Release notes - 3.4.0

Key objectives

We added the notification center in this version, this feature will allow users to be better informed about what actions are needed in order to improve their overall system health.

Improving the overall performance of Nanitor is a big concern for us moving forward especially in regards to our bigger clients, numerous performance improvements were implemented in this version.

User experience also got some attention this version with a lot of smaller changes and fixes being implemented to improve the UX of the interface.

New Features

NAN-2229: Notification Center

Related tickets: NAN-2230, NAN-2232, NAN-2233, NAN-2260, NAN-2262, NAN-2556, NAN-2616

A new notification center has been added to Nanitor, this feature shows the user a list of notifications that require some action from the user, for example that some devices are without a benchmark or a label.

To access this feature a new button was added to the navigation bar next to the logged on users name and settings button. This button will include an orange dot and have a ringing animation if the user has some unread notifications, a notification is considered unread until the user clicks on the Details button of the notification.

Open

Clicking on this button triggers the notification center to be displayed.

Open

To start with there are four types of notification that can be displayed in the notification center:

• Devices with outdated agents

• Devices without benchmarks

• Devices without an applied label

• No active projects

Each of the notifications include a title and description that summarises what the notification is about, there are also two buttons at the bottom - Ignore and Details.

Clicking on the Details button for a notification opens up a detailed view for it with more detailed text, it also displays an action button at the bottom (if the notification requires it).

Clicking on the Ignore button ignores the notification, it will not show up in the list of active notification once it has been ignored. The user will be able to see all the ignored notifications in a separate list at the bottom of the notification center, this list is always collapsed by default.

Clicking on Restore essentially un-ignores the notification, placing it back in the active notifications list.

After the issues causing a notification have been amended the notifications are automatically resolved and disappear from the list.

NAN-2444: Azure MDM management detection for Windows

Nanitor will now display a new line in the device info tooltip for Windows devices that are managed by some MDM. This is accompanied with a new benchmark for Windows 10 devices managed by Intune (Azure).

Currently this is only supported for Windows devices, there are 5 possible values this field can display:

• Azure AD

  • Azure AD managed device

• Domain

  • Domain joined device

• Hybrid

  • Both Azure AD and Domain joined device

• On-prem DRS

  • Device joined to some on premises device registration service

• Independent

  • Independent device not joined to any MDM.

In cases where this data cannot be populated on a Windows device this field will not display in the tooltip.

NAN-2489: Forensics tab added to misconfiguration issues

A new tab, Forensics, has been added to the details page of misconfiguration issues. Forensics are part of issues and their role is to help the user understand what evidence was collected and caused the issue violation.
