Hey all,

New one for the toolbox: the Datto BCDR Magic Dash script. If you’ve ever bounced between the Datto portal and Hudu trying to answer “are this client’s backups actually okay?”, this one’s for you.

The short version

It pulls your Datto BCDR data into Hudu and drops a “Datto BCDR” Magic Dash on each matched company. If you want, it’ll also create a Hudu asset for every protected machine, so the backup details live right alongside the rest of your documentation.

The tile stays green when everything’s healthy and flips to “attention needed” when something’s off, like a paused backup, a machine that’s never backed up, a backup older than your stale threshold (24 hours by default), or an appliance that’s offline or has alerts. Datto doesn’t hand over a simple healthy/unhealthy flag, so the script works that out for you from the device and appliance data.

What else you get on the dash

• Screenshot verification results, so you can see whether recovery points actually booted

• Volume protection status, with the names of any unprotected volumes called out

• Active VM restores, matched to the right device where possible

• Storage totals across local appliances and Datto cloud

• Links back into the Datto portal

Getting it running

Grab the folder, park it somewhere permanent, make sure you’ve got PowerShell 7.2+, and run setup.ps1. It walks you through your Hudu URL and API key, your Datto API keys, a few dashboard preferences, and an optional scheduled sync. A small window pops up to match Datto clients to Hudu companies (exact name matches can be lined up for you automatically), and then it runs your first sync.

After that, run.ps1 is your home base for syncing, tweaking settings, rematching companies, and checking connections.

One tip that’ll save you a headache: when you create your Datto API key, leave the organisation dropdown blank. A key scoped to a single organisation can’t see the partner-wide data the script needs, and it tends to fail in a way that looks like a permissions problem.

A couple of things to know

Direct-to-Cloud machines aren’t on the dashboard yet, but the sync will tell you if you have any so nothing gets quietly skipped. Keys are stored encrypted for your Windows user on that PC, so if you move to another machine, just run setup again there.

Cheers!~

Hey all,

Another one for the collection: the Axcient Magic Dash script. Same idea as the Datto BCDR one, but for those of you running Axcient x360Recover. Your backup status shows up right inside Hudu, no portal-hopping required.

The short version

It pulls your x360Recover data into Hudu and puts an “Axcient X360Recover” Magic Dash on each matched company. Optionally, it’ll also create a Hudu asset for every Axcient device, so backup details sit right next to the rest of your documentation.

Each dash gives you a quick count of healthy, warning, and unknown devices, plus storage usage where Axcient provides it. A device gets flagged when a recovery point for its protection type is missing or older than your stale threshold (24 hours by default, adjustable).

What’s on the dash

• Device lists with protection type, OS and IP, agent version, and health

• How old the latest local and cloud recovery points are

• Usage per device

• Separate server and workstation sections that scroll, so even big clients stay readable

A nice touch on the asset side: devices are named with their Axcient device ID, so if someone renames a machine, the existing asset just updates instead of a duplicate showing up.

Getting it running

Grab the zip, extract it somewhere permanent, make sure you’ve got PowerShell 7.2+, and run setup.ps1. It walks you through your Hudu URL and API key, your Axcient partner API key, a few dashboard preferences, and an optional scheduled sync. A small window pops up to match Axcient clients to Hudu companies (exact name matches can be lined up automatically), then it runs your first sync.

After that, run.ps1 is your go-to for syncing, changing settings, rematching companies, and testing connections.

A couple of things to know

Axcient doesn’t reliably report whether agents are online or offline in the data this tool uses, so those fields say “not provided” rather than guessing. If an Axcient client and a Hudu company look like the same customer but differ by spacing or punctuation, the sync will give you a heads up so you can match them by hand. And since keys are stored encrypted for your Windows user on that PC, moving to a new machine just means running setup again there.

Hudu v2.50.0 is now live. This release includes improvements and bug fixes. Self-hosted environments may update at any time; updates to cloud-hosted environments will begin today.

(Release names are back by popular demand! Hudu was founded in Colorado, so we wanted to share some of our favorite places in the state!)

Improvements

• The Record created/updated/deleted alert now has a 'Processes only' record type. When that (or 'All types of records') is selected, process changes send the webhook. Runs never trigger this alert.

• Added a company filter to the 'Process Completion' table.

• Increased the padding on table rows.

• Changed the 'draft' badge on articles to 'unpublished'.

• The flag selector now displays the flag's color.

• Company logo changes now get recorded in the activity logs.

