Changelog

v0.18.1

• #1814 Improved the MeshCentral sync feature by addressing specific edge cases that were causing issues for some users. Please read through the new updated documentation on this feature.

v0.18.0

• Added #182 MeshCentral permissions now sync with TRMM. IMPORTANT Please watch the video to fully understand the changes (sound on). Please read through the new updated documentation on this feature.
• The agent now supports running Deno (Javascript/Typescript) and Nushell scripts, enhancing cross-platform scripting capabilities. For instructions, refer to the Deno and Nushell documentation. Requires agent v2.7.0. Thanks to @NiceGuyIT for the implementation.
• Added a Shutdown option to the agent's context menu for easier remote power management. Requires agent v2.7.0. Thanks to @conlan0 for the implementation.
• Fixed #1789 Cleanup orphaned check history results from the database for deleted agents.
• Fixed #1803 Fixed the "Show Offline for over 30 days" filter in the agent table which was not functioning properly.
• The built-in script variables now allow access to int, float and JSON database fields so you can now access fields like {{client.id}}, {{agent.boot_time}} and {{agent.wmi_detail}}. Refer to the documentation for more info.
• Resolved an issue where updating on Debian could disrupt Node/NPM packages, leading to MeshCentral update failures.
• Updated the install script to include an optional --use-own-cert flag for users preferring to use their own SSL certificate. It prompts for the full path to the certificate's fullchain and private key.
• Implemented a data size limit of 10MB for endpoints returning command/script output from agents, aimed at preventing performance issues caused by excessive data from runaway scripts. This limit is adjustable via the TRMM_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE variable in local_settings.py, with the option to set custom limits (e.g., 20MB limit can be set with TRMM_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE = 20 * 2**20).
• Updated several model primary key fields to use bigint to avoid reaching the maximum limit of int. Note: During update, these migrations might take a very long time to complete. Please be patient and allow the process to finish.
• Chocolatey - Install, Uninstall, List and Upgrade Software community script updated. If you use in an automation policy with parameters you should manually update your cloned script. Update significantly reduces returned log lengths (that can be very long for big downloads).
• MeshCentral updated to v1.1.21
• Python updated to 3.11.8
• Various dependency updates.

This release introduces support for new operating systems and the aarch64 (arm64) architecture and includes significant upgrades to various dependencies. Please note, in-place OS upgrades are not supported. Attempting to do so will disrupt the functionality of your system.

The approved method for upgrading to a new OS and dependencies is by utilizing our backup and restore scripts. This has been designed to be a seamless process, resulting in minimal downtime of just a few seconds!

We strongly recommend performing a backup/restore during this update to fully benefit from the newly updated dependencies, particularly if you are still on Debian 10 or Ubuntu 20.04. Please remember that the backup script does not automatically update itself. This release includes a significant change to the backup script that is necessary for the mongo to postgresql conversion during a restore, so it's crucial that you download the latest version before attempting to initiate a backup.

We have successfully facilitated numerous backup/restore operations over the years. If you need additional assistance or if the process feels daunting, don't hesitate to reach out to our commercial support. We're here to help!

Please note that our backup/restore functionality supports transition not only between different operating systems but also between architectures! For instance, you can back up an Ubuntu 20.04 system on an x86 architecture and restore it to an Oracle Cloud Free Tier ARM architecture running Debian 12.

Please note that these upgrades are entirely optional. Existing installations will continue to operate normally and are still fully supported. If you don't wish to backup/restore to a new OS/arch then you can treat this update like any other standard update and just run the update script as usual.

We're also thrilled to announce that our Reporting feature has entered the feature freeze phase and is currently undergoing final testing. If all tests are successful, you can anticipate its release within this month!

Changelog
