LOGINventory Version 8.3.14

Build 13869 (08/18/2021):

  • New New command line parameter for asset inventory and VMware scan: ///Vm.Custom: Setting properties for virtual machines possible during host scan. For example, the ///Vm.Custom.MyProperty MyValue parameter creates a property “MyProperty” with the value “MyValue”.
  • Cross-agent handling of ///Custom parameters improved
  • Linux capture: the Perl module Compress::Zlib and Perl module Digest::MD5 modules are no longer required for acquisition
  • SQL scan: no more abort when reading databases if permissions on a database are missing
  • SNMP scan: correct readout of MAC addresses even with different formatting
  • ESXi / Exchange scan: multiple credentials with the same name and different password are correctly tried
  • Linked Documents: default value changed to “Show linked only”
  • Monitor acquisition improved for docking stations
  • Fixed Exchange online scan bug (not all mailboxes were displayed)

LOGINventory Version 8.3.13

Build 13647 (21.06.2021):

  • New Windows Release ID: Microsoft has decided to discontinue the field “ReleaseId” (e.g. Windows 10 1607, 1809, 2009, …) and instead only fill the new field “DisplayVersion” (e.g. 20H2, 21H1, …). With version 8.3.13 the field “DisplayVersion” is newly introduced, furthermore the values are “converted” in each case, so that existing queries continue to work without problems and can also be filtered to e.g. “ReleaseId < 1809”.
  • SQL server scan with Windows credentials continues even if the account is not authorized on all databases
  • Better “ChassisType” detection of specific NAS
  • Linux scan: Fixed error when detecting “LastInventory.IP”
  • Linux RPM package: Unnecessary dependencies removed (no more warnings during installation)
  • Outlook online capture also possible if outlook.office365.com does not respond to a ping
  • Remote Scanner: better handling of “cancel” commands during scan
  • Database transfer: indexes are created after executing the “Transfer” function
  • SQL database: stored procedure calls improved so that there are less “open transactions” (affects system tasks)
  • Settings: When the “Processed” folder is changed, the DataService is restarted

LOGINventory Version 8.3.12

Build 13480 (11.05.2021):

  • Remote Scanner: Entries in the “File Search” tab disappeared with the update to 8.3.11. This problem has been fixed.
  • SQL Server Acquisition:
    • SQL Server clusters can now be detected
    • Instances with the names “MSSQLServer” are now also detected correctly
    • Specifying known instances via command line is possible, e.g. LOGINfoESX.exe !Server\Instance
  • Acquisition of SWID tags: Works even if the software vendor (wrongly) wrote only the name into the SWID tag
  • No more problems with LOGINventory.config, if an attempt was made to share the data directory as non-administrator
  • Windows XP acquisition works correctly again

LOGINventory Version 8.3.11

Build 13328 (14.04.2021):

  • Important Remote Scanner: Significant performance improvements for setups with many scan definitions / jobs / accounts
  • New VMware scan: Assignment of custom properties to VMware hosts possible via Remote Scanner in the user interface
  • Migration of scan definitions and accounts when moving from version 7 to version 8 works correctly again
  • User roles management: new users for a role are now added to the previous selection and no longer replace the previous selection
  • Mircrosoft365 subscriptions: Names have been updated to reflect Microsoft renaming. Note: The names of already added products in License Management have not been adjusted. If needed, these can be renamed manually.
  • Linked documents: Character limitation for URL length has been removed: Even very long links can now be stored
  • Linux scan:
    • Two-digit core numbers supported
    • Support of Fedora version 33 (use of SSH.Net 2020)
    • Fixing of “sudo not found” errors with e.g. Igel Thin Clients
    • IP v6 addresses at NetworkAdapter are now also read out
  • No more exception when clicking on “Show autofilter row” in the custom properties
  • Reports with local administrators no longer contain all local users, but only members of the “Administrators” group
  • Settings: Improved navigation via tab key
  • LOGINfo.script: When reading out using the “fileversion” command, strings in comma format are converted to dot format
  • Sharing of the data directory via the settings: Permissions are set so that only read/execute permissions are available in the script directory
  • Offline agent wizard: changes are reliably applied by clicking “Update”
  • “Linked documents” widget: option to hide documents always visible

LOGINventory Version 8.3.10

Build 13149 (19.02.2021):

  • Important When scanning or executing LOGINfo.exe, problems occur much more rarely or .dmp files are created less often
  • LOGINfo.script: Variable %Programdata% can be used in if-conditions
  • Scanning of services: exit code 1077 (not run since last reboot) is no longer logged, so that the entries in the change history are omitted
  • Reading stub names: If a VM name with spaces was assigned in the hypervisor, this is shortened in LOGINventory so that only up to the first space is read. This leads to a better mapping between stubs and VM scans.
  • The template “PnP Signed Drivers” is now visible below an asset if corresponding drivers were scanned
  • Exchange Server: Current CUs are detected correctly

LOGINventory Version 8.3.9

Build 13053 (19.01.2021):

  • Improved serial number detection for HP monitors
  • Improvement in mapping between Linux VMs and hosts (UUID swapping)
  • The values “LastUsedInLicMgmt” & “CalculationTime” do not write change entries to the history anymore
  • Remote scanner: jobs can be disabled (without deleting the schedule)
  • Tasks can be disabled (without deleting the schedule)
  • Improvements when scanning a Windows machine that sends a ping response with TTL <> 120..128 (e.g. due to VPN)
  • Inv files created during the scan now also have milliseconds in the file name, so that there are no longer leftover inv.tmp files when scanning the same device several times within the same second

LOGINventory Version 8.3.8

Build 12938 (December 8, 2020):

  • Multitenancy web interface writes the received inv files back into the correct data directories (Note: This did not work correctly with build 12931 only)
  • Linux detection: Percentage data on partition occupancy available

Build 12931 (December 3, 2020):

  • Set custom properties via remote scanner definition: Special characters in names now allowed
  • Set IsVirtual=false for physical machines (previously this was only true for virtual machines)
  • Improved return code, if Digest::MD5 was not found during SSH scan
  • Improvements in using the offline agent in the multitenancy version
  • Restructuring of the logic for saving settings in the multitenancy version
  • Visual Studio 2019 is now also automatically recognized in license management
  • Duplication of folders and the license management node is now possible in license management
  • Last layouts (positions, widths) of the widgets are loaded again on restart

Build 12855 (18.11.2020):

  • The Tasks “Assets younger than 30 days” & “Assets younger than 5 days” send the correct export in the attachment
  • “Create filtered query” works correctly again with Boolean Properties

  • No more documents can be linked to linked documents (prevention of cyclic references)
  • Correct handling when setting “empty” custom properties via the remote scanner
  • VMware scan now supports setting custom properties from the command line
