Optimized Network Management with Precision

Enhancing query accuracy and notification filtering, runZero's latest update empowers admins to configure private IP ranges at both account and organization levels.

This significant change improves the precision of queries using 'has_public' and 'has_private' keywords, allows for more accurate Rapid Response notifications, and integrates seamlessly into various product areas, including the Network Bridges report.


Improved ServiceNow Integration Improves Data Accuracy & Details

The latest 1.0.3 version of the ServiceNow Service Graph Connector for runZero brings enhanced data fidelity for network adapters, ensuring more accurate and detailed information. Additionally, it's fully compatible with the Vancouver, Utah, and Tokyo ServiceNow releases, offering seamless integration and improved performance for your IT service management.


Streamlined Asset Management

To provide better visibility into asset merging and correlation behavior, we've introduced additional product context. Now, when you view details for assets with data derived from multiple sources, you'll find a link to the most recent task that identified matching asset data, making it easier to track and manage your assets effectively.
