We’re pleased to let you know that we have released an update to Automation Manager, the drag-n-drop script building tool that lets you create powerful custom scripts for checks and automated tasks – without the need to be a wizard at writing complex scripts!

In addition, the release contains a couple of Web Protection improvements and other customer bug fixes – please see below for details.

Automation Manager v2.10

The new version, Automation Manager v2.10, contains a set of improvements and bug fixes to help you create even more accurate custom checks and automated tasks. To take advantage, please update your version of the Automation Manager app by going to Settings > Script Manager, then click the Automation Manager download link. Simply install the app on your machine to start using the latest build.

Here’s a quick walk-through of how to get set up:

1. Go to the ‘Settings’ dropdown menu, then select ‘Script Manager’.

2. Click ‘Automation Manager’ in the top right of the dialog to download the new version

3. Open up the new Automation Manager to start building a new script. You can also edit existing scripts you previously created in the old version of Automation Manager.

4. Once you’ve created or edited a script, save it to your local computer. Then in the Script Manager dialog, click ‘New’ or ‘Edit’ to upload or update the script.

6. Once you’ve added it to your Dashboard, you can apply it to devices as a Script Check or Automated Task using the standard Add Check and Task options.

Of course, existing custom scripts created with the previous version of Automation Manager will continue to run without any issue. However, if any of them use any of the objects mentioned below, you may wish to open them in the new Automation Manager app, save them, then re-upload to RMM so that those custom scripts also incorporate the latest updates.
