Modified on Wed, 10 May 2023 at 01:50 PM

five(9)s Console was released on Feb 5th, 2021.

Version 4.4 is a full release. We fixed several problems and added a lot of enhancements.

What's new?

New notification center

This feature changes the information handling within the five(9)s Console. Notifications about triggered processes like OSD, SWD and Patch are now persistent in this side panel and cannot be overseen anymore.

Download Statistic last 30 days

Quick Inventory of a managed device is now including download statistics for the last 30 days.

With this feature you can easily check if a device is using preferred server, peer-to-peer or source download to get its data for patchmanagement or software distribution.

PowerShell Remote Code Execution

Extend the functionality of the five(9)s console with the ability to execute PowerShell code on a managed device without remote controlling it. Simply enter your commands and get the clients response to it. Save your favorite code in a library to have quick access to it.

Advanced Patch (additional license needed)

Advanced Patch helps to simplify the process of updating operating systems and applications. With a seemless integration in the five(9)s Console it offers a role-based management for zero-touch patch deployments, definable patch steps (pilot groups), optional approvals and intuitive exclusion rules for different device groups. All changes to teams, groups or exclusion rules are documented to offer transparency to the whole process.

Top features:

Zero-Touch Patchmanagement
Definition of Pilot-Groups via Custom Inventory
Patch-Exclusion-Rules for different device groups
Patchmanagement Dashboard to visualize active patch deployments
Role-based management to delegate responsibilities
Approvals for Patch-Deployments

Other improvements

Product Feedback

We simplified the way you can give us product feedback or request new features. Its just a click away!

Maintenance Window in Quick Inventory

When devices have to be outside a maintenance window or in a special state to receive patches and software, this information is now displayed in Quick Inventory.

"Ignore Maintenance Windows" for Console Tasks

If maintenance windows are set for managed devices in your agent configurations, it is now possible to ignore them by task.

Missing patches detection date and replaced flag

We have added the detection time information to the Missing Patches view to provide an indication of when a device has detected an open vulnerability. In addition, we have added the Replaced information.

Custom Inventory preselection

If you provide a list of choices, you can configure if a special choice is preselected, or if the user need to actively pick a list entry.

Cancel running tasks for deleted devices

When you delete a device from the database via five(9)s Console, all active or pending OSD and scheduled OSD tasks for this device will be canceled.

... and much more!
