We are excited to announce that LabStats now supports ChromeOS!

You can now track Chromebook and Chromebox usage – just like you do with Windows and macOS devices today.

This means you can:

• Monitor usage activity on ChromeOS devices
• See how & where ChromeOS devices are being used
• Track usage trends across all operating systems in one place

Use your data to:

• Focus on complete visibility across all platforms (Windows, Mac, and ChromeOS) to unify IT oversight and usage
• Lean into efficiency by controlling costs, utilize and allocate IT assets as effectively as possible, and maximize accessibility
• Extend your current Windows and Mac infrastructure monitoring to leverage Chromebooks as thin clientsReduce application sprawl and unused device costs, including ChomeOS devices without switching tools

It’s everything you already value about LabStats – extended to ChromeOS.

Current customers automatically have access to 20 FREE ChromeOS licenses through the end of established contract terms. Set it up in minutes with our lightweight Chrome extension and start making smarter decisions with full-fleet-visibility.

Schedule some time with us, or contact us at support@labstats.com to deploy and try them out!

Enhanced Tracking

The new ‘TrackByHostname’ feature allows for more precise identification of computers in virtual desktop environments, often referred to as desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).

Ideal for Dynamic and Instant Clone Environments

Effectively track cloud-hosted virtual desktops in dynamic pools and instant clone setups using their unique hostnames.

Simplified Tracking in Complex Setups

Easily identify and manage different types of devices in intricate IT environments.

Tracking for Mixed Physical and Virtual Environments

The new LabStats default algorithm tracks computers using their UUID and serial numbers, which is not always ideal for cloud based virtual machines/desktops. The new ‘TrackByHostname’ feature enables hostname tracking on virtual computers not compatible with the default tracking methodology.

What’s New – Metadata API

• A Metadata API endpoint has been added to api.labstats.com

Metadata attributes are collected automatically for every computer including

• Form factor, hostname, IPv4, and MAC addresses
• Graphics card description, manufacturer and model
• Hard drive capacity and availability, and physical memory
• Manufacturer and model
• Operating system, description, and version
• Processor description, manufacturer and model

IT Asset Management Benefits

• Streamlined asset management, security, maintenance, compliance reporting, and support
• Optimized upgrade planning
• Finding computers with compromised components and out-of-date OS versions
• Identifying Windows 11 compatible processors
• Quickly building metadata tag imports for usage reporting

• 20x more report data capacity
• 2x to 20x faster report processing
• These improvements have facilitated the following significant updates:
  • Allowable report run time has increased 10x from 3 minutes (a typical browser limitation) to 30 minutes.
  • With the expanded allowable run time, if a report needs more than 3 minutes to generate, successful report results will be emailed as an excel file.
  • Report date range restrictions have been eliminated
    • You can pull all of your historical data into one report if you desire.
    • There are still restrictions based on interval, as some reports would become illegible and others would show no visible difference.

• Accessing the portal is easier and faster.
• A “Sign In” link is now present in the top ribbon of labstats.com and support.labstats.com (see graphic below), allowing cloud customers to log in to any instance, in any region, using a standard email + password sign in or single sign on (SSO).
• This new sign in option doesn’t replace the existing regional login pages, it adds a convenient alternative entry point.
