About the release
The 11.7.0 release is the third of our twelve monthly releases planned for 2023. 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.
Datto EDR Integration: macOS and Linux deployment
Partners with Datto EDR enabled in Datto RMM will now be able to target macOS and Linux devices with an Endpoint Security policy, which will deploy Datto EDR to these operating systems. To complement this, devices with these operating systems will also display the Endpoint Security card for better visibility of the Datto EDR status. Refer to Datto Endpoint Security in Endpoint Security policy and Security in Device summary.
Datto EDR Integration: deep links
Three new deep links are available to quickly navigate to the Datto EDR portal, saving an average of 10 clicks for each button. They can be found in the following places:
Datto RMM alerts generated by Datto EDR
These navigate to a pre-filtered list of Datto EDR alerts for a device. Refer to Overview in Single Alert View.
A process-specific event inside a Datto RMM EDR alert
These navigate to the same process in Datto EDR (matched by hash) to allow for quick blocklist/allowlist management. Refer to Endpoint Security alerts: diagnostic information in Single Alert View.
The Endpoint Security card for devices with Datto EDR
This also navigates to a pre-filtered list of Datto EDR alerts for a device. Refer to Security in Device summary.
Software Management at the global and site levels
Dedicated Software Management pages allow users to review and approve managed software globally or at the site level. These actions were previously available only for single devices. Refer to Software Management.
- With the Approval Required filter, discover software requiring approval in one click.
- Control the level of detail displayed by adding or removing the Type and Latest version columns.
- Approve any or all software items simultaneously from the filtered results.
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.
- Fresh icons. Icons have been updated to IT Complete versions.
- Clearer filter tags. Tags used when configuring and viewing applied column filters are now a restyled bold theme for added clarity.
- Updated tooltips and cards. Tooltips and cards now feature rounded corners and softened colors.
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:
- Schedule Reboot
- Devices > All. Refer to Action buttons in Devices.
- Sites > Devices. Refer to Action buttons in Site summary.
- Global/Site > Filter Results. Refer to Viewing filter details in Device filters.
- Global/Site > Group Results. Refer to Viewing devices in Groups.
Additions to the ComStore
We release new ComStore components and update existing ones every month. Notable additions this month include the following:
- SNMP Database Collector: Use this new tool to gather a complete SNMP catalog – more than just a walk – of an SNMP-enabled network device. This catalog can then be sent directly to Kaseya to aid in the production of SNMP policies.
- Toggle Embedded Files in OneNote: This can be used to work around new vulnerabilities discovered in OneNote by Bleeping Computer.
- Toggle RTF in Microsoft Word (CVE-2023-21716): Disables Microsoft Word’s access to RTF files, which can be weaponized following the vulnerability in CVE-2023-21716. If your devices are patched, the same component can be used to reverse changes.
NOTE To access a full list of ComStore components, refer to List of ComStore components.