• Integrations

  • Company name changes in Liongard now update the company name in Hudu.

  • Autotask company sync can now skip selected account classifications (e.g. Lead, Prospect, Vendor).

  • ConnectWise syncs now only pull records that changed since the last sync, making routine syncs much faster.

  • Optimized company matching performance for:

    • BMS

    • Meraki

    • NCentral

• Radar

  • Added zoom controls to the network map.

  • Added an active state for device map icons.

  • Restored the Hudu Radar warranty lookup option on date fields in the asset layout builder.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the email field not being auto-filled on the login page for Chrome and Firefox.

• A company can no longer be assigned as its own parent company.

• Deleting a process with a related asset no longer redirects you to the asset, but instead to the processes table page.

• Editing a password folder from global to a specific company no longer redirects you to the company, but instead to the password folders table.

• Visiting the login page while signed in now redirects to the dashboard, instead of a dysfunctional login page.

• The country selector now displays in alphabetical order.

• Keyboard focus is now clearly visible on filter-panel controls that were hard or impossible to see before.

• Date asset fields no longer default to 1900 when using keyboard navigation.

• Fixed list items so consecutive dollar signs ($$) display correctly instead of collapsing to a single $.

• Fixed list item names containing double quotes disappearing when opening a list for edit.

• Sorting the Racks table by 'Company' now sorts in alphabetical order.

• Fixed company CSV exports omitting assets when multiple asset layouts share the same name.

• Fixed keyboard Tab navigation so closed filter panels no longer trap focus on list pages.

• The Completed Tasks copy text for process runs now formats completed task timestamps using the Default Time Zone instead of UTC

• Improved reliability of the host bridge passphrase modal so it opens consistently after creating a bridge.

• Fixed phantom “updated” activity logs for assets when asset layout fields are added, removed, or reordered without a meaningful user edit. Asset-specific recording normalization now ignores blank layout-created fields, removed layout fields, and order-only changes in list/asset tag data.

• Fixed a bug where assets deleted via the API would not get a recording in the activity logs.

• Blank space now gets stripped for website input.

• Companies whose names start with a symbol now sort under # instead of being mixed into the letter list.

• Added a length validation to password notes to prevent an indexing error.

• Fixed a bug where saving an article without changing content sometimes rewrote its HTML layout or formatting.

• Company links on guest Hudu Bridge pages now open the company dashboard instead of a blank admin page.

• GET /api/v1/cards/lookup (and /cards/jump) now return cards across all company-based integrators that share a slug (e.g. multiple Microsoft 365 setups), instead of only the first match.

• Assets no longer show duplicate fields after being moved between asset layouts (via the API or MCP) and then edited.

• Hudu Assist / Screen Capture screenshots now keep full size in KB articles instead of shrinking to thumbnails when edited or republished.

• Fixed a bug preventing alerts from sending their webhook when the email notification fails to deliver.

• Related passwords on processes and runs now include copy username and password actions, matching assets.

• Parent network IP utilization now includes assigned addresses from child networks.

• Fixed a bug where multiple asset date fields set to the same date did not create their own expirations.

• Reverted a recent permission change that limited company expiration and asset exports to admins and super admins. Editors can once again export company expirations and assets.

• Password notes no longer cut off text when they contain < characters that aren’t HTML tags.

• Asset table column visibility (including Last Card Sync) is now saved per asset layout instead of applying to all layouts.

• Integrations

  • Fixed NinjaOne custom device date fields displaying as raw timestamps instead of formatted dates.

  • Liongard Open Alerts on the stats widget now count only open alerts (new / reopened), matching Liongard’s total.

  • ConnectWise RMM now names synced assets from deviceName instead of friendlyName.

  • Google Workspace contacts with the same display name now sync as separate Hudu assets instead of stacking onto one.

  • Integrations now match synced cards to active assets instead of archived ones when names are identical.

  • SyncroMSP asset cards now show the correct device serial from RMM data instead of a stale or incorrect value.

• Discovery scans avoid sweeping entire adapter subnets unnecessarily.

• Network and device requests now time out instead of hanging scans indefinitely.

• More useful diagnostics for otherwise unexplained API request failures.

Fixes

• Failed service requests no longer create duplicate networks or devices, or incorrectly mark scans complete.

• Malformed or empty DNS-SD responses no longer cause the collector to hang.

• Automatic sign-in preferences now persist after signing out.

• Various bug fixes & minor improvements

Hudu v2.49 is live!

