Hi everyone!
Lansweeper is delighted to announce the availability of its new IT Agent in your Lansweeper Site, now in Preview. Track your hard-to-reach assets using the IT Agent which tracks the details of a single computer running Windows, Linux, or Apple MacOS and sends these directly to your Lansweeper Site.
After a successful installation, the IT Agent(s) will be shown in your Lansweeper Site in Scanning > Discovery systems.
To see the asset data, you can open Inventory > All assets (and you can use the search/advanced filter on the top right to filter on the specific assets/installation where IT Agent is running)

An encryption key from a Lansweeper Network Discovery - Hub component. Either direct access to the hub or a location to store the discovery result file in, for later import. |
It's time for us to let you try and test this new feature. We hope this first version will give you an easy-to-deploy agent-based discovery.
Finally, we're all ears! Your feedback is valuable, and we'd love to hear it.
Feel free to share in the comments or share your logs and screenshots privately to preview@lansweeper.com

Hi @CloudFire
We released a new version 0.15.7 today which you can download here:
https://download.lansweeper.com/stable/windows/it-agent-discovery/latest,
https://download.lansweeper.com/stable/MAC/it-agent-discovery-dmg/latest,
https://download.lansweeper.com/stable/MAC/it-agent-discovery-pkg/latest
These should already resolve most scenarios but our team is still working out on resolving the last ones for which a new patch version will be made available soon.

Hi @Gilian ,
unfortunately even the 0.15.8 (which I believe is the current latest version) has the same rescan issue... Let me know if you have an ETA for a solution.
Thanks!

@Gilian My Windows computer downloaded the 0.15.7 version yesterday lunchtime but following restarts appears to have not updated the running version which is still 0.15.2 - should it have auto-updated in light of the download?
ā03-21-2024 09:26 AM
@Gilian - following up on Tuesday we can report that we're now seeing ITAgents auto-update to 0.15.7 and now hoping that scan dates and scan information will start updating in our cloud site soon.

@eputz thanks for sharing. Meanwhile the team is working on a newer patch version which will contain a fix for the last scenarios where the data isn't being refreshed. Hopefully 0.15.7 does already cover yours and keeps updating the asset data. Otherwise could you let us know and share a log file ("C:\Program Files\Lansweeper IT Agent Discovery\sensor\logs\Lansweeper.IT.Hub.log") of your IT agent to preview@lansweeper.com ?

Hello @Gilian,
Is there a way to "relink" a computer that was removed from the scanning targets? or do I need to do a reinstall and remove the asset from the console??
It happens to me that on my test computer I install/uninstall several times the client... but it was added several times on the scanning targets page, so I delete them, but it didn't appear again after a reinstall... Any idea?
ā02-22-2024 03:44 PM
@avillarreal In Scanning > Discovery sources, you'll see a row for each time you install the client/IT Agent.
If you remove the source, the asset will still remain in your inventory.
During this preview phase, you could remove the asset(s) from your inventory, reinstall the IT Agent client and see a new record in Scanning > Discovery sources and in Inventory > Assets
Once the reconciliation engine is more finalized, these multiple asset records in your inventory will be merged into 1 and you'll see which of the sources brought in the data at what time.
The assets from deleted sources, can be found in your inventory, having the "unlinked" icon in the first columns

The weird thing is that it doesn't appear on the scanning targets... But on the computer (even after I manually delete the assets and check that there wasn't on the scanning agents was marked as if there was another installation there:
Let me know if you need any information about it.

@avillarreal IT Agents are visible in Scanning > Discovery sources, not in scanning targets. The instruction when the scanning should happen is configured in Scanning > Discovery actions
