  9. Review Live Connect on Demand activities in the following locations:

Browsing Assets in Live Connect

All agents are automatically considered assets. But it is also possible to create additional non-agent assets using the Discovery module. A new drop-down filter has been added to the Start a new session window of Live Connect to browse assets, not just agents. For any listed asset—agent or non-agent—you can click the asset info icon to view basic information about the asset.

Searching the Agent/Asset Browser

A single search field supports searches for both agents and assets in the Agent/Asset Browser window. Entering a string is matched against the following properties:

You can limit search using the following format:

You can also use the filter Word 80% / HTML 80% icon to select an agent view definition filter.

Custom Extensions

Custom extensions provide Live Connect users with a repository for uploading executables to the VSA. Stored executables can then be downloaded and executed during a remote control session using just a single click. This includes 'non-executables' such as MSI installation files and Powershell scripts.

Procedure

  1. Start a Live Connect session using any agent.
  2. Add a new tab to display the Asset Browser ('Start a new session') window, listing all the machines you are authorized to manage.

    Click the "puzzle piece" icon on the far right of the control bar.
    Word 80% / HTML 80%

  3. Upload executables to the repository. After the upload, the executables display in the Extensions list.
  4. Optionally Execute as RC User. A user must must logged in before this option is clicked to run the executable after it is downloaded to the remote control machine.
  5. Optionally Download executables from the repository to your local machine.
  6. Optionally Delete executables in the repository and remove them from the Extensions list.

Live Connect to SSH Assets

Discovery automatically determines if certain discovered assets are SSH server enabled. If SSH is enabled, Live Connect provides an SSH column on the Assets page you click to start an SSH session on that asset. Since you do not have to install an agent, you can use this feature to work with a non-agent device, such as a router or switcher.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Run a network scan in Discovery.
  2. Start a Live Connect session.
  3. Add a new tab to display the Agent/Asset Browser ('Start a new session') window.
  4. Click Assets to display the list of discovered assets you are authorized to see.
  5. Click any asset with SSH in bold to start a new SSH session.
  6. When prompted, enter the credentials required by the SSH server.

  2. Click the new Recording... button in the control bar to start the recording.

    The recording ends when the KRC session ends.

  3. View the KRC recorded sessions on the Agent > Agents > Screen Recordings page.
  4. Click any of the listed *.webm video recording files to download it.
  5. Run the *.webm file using any Kaseya supported browser.

    Note: You can associate the *.webm file extension with your preferred browser.

Live Connect Mobile (released in 9.4.0.8)

Deploy Agent URLs

New Deploy Agent URL links display on the System > Orgs/Groups/Depts/Staff > Manage page. There is a link for each machine group listed on the Machine Group tab. The General tab displays the link for the organization's default machine group.

  1. You must click a Deploy Agent URL link at least once to create its corresponding agent package on the Agent > Packages > Manage Packages page.
  2. Optionally edit Deploy Agent URL agent packages just as you would any other agent package.
  3. Email a Deploy Agent URL link to the machine users of that organization or machine group to prompt them to install an agent.
  4. When a user clicks the Deploy Agent URL sent to them, a new download page with a modern look displays. This download page is different from the legacy download page shown on the Manage Packages page. You can customize this new download page using a Deploy Header tab on the System > Customize > Site Customization page.

Endpoint Logs

A new Endpoint Logs tab has been added to the Agent > Agents > Agent Logs page. The new tab lists endpoint logs generated by the agent for this machine. Click the link of any log type to display the list of available logs for that agent.

Word 80% / HTML 80%

OAuth Clients

A new System > Server Management > OAuth Client page registers clients to access your specific VSA. Registering an OAuth client ensures a customized app is authorized to provide users with extended access to VSA functionality and user data, without having any knowledge of the user's VSA credentials.

A registered OAuth client delegates a user's initial logon to the VSA. The VSA then returns client-specific tokens back to the app server. The app server uses these tokens to authenticate the client app. Because of OAuth delegation, neither the app server nor the client app ever has access to the VSA user's actual credentials.

After the initial logon. the client app shows the VSA user a customized view of VSA functionality and user data, based on the developer's use of VSA APIs. Typically the client app does not need to re-authenticate unless the client-specific token elapses without being refreshed by repeated use. The default is 60 days.

VSA User Interface Changes

The VSA user interface has been updated. Changes includes:

Integration with BMS/Vorex

Kaseya has greatly improved the method of integration between Kaseya® BMS™/Vorex and the VSA. The new method—called RMM Integration - Kaseya v2—applies to both on premises and VSA SaaS users. As part of integration, three new navigation pages were added to the System module.

When BMS/Vorex integration is activated, the BMS/Vorex cloud-based PSA server creates, manages and resolves tickets for alerts generated in the VSA. Based on your configuration preferences, BMS/Vorex integration can automatically create customer accounts for all corresponding organizations in VSA. It also provides visibility of all assets managed by the VSA.

REST API

The following new REST API resources were added in R9.4:

When displaying a list of machines in a Live Connect session, you can now enter a machine group search string to filter the list, up to a maximum of 100 machine groups.

Live Connect

This fixes an issue where Kaseya Live Connect installers may be detected as corrupt, invalid or signed by an unknown publisher, causing a security risk notification on certain Windows machines.

Live Connect

This fix address an issue that didn't allow users to use Kaseya Live Connect with a VSA that was configured with self-signed or insecure certificates, over HTTPS. Kaseya Live Connect now warns users if the connection cannot be verified to be secure, but allows the users to proceed forward.

Live Connect

Added CPU graph, memory graph, and system event list data to Live Connect for OS X machines.

Live Connect

Running Live Connect on Mac agents hides unsupported menus and options.

Live Connect

Fixed an issue with duplicate endpoint records causing Live Connect to get stuck on the "Start a new session" tab.

Live Connect

Added a page selector to the Live Connect > Asset Summary > Agent Procedure selection screen used to add agent procedures.

Live Connect

Added a 'keep or replace' dialog when uploading a file with the same name but different case--case insensitive--to Live Connect from a Windows machine. OS X machines consider filenames case sensitive, so this dialog does not display.

Live Connect

Updated the agent status icon in Live Connect to not show a user when no user is currently logged into the machine or has been inactive, matching the conventions of the status icons in the VSA web interface.

Live Connect

Fixed an issue running Live Connect in a SaaS server configured with a "-cdn" (akamai) subdomain.

Fixed the display of alarm-clock icons in the Machine Search drop-down list.

Notification Bar

This fix ensures that when alarms are scheduled to be suspended at a future time, the notification bar only generates notifications at that future time and not before then.

Notification Bar

Enabled the access right to hide or show the notification bar, which affects all options on the notification bar. In 9.4, the notification bar background has been set transparent, but still serves as a access rights container for all its member options.

Notification Bar

Fixed the calculations and display of the SQL Memory configuration values in the SQL server notifications dialog.

Reapply Schema

Fixed an issue running reapply schema from the System > Configure page on a remote system.

Remote Control

Remote Control Policy now sets the default user notification type to "Silently take control" and disallows an empty notification type.

Remote Control

When using RDP and K-VNC on Internet Explorer, it would display a warning message saying that 'ActiveX control kaxRemote.dll failed to load' . This was due to the digital signature using SHA-1, which has been deprecated by Microsoft. It is now signed using SHA-256.
