New Features

NAN-1895: Most impactful issues widget

New health dashboard widget added displaying the issues with the most impact on the health score

The widget contains a list of issues and shows how much the issue is impacting the relative health score, for example in the image above the top issue is “#508: Missing mandatory software: Microsoft Edge“ the percent at the beginning of the line is indicating how much that issue is impacting the software health score.

Hovering over the percentage for a given issue reveals how much the issue is impacting the overall organization health score.

NAN-2030: TOTP MFA for local Nanitor accounts

Related tickets: NAN-2101

Time-based one-time password multifactor authentication added for local Nanitor accounts.

Users are able to opt in to 2FA by going to “Settings“ → “Account Settings“ → “Two-Factor Authentication“.

Checking the check box reveals a QR code and a key that the user has to add to his authenticator app (Microsoft authenticator, Google authenticator, LastPass authenticator, etc.).

After the user has enabled 2FA the user will get an additional window when logging in, prompting the user to insert a code from his authenticator app.

Users can disable 2FA under “Settings“ → “Account Settings“ → “Two-factor authentication“ and unchecking the checkbox.

Administrative users are able to disable 2FA for users by going to “Settings“ → “Container Management” → “Users“. Users that have 2FA enabled will have an option in the actions dropdown “DISABLE 2FA“ for disabling it.

NAN-2096: Asset archival policy changes

Related tickets: NAN-2015

Previously all assets got automatically archived after 7 days of inactivity, this has now been changed so that only Desktop and Laptop devices are archived automatically.

Other devices will now require confirmation from a user before being archived.

When a non automatically archivable device has passed the 7 day inactivity threshold it gets a new activity status, “Pending Archival“.

These devices can be filtered out using the “Asset State“ filer from the side filters.

Clicking on the “Pending Archival“ label, going to “Actions” → “CONFIRM ARCHIVAL“ or checking some devices with the status and clicking on the new “Confirm Archival“ button will reveal the confirmation modal.

NAN-1658: New project types

Related tickets: NAN-2137, NAN-2164

Four new project types have been added, these types all have different completion criteria.

  • Asset issue resolution

    • User is required to add some asset label or specify specific assets.

    • Considered complete when all issues for those devices have been resolved.

  • Asset onboarding

    • User is required to specify how many devices have to be added to Nanitor before the project is complete.

    • Optionally the user is able to specify some asset labels, which means the devices will have to have been added to those labels to be counted towards the project completion.

  • Asset health hardening

    • User is required to specify a target health score and either some asset label or specific assets to target for the hardening.

    • Considered complete when all assets added to the project have reached the target health score.

  • Upgrade/decommission assets

    • User is required to specify some asset labels or specific assets for the project.

    • Considered complete when all assets added to the project have either been upgraded to a new operating system or have been decommissioned.
