Operational Safeguards: Rule Approval

This next iteration of operational safeguards within the 1E Platform introduces Rule Approval. Rule Approval focuses on visibility and the impact of rule revisions within 1E Endpoint Automation. By having a clear understanding of the impact of change, admins are able to make a well-informed decision on whether they would like to either approve or reject the request. Refer to Rule Approval.

A new role called Guaranteed State Approver has been added to allow admins to approve any revisions made to a rule. Administrators have access to the following capabilities:

• Having awareness that a rule revision has taken place that requires approval.
  

• Visibility of all rule revisions that are categorized as approved vs. pending approval.
  

• Understanding the number of policies associated to a rule.

• Understanding rule revisions details including who created the revision, when was the rule created, name and description of the rule revision, triggers, and check.
  
  

• Visibility of superseded revisions.

• Inability to approve your own changes.

Export from Experience Analytics

We are excited to announce that Experience Analytics now supports exporting data into CSV files. This feature enhancement allows users to easily extract and share filtered data, improving collaboration across teams.

With this update, users can export system data such as performance, stability, and endpoint information for further analysis, whether for IT, security, or management purposes. The export function is designed to be efficient, supporting a CSV format, ensuring seamless integration with data analytic tools.

Updates to the 1E Platform release cadence

As part of our constant focus on delivering continuous value to our customers, we’re happy to announce that future 1E Platform releases will be every four weeks, instead of every eight weeks. This means the next release after 24.11 (releasing in November) will be 24.12 (releasing in December). Refer to 1E Platform release schedule.

New DEX code methods introduced

1. Inventory.EvaluateItem: Signal extended inventory item for evaluation. It is recommended that this is only run on small number of devices at a time.

2. Inventory.GetLocalReplica: Get the local replica table for an extended inventory item if it exists.

3. Inventory.GetReplicationAudit: Get the replication audit table for an extended inventory item if it exists.

4. Inventory.GetReplicationState: Get the extended inventory replication state table if it exists.
