Lansweeper’s 2023 Winter Release: ‘Chouffe’

New year, New Lansweeper Launch. It is time for the Lansweeper 2023 Winter Release: ‘Chouffe.’ As always, the launch brings with it several long-awaited new features. Think about the Marketplace, the first preview of the new Diagrams feature, and general improvements to your Lansweeper experience. Let’s have a look at what this launch has to offer, or check out the ‘Chouffe’ launch Keynote presentation here.

Browse Through Our Integrations in the Marketplace

Over the last couple of years, you may have noticed the ever-growing stock of ready-made integrations. Maybe you are already using some of them to funnel your Lansweeper data into your favorite IT tools. With the new Marketplace, you can do so straight from your Lansweeper console. Browse through the myriad options and quickly select the integrations to help you achieve your IT projects and goals.

Visualize your IT Estate with Diagrams

Lansweeper aims to provide the most accurate and complete overview of your entire IT estate. Sorting through the abundance of data can be challenging, and we want to give you as many tools as possible to spot the information you need quickly. After lists, reports, and dashboard widgets, the new Diagrams feature offers you a whole new way to visualize your IT data. Diagrams show you your assets and their dependencies at a glance and give you a unique insight into your IT estate. This feature is still in preview, so share your feedback to help us build the best possible experience for you.

Personalize Your Lansweeper Experience with Customized Views

Is there too much information on your screen, or is the one thing you need to know to miss from your overview? Time to take matters into your own hands by creating, saving, sharing, and exporting your customized views. Personalize your Lansweeper experience by selecting the fields most relevant to you and ordering them however you see fit to quickly find the data you need without needing reports.

Enhancements

API Enhancements

As always, improvements continue to be made to the Lansweeper API:

• Asset relationships and installation info are now visible when you request asset information.
• Monitor-type assets now show advanced monitor information.
• Access report information directly from the API.
• The Asset Type List alerts you when a new asset with a new asset type is added to your site.

OT Scanner Enhancements

A whole new range of protocols was added to the OT scanner to give you even better insight into your OT estate. Improvements have been made to the rack configuration visualization, and you can now also find your OT data in the report builder.

Lansweeper Cloud Enhancements

The Chouffe launch of course also features several enhancements to the Lansweeper Cloud to continue to improve your overall Lansweeper experience, including:

• The “Ignore” vulnerability capability now allows you to ignore security insights vulnerabilities that are irrelevant to you.
• All export restrictions for views and reports have been lifted. You can now export as many results as many times as you want.
• Custom field management has been improved to provide a smoother experience based on users’ feedback.

Lansweeper Classic Enhancements

As with Cloud, this release also improves upon Lansweeper Classic. The Chouffe launch adds 18,000 new Entries to the SNMP OID lookup list to facilitate accurate device identification. When scanning VMware clusters or hosts, Lansweeper now also extracts VMotion-related properties. To give you easy access to this information, you can find a new report, “VMware: vMotion overview,” in the report library.
