About the release

The 11.1.0 release is the ninth of our twelve monthly releases planned for 2022. Please see below for the highlights, along with the full list of fixes and improvements. As always, we look forward to your feedback as we continue to improve the product every single month.

Alert views at the global, site, and device levels

We have made a number of improvements to the ability to view alerts across the interface. These improvements include the following:

  • A new Alerts page under the Global section of the left-hand navigation. Refer to Alerts.
  • A new Alerts page at the site level, available from the left-hand navigation when viewing a site. Refer to Alerts.
  • Improvements to the Alerts table on the Device Summary page and the Single Alert View page. Refer to Alerts and Single Alert View.
  • Ability to filter for and view resolved alerts. Refer to List of alerts.

Device group security level support

It is now possible to limit access to only those devices that are part of a device group in the New UI. Administrators can now create a security level that grants remote takeover access to only a handful of devices to a user or a third-party software provider. When only the Device Groups option is enabled in the Device visibility section of a security level, an assigned user will be able to access the devices from the selected device groups from the New UI. The user will only see a device list and have the ability to use remote actions. Users of this security level will not be able to access jobs, the ComStore, components, filters, policies, and reports. Refer to Device Groups security level.

KaseyaOne Integration

  • Application launcher. With the acquisition being completed at the end of June 2022, we went to work to make accessing all of the Kaseya and Datto products easier. The app launcher is a button in the upper-right corner of every product that can be used to quickly navigate from product to product. To get the app launcher set up, you will need to link your KaseyaOne account (Kaseya’s Partner Portal) with your Datto Partner Portal account. After the unified login is set up, you will be able to configure the applications included in the app launcher from KaseyaOne. Refer to KaseyaOne Integration.
  • Cooper Insights. One part of the acquisition is integrating Datto RMM with Cooper Insights. Accessed through KaseyaOne, Cooper Insights will let you know how to make your Datto RMM configuration more secure and ensure you are taking advantage of the latest features. From KaseyaOne, you will be able to navigate to relevant Datto RMM Help system topics to then take action in Datto RMM. Refer to Cooper Intelligence Engine.

Other New UI updates

Additions to the ComStore

We release new ComStore components and update existing ones every month. A notable addition this month is the following component:

  • Uptime Monitor (Windows). Post your devices’ uptime counters in a UDF and optionally alert if devices have been online for too long a stretch. You can even configure a response component to reboot the device automatically.

NOTE  To access a full list of ComStore components, refer to List of ComStore components.