This release is about guiding and connecting the work, putting instructions right where technicians need them, plugging Hudu into more of the tools you already run, and giving admins finer control over what AI can do.

What’s new

Instruction blocks: guidance built into the asset form

Getting consistent documentation from every technician usually means a separate SOP nobody opens mid-task. Instruction blocks are a new asset layout field that displays rich-text guidance right inside the form while a technician creates or edits an asset. They’re read-only for technicians and stay out of asset views, tables, and PDF exports, so your records stay clean. Use them to spell out naming conventions, flag which fields are required for a client, or explain what “good” looks like for a firewall entry.

Change labels in bulk, everywhere

Relabeling records one at a time doesn’t scale when you’re cleaning up after a client onboarding or reorganizing how you tag your work. A new bulk action lets you change labels across all record types at once, so a cleanup that used to take an afternoon takes a few clicks.

Four new integrations

Hudu now connects with Pax8, Snipe-IT, Nerdio Manager, and ConnectWise RMM (Asio). Whether you’re managing licensing through Pax8, tracking hardware in Snipe-IT, running Azure Virtual Desktop with Nerdio, or monitoring endpoints in ConnectWise RMM, that data can now live alongside the rest of your documentation instead of in another tab.

More control and more actions for MCP

Admins can now turn MCP on or off per group from the group’s Access tab, so you decide which teams can work with Hudu through AI tools. MCP can also do more: create processes from templates, move assets between layouts, create and edit companies, archive and unarchive assets and companies, create and edit article folders, and set article expirations.

Note: Hudini requires MCP. Turning off MCP for a group also disables Hudini for that group.

Radar network maps that are easier to read

Company network maps now include Sync status and Device type filters, so you can zero in on exactly what you’re troubleshooting. Synced and unsynced devices and networks are also visually distinct at a glance, with different cursors, fades, pad colors, and clearer hover tips, so you can spot gaps in coverage without clicking into every node.

Improvements

• Duplicate asset fields in the Asset Layout Builder

• The left-hand navigation scroll position for companies and the global tab now persists through navigation and page reloads

• Improved UI for website monitoring and tracking controls

• Renamed the activity logs “sources” column back to “users” for clarity; it still displays automated sources

• Faster performance for the Assets PUT and POST API endpoints

• The user profile menu now includes a dedicated Hudu Community link and a clearer Hudu HQ billing portal section

• Bulk actions on the Admin → Lists table now appear in a floating toolbar

• Radar network maps have less empty scroll space at the edges and more responsive trackpad zoom

Bug fixes

• Removed the non-essential “Community” and “Learn Hudu” profile menu options for portal users

• Fixed List Select fields falling back to another list when the selected list was empty

• Fixed runs being archivable via the API

• Halo KB sync now respects Halo’s 6-level folder nesting limit and skips articles nested too deep, with a clear integration log message

• Fixed related password previews so the password and OTP are shown and copyable

• Unarchiving a company now restores only records archived with the company; items archived manually beforehand stay archived

• Creating a rack storage item through the API no longer returns a 500; invalid payloads now return a 422

• Fixed chip-style asset fields (such as tags) not appearing in version history

• Fixed an unnecessary scrollbar on the Documentation Quality dashboard widget at certain screen sizes

• Clarified that creating an IP address via the API requires network_id, with accurate errors when missing; company_id now defaults from the network

• Flag color options are now keyboard-navigable

• Fixed the archived icon on related assets in the sidebar not updating after archive or unarchive

• Fixed PUT/DELETE /api/v1/matchers/{id} returning a 500 instead of a 404 when the matcher doesn’t exist

• ConnectWise People sync now continues past contact-page 500 errors instead of stopping

• Fixed the “Change trigger” link in the workflow editor sidebar changing font size on window resize

• Fixed text inputs resizing larger than their container

• API docs for GET /api/v1/users/{id} now correctly show the response wrapped under a user key

• Long company related item names now truncate

• Archived racks no longer appear in the global table

• Downloaded photos now keep their original dimensions instead of defaulting to 1200px

• Fixed Auvik sync stacking a duplicate card when Auvik replaces a device ID; the existing card is now reused and updated

Action required for self-hosted

Self-hosted instances must be running Postgres 18+ with pgvector 0.8+ before updating to this version.

Minimum suggested versions:

• Postgres: 18.6 with pgvector 0.8+

• Redis: 7.2.4-alpine

• Nginx: 1.31.2
