This month brings version 25.4 of FlexxAgent π―, which includes two new sections in Portal, a new feature, and enhancements focused on strengthening security and optimizing platform usage.
New Featuresβ
π Analyzer in Portal. You can now check information about the applications installed on devices and the licenses acquired directly from Portal.
π Monitor in Portal. From this new section, you can view events that might affect the functionality of devices and customize predefined alerts according to each organization's needs.
π FlexxAgent version selection. Organizations can now choose which agent version they want to use. This functionality is configured in Portal and applies to the reporting groups.
Improvementsβ
π¨ New control to define cron-type flows. Besides using cron format strings and UTC time, it's now possible to define these flows graphically using a recurrence pattern and in the user's time zone.
π¨ Ability to change the report group for powered-off devices. When changing the report group of a powered-off device, the action will be scheduled and automatically applied when the device is turned on.
π¨ Antivirus detection. FlexxAgent extends the information obtained from a device's antivirus. Detection is automatic only on the Windows Client operating system (Windows 7 or later). On Windows Server, only Bitdefender and Windows Defender will be detected.
π¨ Audio redirection disabled during remote assistance. To protect user privacy, default audio redirection during remote assistance sessions has been disabled, preventing the operator from hearing conversations if the user is on a video call.
π¨ Second queue in Service Bus. A second queue has been introduced to prioritize operation responses over consumption reports. This ensures exceptional performance by assigning a dedicated queue to operations while maintaining the current queues dedicated to receiving reports from agents.
π¨ Integration with CrowdStrike. Portal's integration with CrowdStrike allows for the automation of security actions and improves response times, visibility, and protection in case of a potential vulnerability on devices.
π¨ Antivirus exclusions. Exclusions have been set in more restrictive environments to ensure a good user experience.
π¨ Centralized distribution of FlexxAgent on Chrome and Android. Deploying FlexxAgent on devices with these operating systems no longer requires the APK application format. It can now be installed from Google Play.
π¨ Collapsible menu. The option to collapse the Portal side menu has been added. Now users can pin or shrink it according to their preferences, thus optimizing screen space usage and enriching the navigation experience within the platform.
