ADT Status page
The ADT Status page is a new page provided by ADT to serve as your central resource for staying informed about the availability and performance of ADT services. The page provides real-time updates on any service issues or scheduled maintenance activities. Access the page through https://status.adt.accelbyte.io. To learn more about this page, see Monitor statuses of ADT services.
Crash limit notifications
To keep you informed when you exceed your daily crashes limit, a banner will appear on your ADT Web dashboard in the Latest Crashes section and in the Crashes menu on the Issues page. Your admin will also receive an email notification when the number of crashes reaches the limit. This update ensures that you are promptly informed when you exceed your daily crash limit. To learn more, see Crash limit management article.
Automated local cache management for Smart Builds
Use the new Local Cache Management automation feature in ADT Hub to control the cache size of downloaded builds in your local machine, optimizing your system's storage usage and performance.
To enable this automation, you must configure your preferred limit for the cache size of your downloaded builds and set the schedule for when to run the automation. At the scheduled time, ADT Hub triggers the automation to perform the following actions:
- Cache size check: ADT Hub checks if your local cache size exceeds the specified limit.
- Cache purge: if the cache size exceeds the specified limit, ADT Hub will automatically delete the cache from the oldest downloaded builds. If, for example, you've set a cache limit of 20 GB and your current cache size is 35 GB, ADT Hub will delete the oldest cache from builds totaling 15 GB to bring the cache size down to the 20 GB limit.
To learn more about using this feature, see Manage local cache size of downloaded builds.
Removed Guest role
The Guest role has been removed to improve user access management in ADT. The Guest role offered limited functionalities that were already available with the User role. Existing users with the Guest role will be automatically upgraded to the User role. This change does not impact your daily operations and will help streamline user management.
