Backup using SFTP and other appliance manager enhancements with v4.3.5

We have added an option to schedule the device42 backups using SFTP in v4.3.5. Other enhancements to the appliance manager and the app are also discussed below.

For those of you running VM on a server where permissions are a concern, you can now set an optional password for the VM Console.

Usage metrics

Appliance manager now includes a snapshot of the usage metrics for the device42 appliance with load average, disk usage and highest CPU and memory using process.

Dashboard and search

On the dashboard, the search bar will be in focus now. This saves a click because now when you want to search for something, just start typing.
Also, the dashboard will load faster as we have deferred the U calculations until after the page has loaded.

License usage

On the license page(under Tools > License), we have added a table showing license usage.

The update file for v4.3.5 is now available at: /update/
If you haven’t given device42 a spin yet, you can download a 30 day free trial from device42 download page.
