      @StuartJordan On the topic of the evil "/createLoginToken.ashx?user=(username)&pass=(password)". Good feedback. I do want to allows people to setup MeshCentral on a Raspberry Pi, etc and tinker with it on a local LAN or to help developers get started. However, since I don't want anyone using this in production, in the next release: It will only be allowed if you are using the default un-trusted HTTPS cert. This way, if you start using a Let's Encrypt TLS cert, your own cert or a TLS offloader "createLoginToken" does not work anymore. Hopefully that will keep everyone happy 🙂

        @JaredBusch Thanks. Yes, you can now change groups. By the way, maybe this will help your installer: You can create a text file with the same name as the agent with ".tag" at the end (or instead of .exe on Windows) and put some serial number or short unique id in it. When the device shows up, click on it and your will see "Agent Tag" with the content of the tag file. This is useful if you want to put your own device mapping ID and may help you sort devices.

          One more quick news. I have been working on MongoDB tuning in the last few days. You should be able to connect 10k+ devices easy on a AWS t3.medium instance (Amazon Linux 2, 30$/mo + traffic) without issues. Just published v0.2.8-r with proper MongoDB indexes and query fixes. Handles 1000's of devices now. Still room for improvement, but the previous version where REALLY bad with connection scaling. v0.2.8-r is a lot better at that. Graph below shows MongoDB wasted time for a server with 5000+ agents.

                Agents do no show the new name when the machine is renamed 😞
                ScreenConnect does this.

                  I really wish this would come out of the browser into a separate window with resizable edges. I am very spoiled by ScreenConnect letting me take the session and resize it as big as I want. on my monitor. Without screwing with my browser. I guess pop out to a new browser instance with minimal screen real estate stolen.

                  Roll20.net does this with character sheets.
                  Stuck in browser, but button to pop out.

                  popped out look.

                      @JaredBusch I just published v0.2.8-v with support for batch move of devices between groups. I also did quite a bit more work on database optimization. I will check out the rename/screen things when I get a chance. Not related, but try holding shift when you press the full screen button.

                          I know that I can pop it to a new tab. But that is not what I am talking about.

                                  Agreed. Maybe idosyncratic, but useful... most other pieces of software behave the same way

                                          @scottalanmiller probably should have warned you about him first, lol.
