Important Security Updates

New Features

Info Center

• With this release, the early preview version of Info Center 2.0 will be available for participants of the Info Center Preview program
  • Users can preview datasets in a viewer and export data to CSV format for further manipulation in an external program, like MS Excel. 
  • Users can create blank or template-based pixel-perfect reports in a brand-new report designer.
  • Users can create a schedule to generate PDF reports with selected recurrency.  
  • 8 templates of popular reports out-of-the-box. 

Software Management  

• In this release, we have introduced an automatic patch rule where each action (Approve, Reject, Suppress) on a given patch on the Patch approval pages creates a rule to automatically perform the same action for all newly discovered instances of a given patch via scan procedure. Patch Approval page now incorporates 4 tabs:
  • • Pending Review — the list of patches to review. 
    • Approved — the list of patches with an automatic rule set to «Approve». 
    • Rejected — the list of patches with an automatic rule set to «Reject».  
    • Suppressed —  the list of patches with an automatic rule set to «Suppress»

We have added a tool to migrate the 3rd-Party Software 1.0 Profile to a newer version. To open the dialog, click on the «Migrate 3rd-Party Software Profiles» on the Configuration → Settings → Migration tab.
Using the migration dialog, you can select old profiles you would like to migrate. Check Enable auto-update to automatically approve new software versions. Check Reassign machines to automatically reassign machines to the migrated profile.
Please review the list of migrated applications. In some circumstances, VSA can skip the transfer of a particular application version. Open the Application Logging page for details. In that case, you must manually add missing application versions.

IP Whitelisting for Personal Access Tokens 

• To enhance API access security, we have added a new IP whitelisting capability to Personal Access Tokens for VSA administrators, to allow authentication only from specified IP addresses or networks. 
  
  
  
  
  • Each row must contain a single IPv4 address or subnet using valid CIDR notation. Examples are displayed in the UI.
  • On saving the token with one or more whitelist entries, API will accept requests using that token from specified IP addresses and networks only. Any attempt to authenticate with the token from other networks will be refused with a standard “authentication failed” response.
  • If the whitelist is empty, authentication will be accepted from any network that provides access to the VSA web interface. 
    

Enhancements

Agent Application Branding

• We have removed Kaseya icon branding in various VSA agent files. 

Info Center

• Moved Info Centre preview module to Info Centre Preview navigation.
  
  
  
  

Rest API

• In this release, we are continuing to enhance and expand the capability of the VSA REST API.

  • Added new API routes to get information about Agent profiles and notes. 
    
    • Generic API to get all agent information.
      

      GET /assetmgmt/agent/{agentId}/settings/userprofile

    • To get information about a particular agent. 
      

      GET /assetmgmt/agent/settings/userprofiles

  • Added a new API - /api/v1.5/discovery/networks- to get information about networks configured in Discovery > Networks > By Network.

Software Management

• In this release, we have created a new column on the Machines page that displays the applied overrides for a given machine, and we can filter those machines from the column.
  
  
  
  
• In this release “Kaseya 1.0” OS Update Engine became deprecated. It is recommended to migrate to the “Kaseya 2.0” OS Update Engine.
