This release of Landscape brings in some enhancements to alerts and scripts attachments, as well as a few other fixes. Read on for details.
Attachments
How often do you mention in an email that an attachment was added, only to forget to attach it before sending? Thankfully, many email clients nowadays detect this situation and try to remember you.
Well, Landscape can now do the something very similar for scripts! If you attach one or more files to a script but don’t use them in the code, Landscape will warn you.
Alert subscriptions
We added a visual clue about alert email subscriptions in the alerts page, so that people can easily see if they are subscribed to them or not without having to click on each rule:
If you see an envelope icon with a red forbidden sign on it, it means you will not get an email if the alert is triggered. That is the case of the last rule in the screenshot above (alert about activities that need approval). In that example, the current administrator is subscribed to all the other rules and will get an alert via email whenever they are triggered.
Other changes
- Tags without computers are now also shown under the Computer icon in the sidebar. Additionally, the number of computers to which each tag is assigned is also shown.
- Sometimes the server would send repeated resynchronization requests, even while one was still underway. Administrators would see several such requests in the Activities page, sometimes just minutes apart. This has been fixed.
- If editing an user that no longer existed, the server would yield an error. This could happen, for example, if the user was deleted and this information was just being updated on the server while the user edit page was still open. This has been fixed.
There have been other changes under the hood for two new exciting features we have almost ready in Landscape. Stay tuned, because they are almost ready to go live.
