Pending Reboot Alert
Create an Alert when a computer has a pending reboot, such as from Windows updates. Often users will postpone reboots for days, which is not good. In the Bitdefender console we can see when reboots are needed for Bitdefender updates, but an alert for general pending reboots would really help.

Thanks to you, Atera is better today than it was yesterday! The feature you requested has been implemented and will be released in the upcoming version!

I do like the "reboot needed" alert on the device view, but when I look at the device list it is a little misleading. It looks like the "reboot needed" means that if the available updates are installed it will need a reboot. It would be great if there was also an alert for a "pending" reboot needed. Meaning that updates have already been installed and the computer needs rebooting.. but is hasn't been allowed to reboot yet. What I see sometimes is that users will postpone reboots after updates have been installed. Often when they do that we get a call that something isn't working right on the computer... that magically fixes itself after we have them reboot. Having an alert that we can add to thresholds to let us know when a computer needs to be rebooted, especially for servers, would really help.

I also notice significant delays in the alert icons presence in the device list view. After a reboot the indicator stays around for a long time. I haven't timed it.. but it's a long time. It needs to be more dynamic.

The pending reboot alert icon is only available in device list view. It should also be available in the device detail page.

Hallo Atera Team, als Nutzer von NinjaOne ist diese Funktion als mögliche alternative sehr Essential und ich würde es begrüßen, wenn eine solche Erweiterung mit rein kommt

It would be great to be able to see which systems are awaiting a restart after patches have been installed. Maybe they could be shown in a different colour in the devices list (or some other easily identifiable solution)

This is a basic feature that should be there. Once updates have completed on workstations or laptops then the user could have a popup that alerts them that a reboot is required. Give them 1 or 2 postpones and then they have to reboot.
It ensures the updates are installed for those that never turn off or reboot there computers so that the next time automation runs the next set of updates will install.

Good idea since especially on server we dont know if windows update are installed and need reboot.
