2024-W28 Release - July 13, 2024

• Auvik Collector for ARM64 architecture. (Open Beta)

  • Auvik is excited to announce that users can now deploy the collector agent on cost effective ARM64 architected devices, such as Raspberry Pi! This will extend the existing deployment options, and provides a cost effective choice for deploying Auvik. We recommend using either Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 5.

  • You can either run it as a:

    • Docker container image:

      We already have an option for X86 docker collector. Same approach of deployment would work for ARM64 devices as well, because collector code will automatically detect the underlying architecture and function accordingly.

      • Note: Use this option if you are looking to run other workloads on the underlying hardware and you want the collector agent to utilize only a subset of resources as docker containers. or, as a

    • Native Debian/Ubuntu package (with scripted install) Similarly we have a scripted install option, same is being extended for ARM64 architecture devices with native Debian/Ubuntu packages.

      • Note: With this option collector agent will ‘take over the entire underlying machine’ and hence no other workloads can be run. This can be a good option too, as you would be dedicating a low cost Raspberry Pi to do one single job as an Auvik Collector, which is critical for whole of Auvik solution to function well.

Improved

• Service Account monitoring has been improved to capture several less common patterns that would previously not have been marked as service accounts. This includes capturing service accounts that include certain keywords (like “admin” and several others) anywhere in the existing email address. (Example: mycustomeradmin@company.com would now be properly marked as a service account).

• Additional data has been added to the SaaS API to support clients and partners who would like more in-depth user metrics for discovered applications, particular those leveraging the API for compliance and Shadow IT related use cases. The applications API has been updated to accept a specific application ID, which willreturn:

  • Account-related data for a particular application

  • Personal/Work identifiers for a particular application

  • Active user counts based on the last 30 days of usage

  • “Last Used” data for each user for each specified application.

• Resolved an issue in which nested tables wouldn’t always expand properly.

• Resolved an issue in which users who were previously merged could reappear.
