WatchZit 1.3.3 makes remote collectors work on their own at a remote site, lets every device choose its tools, and tidies the console.
Install or update: VM images (OVA, qcow2, VHDX, ISO) or install.sh — see the README. A running console offers the update under Settings → Updates and server; agents update themselves.
New
- Discovery through a collector: choose a remote collector next to a new range under Devices → Discovery; it scans the network of its site, and the devices you add from it are monitored from it.
- SNMP through a collector: the SNMP discovery on the device page and the reading of facts, interfaces and VLANs of remote devices go through their collector.
- No gaps when a site's internet fails: a collector keeps running its checks while the connection to the console is down and sends what it measured when it is back (up to a day).
- Backup collector: a second collector at the site takes over the devices while the first one is offline.
- Remote collectors on the Agents page: what they are, how to set one up and the list of collectors.
- Tools per device: the device form lists every Open with tool with a tick — a Proxmox or Linux server without Remote Desktop shows only what it has.
- Edit from the map: the device panel on a map has Edit device at the bottom; saving returns to the map. Metrics and the ways to connect are separated by lines.
Improved
- Forms line up: an "optional" note no longer pushes a field down, one-line fields have one height, small buttons next to fields match them.
- The hypervisor hosts and virtual machines share one table with aligned columns.
- Checked on phone and tablet widths; the guide's previous/next buttons wrap on phones.
