Feedback on the new web portal

We modified this alert by going to the ** /opt/canonical/landscape/canonical/landscape/model/computer/alerts.py** and changing this values:

@ivar ping_check_interval: Minutes elapsed since the last ping time to
    consider a L{Computer} offline.
@ivar exchange_check_interval: Minutes elapsed since the last exchange
    time to consider a L{Computer} offline.
 
ping_check_interval = 23040
exchange_check_interval = 23040

Perhaps its not the most elegant solution, and you cant really target specific devices with different values, but its a start.

The same happens on our dashboard, is there any way to resolve this or are we waiting for the patch?

It would be great if scripts could be organized into folders.

The ability to run scripts on a schedule would be fantastic.

Another thing that would be great is the ability to have multiple search criteria on the “Instances” page. ex. Online and has Package Updates. I do not see a current way to do so.

The list of installed snaps for an instance does not reflect what ‘snap list’ shows:

  • some removed snaps are shown
  • some installed snaps are not shown

The changes were done more than a week ago.

Couple things:

Click on column headers to sort.
Being able to query all of part of the value of a line such as ‘20.04.6’ under OS Version.

^ This should be throughout the entire interface wherever headers are present!

The “task view” for activities would be greatly improved if you could resize it rather than having to scroll to the right at the bottom to see all of the text output.

It would also be awesome if there were a way to pull files back to the server. Cool that you can copy files to the endpoint, but rather than having to review the output of a script in the “task view” on the activities page, pulling a log back for review would be more powerful.

Just like seat belts and AM radio.

On the new portal we lost the ability to:

1 - search by name when running an existing script, you have to scroll and if you have lots of scripts like I do is a pain to find the one.

2 - upload a file to be used on the runtime. Example I had a script to renew a license file that I would upload every time i needed to update the license.
here is how it looks on the old portal

About the new portal I like it but still not a replacement for the old.

Am I wrong or admins only can assign snaps to a single computer?

No tags, profiles or any computer groups?

From the “Instances” page, you cannot select multiple devices and run a script against them.

No computer(s) matching the query ‘id:37 id:69’ and authorised for this operation.

When an instance is selected, it would be nice to have an “Upgrade” button rather than having to select “packages” then sort by updates and then choosing Upgrade.

I appreciate the new UI, its definitely a huge improvement, especially having the menus on the left. I do wish the systems list had hostname or tags as possible columns.

It would be nice to be able to see “Tags” as a column on the instances page - or at least be able to toggle it on and off.

I liked how the old portal previews your stored scripts before sending them. Maybe that doesn’t need to be the case for ever script ran, but an “edit before sending” option would be nice for occasions where certatiny or customization is needed.

I have two companies assigned to my account. When I click on the “New Web Portal” link, it brings me to a different company from the one I am currently viewing. If I then try to change to the other company, I get an error, “API credentials missing. Please generate your API credentials.” and am brought to a login page.

There seems to be no way for me to view the other company in the new web portal.

Been using Landscape for about a year. Got to move over to 25.04, which has some great UI updates.

We need a CVE Reporting Tool in Landscape. As a network admin, I respond to Cyber’s direction regarding to CVE’s, while they use Landscape to track CVE applicability within our environment. Have seen the "sudo pro fix CVE-YYYY-XXXX tool, but this does not have a dashboard or reporting functionality in the UI.

I do see the security profile option but am unsure how to get it customized. I can pick a security profile to audit against, but this doesn’t allow me to search certain CVE’s or see what machines might be affected by a recent vuln.

On the main page - Landscape lists all of our instances offline, with the last ping time of today, less than 1 minute ago.

On the duplicates page - there’s not an action to delete machines.

Looking at USNs - shows total instances affected but when I click on the number, it brings up every single instance - unable to post more screenshots.
