentials can now be configured from the device summary page of Agent based devices to monitor the localhost without a separate Network Node. Refer to the SNMP Credential field in the Summary card.
Global credential availability
Global Agent Deployment, ESXi, and SNMP credentials are now available to all sites in the New UI without prior enablement from Site Settings in the legacy UI.
Edit network device IP address
You can now edit the internal IP address for network devices, network printers, and ESXi hosts from the respective device summary page. Refer to Summary in Device summary.
Account Settings
Administrator users can now manage the Datto RMM account name, email, and locale in Setup > Account Settings. Refer to Account Settings.
Row selection improvements
We’re continuing to remove limitations on the number of rows available for selection when performing actions on list items. It is now possible to select all rows on a page, or all rows across all pages, from certain lists using the new drop-down arrow next to the check box in the table header.
Implementing the new asynchronous processing approach requires working on each action and list combination separately. The actions and lists benefiting from the new approach in this release are as follows:
- Export to CSV
- Automation > Job Results. Refer to Devices in Job results.
- Automation > Jobs. Refer to Action buttons in Jobs overview.
- Device summary > Alerts card. Refer to Alerts in Device summary.
- Devices summary > Alerts page. Refer to Alerts.
- Global/Site > Alerts. Refer to Alerts.
- Create a Job or Quick Job
- Global/Site > Devices. Refer to Action buttons in Devices.
- Global/Site > Filter and Group results. Refer to Viewing filter details in Device filters and Viewing devices in Groups.
- Automation > Job Results. Refer to Devices in Job results.
Additions to the ComStore
We release new ComStore components and update existing ones every month. Notable additions this month include the following:
- Windows 11: Upgrade or Update to Latest Feature Release: Your requests were heard loud and clear, and there is now a counterpart to the Windows 10 Latest Feature Release component for Windows 11 using Microsoft’s Windows Installation Assistant. Please note that this component will forcibly reboot devices when the installation is ready to proceed.
- Configure Windows Targeted Release Version: This component can be used to keep your systems from updating past a certain release and return order to your infrastructure.
NOTE To access a full list of ComStore components, refer to List of ComStore components.
Updates since the last release
| Type | Summary |
|---|---|
| Fix | The Datto RMM platform no longer raises offline alerts and marks network devices as offline if the Datto RMM Agent Service and Agent Process are disconnected from the platform. Network devices will only alert/show offline if the Network Node's Agent Service is online and does not receive a ping response from the network device. |
| Fix | The Device UID has been returned to the device registry, reverting the change made in 11.5.0 to bind this to a file only. |
| Foundation | The Software card now defaults to Installed software instead of Managed software to remove unnecessary calls on the Activity Log service when device pages are first loaded. Refer to Software in Device summary. |
| Foundation | The device summary page performance was improved by removing dependencies on the Activity Log service when counting the number of software items needing attention. |
