How invaluable would it be to have a way to determine all the installed apps on a Mac that Alectrona Patch can update?! Or better yet, how incredibly awesome it would be to know every app on a Mac that actually had an update available in the Patch Catalog! We bet your SecOps team would love to get their hands on that data...
We've overhauled every aspect of Alectrona Patch's logging 馃 including Terminal output, readability, added file log truncation, AND implemented logging to Apple's Unified Logging System! Learn more here!
A few small updates to make Alectrona Patch even better!
This release simply moves the patch command line tool to a new path and leaves a symlink at its original path. This will not impact the functionality of Alectrona Patch in your environment.
Having the control to ensure that third-party app updates on your Mac fleet occur in a timely manner, while still offering a great end-user experience, is what we strive for.
Alectrona Patch 1.2.0 brings you the ability to specify the number of allowed deferrals available to your end-users when important updates are necessary; yet another sought after feature that we are excited to deliver to you!
Check out the video demo below to see how it works and look over our Patch Docs to learn how you can enable this feature today.
We continue to bring innovative features to Alectrona Patch that allow you to both fine tune your patch management program as well as rapidly bring your Macs into compliance!
You can now customize the interval at which the Patch Agent will run installs or updates. By default, the Patch Agent runs every 4 hours. Now, you can set this interval time as low as 10 minutes to ensure applications are updated as quickly as possible. Alternatively, if you want to extend the interval time, you can do that as well. You are in control!
