Updates are now available across Assets and Device Workflows. These improve visibility into device state, expand the asset data available for tagging and automation, and streamline common navigation and reboot actions. Details are outlined below. 

‘Reboot required’ status now available for Linux 

The ‘Reboot required’ asset status is now available for Linux devices in the Assets View. This brings Linux in line with other platforms and makes it easier to identify devices that need a restart to complete updates or configuration changes. 

The following Linux distributions are supported: 

• Debian 11 and 12 
• Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04 (LTS) 
• RHEL / CentOS 7, 8, and 9, and AlmaLinux 9 
• openSUSE 15 
• Amazon Linux 2 

To learn more about how this status is calculated and how it can be used operationally, see our earlier post: https://status.n-able.com/2026/03/10/new-reboot-required-and-system-shutdown-activities-for-n-central-n-sight/ 

More asset data available for dynamic tags 

Make dynamic tags more actionable with security and reboot signals. When creating dynamic tags, you can now filter on additional asset data. The following data points are now supported: 

• Secure Boot status 
• BitLocker status 
• OS feature release 
• Reboot required 

To create and manage tags, go to Tag Management in the left‑hand navigation. 

Usability improvements 

Asset Details navigation now is smoother, the slide-out panel shows more at-a-glance context, and status changes are easier to read.  

• The Asset Details panel shows more key information at a glance, including: Last reboot time, customer and site information, operating system, and assigned tags.

Before:

After:

Click a row in the Assets View to bring up the slide-out panel with all the device specific info.  

• The Device status and Status change time columns now appear next to each other, making it easier to see when a device transitioned between online and offline states. 

Updated reboot workflow for N‑sight 

For N‑sight users, a new deeplink makes it easier to move from a device in the north pane directly to the Ecoverse reboot options in the Assets View. 

This allows technicians to use the newer, end‑user‑friendly reboot controls, including snooze, cancel, and custom messaging for Windows and macOS devices.
