Request for Robust Agent Self-Upgrade Mechanism
I’d like to highlight a critical pain point with Atera agent upgrades and propose a more sustainable solution.
Current Problems
When upgrading agents via:MSI installation or CURL command, the process often: Removes the old agent but fails to install the new version (leaving devices unmanaged).
Triggers Error 2753 (corrupted installer state) or GPO conflicts.
Workarounds (e.g., manual PowerShell cleanup + reinstall) are not scalable and violate IT best practices.
No atomic upgrade process: Removal and installation are not transactional. Dependency on GPO/MSI: Prone to permissions/cleanup issues (e.g., residual registry keys).
No built-in rollback: Failures leave devices in a broken…

Revert Agent Name back to Device Name
The Agent Name already grabs the Device Name of the PC automatically unless you manually edit the Agent Name once. Once you do that, it will never revert to the Device Name. Please allow Atera to have the Agent Name pulled from the PC Device Name again after the Agent Name has been edited. The workaround is to uninstall/reinstall Atera but that is not practical.

Network traffic monitor
I would like to request a web access monitoring feature at stations. My idea is that the websites accessed at each device are recorded for future consultation or possible audits.

Atera Agent should have a capability to auto-kill itself and auto-respawn itself once it reaches 900 MB or 1 GB RAM usage
We are a global-wide company with many users from many country. We did the right configuration on every firewall following the guidelines.
The thing is that users can use any internet at any wifi hotspots, we cannot control all routers in the world. How can Atera Agent do the self-restart when there is a connectivity problem, instead of eating full memory of the device.That is the Feature Request we would like to submit.

Apple silicon native AteraAgent
Seeing as how Apple has transitioned their entire computer product line away from Intel CPUs to their own "silicon-on-chip" M-series CPUs between late 2020 and mid 2023 and that many vendors (Microsoft, Google, Splashtop, TeamViewer, Sentinel One) have released "Apple native" binaries for their agents and frameworks, isn't it time for Atera to follow suit and stop relying on Apple's legacy binary support through Rosetta?

Export all BitLocker keys via the API
In light of the CrowdStrike issues late last week, I feel that it's critical that we be able to export all of the BitLocker keys via the API.
It's not a workable solution to have to open each agent and unhide the key to copy it into a spreadsheet.
The BitLocker keys should be available via the Agents "GET" command.

Include "Form Factor" in Agent Details and Reports.
I would like to see the "form factor" of the agent devices in the display and reports. When budgeting, we need to determine laptops vs desktops and currently need to discern what's what with a combination of excel formulas and manual entry. Having this readily available (without custom scripts) would be appreciated.
Backend would ideally run (one-time):
$ChassisType = (Get-CimInstance Win32_SystemEnclosure).ChassisTypes[0]
switch ($ChassisType) {
3 {"Desktop"}
4 {"Low Profile Desktop"}
6 {"Mini Tower"}
7 {"Tower"}
8 {"Portable"}
9 {"Laptop"}
10 {"Notebook"}
11 {"Handheld"}
12 {"Docking Station"}
14 {"All in One"}
23 {"Space-saving"}
30 {"Tablet"}
31 {"Convertible"}
32 {"Detachable"}
default {"Unknown"}…3 votes -

Built-In Virtual Display Adapter/Driver - all remote tool capable
I am finding a need for a built in virtual display adapter/driver with the Atera agent that can be utilized by any remote tool for headless machines or machines with their monitors turned off.
This would be especially helpful in many scenarios and avoid on site support or alterations to enable remote capabilities.

Alert when agent uninstalled
Receive a ticket when an agent is uninstalled - as the agent does not have a password to uninstall, it would be good to know if the agent is accidentally removed by someone, deliberate or accidentally.
If the password feature is under development, an option to receive an alert upon commencement of removal would be tremendous!

For the "Atera Agent uninstall prevention" add an "Uninstallation Code" to Prevent Local Admins from Removing Agent
For the "Atera Agent uninstall prevention" please consider adding an "Uninstallation Code" to Prevent Local Admins from Removing the Atera Agent. This is done for many Agents in other products (Like KACE or Carbon Black agents, for example) to prevent Local Admins from removing these reporting Agents without IT Approval. Please heavily consider this as some environments have Local Admins.

Need a better way to uninstall Atera agent remotely
When preventing Atera agent uninstall, support informed me that running powershell command to uninstall Atera agent is the only option. Pushing the uninstallation from the console should be enabled

Default Monitoring Agent
Let us set a default monitoring agent instead of making me scroll through all 1000 devices to find the one I need. Or here is an idea let me set it to only show servers on that list.

Export easily Antivirus informations
Hello, is it possible to create a report about this or add this information in the API?
Today I want to check if BitDefender is installed on each agent and when I created a report with Atera, I got the list of computers with Bitdefender and saw that 150 agents are missing, but they don't have any other software. So I need to check which computers don't have BitDefender...
A report that exports every computer with the main antivirus would be useful or any other way to do it!
It would be nice to have this information via the API.…

Detailed Metrics for last hour or last 4 hours
We now have access to Metrics "Last 24 hours", "Last week" and "Last month".
But now i have customer, says it has issues for the last hour.
I cannot trace detailed information for the last hour.
It would be beneficial to see detailed information of the last hour/4 hours. That could give more insight to locate an live issue.
Additional.
Information which programs used those resources.Sometimes we receive e-mail that indicated high cpu and which programs where using those resources, so Atera has already something that has access to this information, it is only not viewable in the portal.

Possibility to manual deactivation of agents without deletion
It would be extremely helpful if Atera offered the opportunity to manually deactivate agents without deleting it completely from the system. There are often devices that are retired or temporarily inactive, but the data of which we still need for documentation or reporting purposes. At the moment, however, we only have the option of leaving them in the system, which means that they are still shown in reports and in patch management-which leads to confusion and unnecessary notifications.
Application:
Archiving: Devices that are no longer used actively are to be archived without being completely removed. In this way, historical data…
