  1. Looking at the event log, I can see the AteraAgent service restarts every minute or so. This floods the windows event log with useless noise.

    Is it really necessary for the service to restart so frequently when there have been no configuration changes. If there are configuration changes, it should not be necessary for the service to restart. The only time that should be necessary is when the agent image itself has changed (like an upgrade).

  2. The device display shows the "Last Logged User". But this information does not clearly indicate if the user is still logged in. It is often stale or incorrect, especially if more than one user is logged in.

    Ideally, it should show the currently logged in user (the one that's active). And it should show their status (Active, Idle, etc...)

  3. The Ability to filter for agents without a assigned folder or IT-Automation profile. For a quick overview, which customer has new Agents installed or wrong configurations without an active profile.

  4. Have the ability to block certain websites from being loaded or block all but the whitelisted ones from the agent. IE Block Tiktok on corporate PC's.

  5. It would be nice to get alerts (perhaps this could be made a threshold) when a device is offline for a configurable amount of time (hours, days, weeks etc.)
    This would be great to see if there are devices that are customers use infrequently or not at all.

  6. Hi Atera Team,

    Good Day!

    I would like to suggest you for atera agent version upgrade, while installing .msi file or Running CURL command it is removed older atera agent and installing new one most of the time only removed old version not installing new one. So i asked Atera support chat they suggest me to run Powershell command to remove Atera agent completely and run CURL command for new installation. I believe this is not a correct method , please make a new method once i run a CURL command or .MSI file it will upgrade old version to…

  7. I would very much like to setup dependent alerts. In one scenario I might have a WAN device setup as a primary monitor for a site, and all agents (Windows, Mac, TCP, SNMP, HTTP, and Generic) devices that are under that (ie: on the same network) would be dependent on that primary monitor.

    This way, when internet connectivity is lost I don't get flooded with alerts from all monitored devices when they're offline or can't be reached.

  8. Be able to execute and collect the result of a custom script via the agent (similar to zabbix) to monitor and alert about custom parameters in the device

  9. Enable the ability to record Splashtop session. Splashtop already has it but Atera version that employees use, doesn't show the ability to record.

  10. Currently the Atera agent on Windows is configured as a service that has a startup type of "Automatic (Delayed Start)". This means that after a reboot, it can take the agent more than 5min to show up as online in the console.

    I don't know about everyone else, but I like to work quickly and this is a real holdup. There are times that I'll be connected via Splashtop and it will quickly reconnect upon reboot. However, other times Windows may have pending updates to install, in which case Splashtop will disconnect because it times out waiting for the agent…

  11. There have been many instances where I need to reliably reboot a Windows endpoint into Safe Mode with Networking so that I can run scripts and/or remotely connect to it.

    I have a script that will do this now, but it would be excellent if Atera could build this into the agent so it isn't a guessing game. Rebooting into Safe Mode remotely can break my access if something goes wrong, and since 95% of what I do is entirely remote, having a reliable way to do this is really important.

  12. Wake-on-LAN: It’s a brilliant feature that for the most part works really well, however sometimes a local IP doesn’t get reported from the machine to Atera. It’s got one and it’ll be registered with the DHCP server on the network etc, but because it wasn’t reported to Atera, Atera can’t wake it up. I know the device could be woken up, and I then have to use additional tools to wake the device up, so if there was an override of some sort, or the Wake-on-LAN feature used the public IP address to define the network for instance, this would/should…

  13. You currently describe how to install by GPO. However GPO is old school and a lot of people are moving cloud only. How about providing instructions to install with current MDM platforms that people are using like Intune (Microsoft Endpoint Manager), Jumpcloud, JAMF etc.

  14. It would be good to have a section that states what printer is installed on the machine inside the Agent page. This would make it easier when buidling new machines and we can know what printers to install.

  15. When working on large software deployments (no - not the apps in Chocolatey), it would be extremely useful for me to filter devices based on user activity.

    I could filter devices where the user has been idle for >2hrs. This lets me know that those computers are not in use and I can start a long running process on them.

    This would be useful in many situations; like patch management and maintenance processes, in addition to large software deployments.

  16. Show actual state of charge and if the device is connected to the power line if it is a mobile device. Nice to have.

  18. We would like to use the Chat using the agent rather than the chat/messaging used in Splashtop as its very basic. It would be great to be able to use this to engage with the end user before connecting to their device. Where permission can be granted to connect. I feel the chat feature should just be enabled, without the need for the end user to register it or accept the chat, nor need to activate using a token. More customization also, such as the length of time the chat stays open before disconnecting. The ability to disable uploading/adding files…

  20. Display the Disk Active Time as a Percentage under the Metrics panel for Agents. This will help us evaluate if the users are experiencing lag time due to system limitations or stuck processes.
