Ability to connect to guest when their DNS is not working

RyanG 7 years ago updated by Alain GROSS 2 years ago 12 1 duplicate

I would like to have the ability to make a host connection to a guest even if the guest's DNS is not functioning by way of having them check into my Control server by IP if DNS resolution fails. In CW Automate we have the ability to do this by specifying both a FQDN and an IP for Automate agents to check in with. 


This may only be workable with a self hosted Control server with a static IP so it wouldn't need to be exposed by default. I think this would be something we would need to add to the app.config since it would need to be on the guest side. Another possibility might be for the Control agents to remember and keep checking into the last resolved IP address if the system DNS stops resolving the FQDN.

I noticed report manager has a new feature to directly send the report in a email attachment. It would be cool if you could schedule that on a reoccuring task.

Show private IP and MAC in web info panel

Crosby Loggins 7 years ago updated by lavoietl 5 years ago 26

Although it's obviously possible to obtain this information via the remote console, it would be very helpful if the web portal general info tab included the private IPs and associated MAC addresses of Internet connected interfaces on the remote machine.


The public IP is nice, but private would be more immediately useful in most cases. And most PSAs and RMMs require the MAC and or Serial of remote machines for database sync purposes...


Better yet, give us the ability to customize what info is displayed there through scripting, etc maybe?


Thanks!!

dpuenner 3 years ago updated by Brian Robichaud 7 months ago 49 1 duplicate

Is than an estimated release date for the Mac M1 client?   The current client installs sucessfully, but never registers in the control panel.

Answer

All, I wanted to give an update on this. We have finished scoping out the work required and will soon be scheduling the work. I can't give a firm date on when this will be available yet, but will update when the work is nearing completion.
