The VSA 10.2 release offers many new innovations and integrations to better support your IT operations. This release includes major enhancements in Virtualization Discovery, Topology, and Management, VSA 10 API Token-based access control, and several other improvements.
Release Schedule
EAP- Thursday, May 4, 2023
General Availability - Thursday, May 18, 2023
Key Feature Enhancements
Virtualization Discovery Topology and Management
VSA 10 now includes the ability to configure Hyper-V and VM Ware connectors allowing you to discover, view, and manage hosts and virtual machines.
By connecting directly to the hypervisor, VSA 10 offers a single, consolidated view of your entire
virtual infrastructure across multiple platforms.
You will need to create a new Integrations / Connector for each Hyper-V and VMware hypervisor you
wish to manage.
- Note: For Hyper-V, you must first install an agent directly on the host and then select the same
host as the Hyper-V Connector probe.
Once a Connector has been added, we will expose the hypervisor and its child entities on the Topology
Map and the new Systems / Active Connectors page. You can view version information, status, events,
and other information from these product areas.
If you enroll the hypervisor’s “Host”, you will unlock the management features of both hosts and virtual
machines, such as powering on/off, restarting, suspending, and working with snapshots.
- Note: Enrollment of a host will consume a single device license.
VSA 10 APIs and Token-based Access Control
VSA 10 now includes a set of API Endpoints that are only accessible by using a secure token.
The API documentation and sample data can be found by accessing https://<your_server_URL>/api
Token-based API access allows technicians to grant explicitly controlled, non-user authorization tokens
for a more secure API-only access entity, while also consolidating the management of API access
controls.
There are two methods of API access authorization that can be granted:
- Trusted Applications – This is a simple OAuth-based authorization process to enable VSA 10
integration from an implicitly trusted product – for example, products that are part of Kaseya’s
IT Complete product suite.
Note: Although the Trusted Application infrastructure is now ready, integrated products will
need to work with our team to convert their existing VSA 10 integration and legacy API calls to
the new Token-based APIs.
We will be working with internal product teams over the coming months to coordinate such
changes. Once the changes are in place, there will no longer be a need to hard-code a VSA 10
username and password into the integration configurations for such Trusted Applications. Instead, a simple OAuth process will be initiated from the integrated product and used to establish implicit trust with VSA 10. -
Third-Party Tokens – This allows the creation of a unique API Token that requires explicit trust
configurations for controlling when, what, and from where the Token is authorized for use with
respect to the API.
To increase security, you can define start and expiration dates, whitelist IP addresses for access
restrictions, and control granular access to specific Organizations and individual API endpoints.
You can also revoke an existing token to immediately prohibit further use. By revoking an
existing token, you will have 30 days until it is automatically deleted. To reinstate the token,
simply regenerate the token secret prior to the end of the 30-day period.
Note: Third-party tokens should not be used to establish integration with VSA 10 from other
Kaseya products that currently support integration. Such products use a different VSA 10 API
today and will be changed to use Trusted Application tokens in the future.
