Highlights

This release brings OS Patch Management directly into octoja: schedule install windows per device group, choose which update categories run, keep an eye on reboots, and see withdrawn updates broken out separately. Alongside that, a long list of smaller-but-tangible improvements — kick off agent updates straight from a device's detail page, give every device a freeform alias, paste your clipboard into a remote-desktop session in one click, get a much richer hardware inventory, and pick up built-in checks for Cove Backup, MailStore SPE and a range of hardware firewall appliances.

New

• OS Patch Management — octoja can now install Windows updates on your managed devices. Schedule a maintenance window per device group (time-zone aware), pick which update categories should run, and let octoja take it from there — reboot detection, a dedicated patch-cycle view, and a separate status for withdrawn updates are all built in. Reboots are written to the asset log so you can see exactly when a device last cycled.

  

• Trigger agent updates from a device's detail page — When a device is running an older agent than the current build, octoja now shows an alert and an **Update now** button at the top of the device detail page. Clicking it kicks off the update immediately instead of waiting for the agent's next scheduled check.

• Device alias — You can now give devices an alias. The command palette then matches the device on either the hostname or the alias.

  

• Paste button in remote desktop — Remote desktop sessions now have a **Paste** button that types the contents of your clipboard into the remote machine — handy when the remote side doesn't accept normal paste shortcuts.

• Cove Backup check — New built-in check that reads the status of your Cove Backup jobs (formerly N-able Backup) directly from the Cove API and surfaces it as a check result in octoja.

• MailStore SPE check — New built-in check for MailStore Service Provider Edition, monitoring the health of your mail archives.

• Multi-vendor firewall appliance check — New built-in check for hardware firewalls across multiple vendors — octoja pulls health and configuration status via each vendor's API.

Improved

• Live uptime on the device detail page — A live-updating uptime badge now sits next to the boot time, so you can see at a glance how long a device has been running.

• Battery health in the Power Status check — The built-in Power Status check now reports battery health alongside remaining capacity and cycle count, so you can spot aging batteries earlier.

• Richer hardware inventory — Hardware inventory now includes L2 cache size, every physical drive, full network adapter details, and the start-type of each Windows service. Volumes are mapped to their physical disks, and duplicate network adapter entries are merged so the list stays readable.

• Local users with login and password dates — Local users in the System tab now show their last login and last password-change date — plus whether the device is joined to a domain, Azure AD, or just a workgroup.

• Feedback launcher moved — The feedback launcher in the bottom-right has shifted slightly so it no longer covers floating action controls.

Fixed

• Custom check reliability — Several fixes around custom checks: edits to a check are pushed to affected agents immediately, the check result is now cleanly isolated from anything the script writes to stdout, the live-test panel surfaces unparseable output instead of hiding it, and checks still report a result when the script exits early.

• Time entries keep their comment — Time entries shorter than 30 seconds used to lose their comment when stopped. Comments are now saved regardless of session length.

• Case-insensitive dashboard sort — Customers and sites on the dashboard now sort alphabetically without splitting lower-case entries below the upper-case ones.
