Sodium Update! New Dashboard!
-
Hi everybody! I'm back! New news in the world of Sodium! We've released a new dashboard that is going to make your life (and ours) much easier! We've also locked down just about all of the login issues and sped things up quite a bit! It's been a massive undertaking today but things are looking good. Please check it out and let us know what you think!
For those of you that don't know us yet, Sodium our product is a FREE rmm software that is very new (only a few weeks into development, not even really a beta yet) with the goal of being much more than an rmm software. We're here to gain insight from the nice IT folk here and make a product that actually works for you guys!

Nice, no new machines in for me, but here is my old ones in the new dash...
-
I like the new dashboard.
I still can't add my current computers to a group. -
@dashrender Would you mind showing me a screenshot of your manage unit groups page?

and now it's there.

@dashrender I'm magic

There's a lot of white space.

For the future, the ability to use more width to see things like the full application name would be nice.

@dashrender There is 15px of free space on the left. As for the middle, that fills up with machines QUICK! Plus it's an interchangable display that is used for other things. For example, for notes:
-
Just a quick note! Server is being restarted as we speak due to a push out.

OK I see what you mean about the 15px, see seen in this additional screenshot, I crushed the side tabs and the gab stayed the same. but there is a rather larger gap on the right side, and the middle area got even wider. I understand why the middle is as large as it is, to show info, but the area on the right doesn't need to be as large as it is, unless something else is planned for that?

@dashrender This is true. It is a bit on the large side, we will be increasing the size of the dash by a little bit in the very near future. There is however plans for use of the rest of that space on the right a little later down the road.

Just installed. I want to see what it can do.

Well right now, it is very much a tech preview, but we are excited about how it is going. Our focus at the moment is getting solid data collection that really lets you see your assets and keep track of them. One step at a time, we have a lot of work to do. But things are coming along and changes are happening daily!

How about some back ground on this project?
What are it's goals?
How is it monetized?
What protections exist so the hoster can't issue commands to our devices? -

I don't know enough about how salt works to answer this, but I would assume there are none.
But this is no different than pretty much any other RMM product. By the nature of where it resides, this can be done. I can do the same from ScreenConnet access sessions, or from the Atera web page with simple powershell command that executes with admin rights.
If this is only supposed to be a monitor and report solution, then the use of slat like this is easy for deploy but super scary from a security point of view.

@JaredBusch is correct, Salt under the hood would be over the top power if the goal was a passive reporting and monitoring tool. But that is not the end game here, the monitoring is just the beginning as we move towards a comprehensive management solution. We are doing monitoring first because it is easier and a broad stroke. We want the technology in use and proven before we go after harder stuff and we want it useful and being used as quickly as possible. So monitoring comes first. Plus it's hard to manage something you can't monitor. Right now we are working on getting deployments and support and all of that working as smoothly as possible. We are anxious to get to the big stuff, though. So many features on our roadmap that really have us excited about where we are going with this. But certainly the end goal is an incredibly powerful management platform that does a lot more than what you are seeing at this point.
