🔨 Improvements

🔶 FlexxAgent Cross-Platform (Windows)​

🎯 New version

FlexxAgent Cross-Platform version 26.01.501.201 for Windows is now available, including hotfixes (patches) for issues detected in version 26.1.501.197.

Resolved Issues:

  • The same application crash can be reported multiple times during the agent lifetime.
  • Printed pages calculation accumulates previous printed pages incorrectly.
  • Closed connections which are retained as TIME_WAIT by Windows with PID 0 are reported as connections with latency from the [system process] but should be discarded.

Applied Fixes:

  • Ensure application crashes are only reported once when they occur.
  • Correct printed pages calculation to avoid accumulating pages from previous prints during agent liifetime.

🔶 Platform​

Highlights​

🖥️ Unified DaaS management from Portal. New centralized administration of virtual environments (machines, desktops, catalogs, delivery groups, sessions, and templates) from a single interface with complete operational control.

🔗 Automation with Webhooks. Real-time integration with external systems using automatic HTTP notifications for platform events.

🤖 AI-driven reports. Instantly generate custom reports from natural language descriptions, no technical knowledge needed.

⚙️ More flexible and precise alert configuration. You can now adjust alert severity and exclude them from the WRI calculation.

🗂️ Enhanced organizational context for devices. New visibility of Workspace Groups directly from the device detail to simplify operational analysis and segmentation.

🧹 Mass device removal. More agile and efficient management in cleanup and maintenance tasks through batch deletion.

Facilitates monitoring of global status, resource optimization, and execution of operational tasks, reducing the complexity of managing this type of infrastructure.

  • Webhooks. Allows platform-generated events to be integrated with external systems through configurable HTTP notifications. Each event can trigger automatic actions in third-party tools, enabling advanced automation scenarios.

  • Create with AI - Reports. Generate custom reports from natural language requests. AI interprets the query, analyzes the data, and returns results in table format with the possibility to:

    • Refine queries through additional requests
    • Export to CSV
    • Save as reusable report
    • Schedule automated runs
    • Send results by email
