WatchZit 1.3.0 brings the MaxZit Launcher for WatchZit and PassZit, watches processes and system error messages through the agent, reads printers, UPSs and MikroTik sensors over SNMP, and makes maintenance windows repeat. It includes everything of the 1.2.0 candidate.
Install or update: ready-made VM images for VMware (OVA), Proxmox/KVM (qcow2) and Hyper-V (VHDX), an appliance ISO, or install.sh on Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux — see the README. A running 1.1 or 1.2 console offers the update under Settings → Updates and server.
New since 1.2.0
- MaxZit Launcher: the WatchZit Launcher becomes one program for WatchZit and PassZit. Pair the PassZit extension from its menu and it opens Remote Desktop, SSH, WinSCP, WinBox, VNC and Telnet with the login from the vault (Remote Desktop through a Windows credential that exists for seconds, SSH passwords and keys through files only you can read). It replaces the WatchZit Launcher and passzit-helper and takes over their settings. Download:
maxzit-launcher-1.3.0-windows-amd64.exe. - Agent packages: the Linux agent as deb and rpm (amd64, arm64).
- Watched processes: program names per computer, each with how many run, their CPU and memory; none running opens a problem.
- System error messages: critical and error events of the Windows System and Application logs and errors of the systemd journal go to Logs; log triggers can use them.
- Printers and UPSs over SNMP: toner and ink levels, UPS charge, runtime, load and on-battery state (UPS-MIB and APC cards), with ready triggers for low toner and short UPS runtime; MikroTik temperatures, voltages and fans.
- Recurring maintenance every day, week or month, optionally until a last day.
- No new data trigger: a check that got no new value for some minutes opens a problem.
- Maps: devices that are down only because a device they depend on is down are grey, not red; Arrange lays out a whole map by its cables; things that are not built for a rack get their own height and part of the width, side by side on a shelf.
From the 1.2.0 candidate
- Where devices are plugged in (LLDP, CDP, MAC tables, port descriptions, configurations) and maps that draw themselves; agent self-update; update channel; disk-full forecast; custom fields; links on every device; diagnostics.
Fixed
- The testing update channel pointed to a wrong address.
