TL;DR

  • IPAM and Rack Management features provide validated infrastructure documentation with automatic relationship mapping to existing assets and visual utilization tracking
  • Hudu Assist browser extension surfaces documentation, passwords, and related items directly within Halo, Syncro, Ninja, and Autotask platforms without context switching
  • ConnectWise integration expansion includes auto-archiving and auto-renaming, with these capabilities rolling out to Ninja, Avik, and other integrations in coming releases
  • Upcoming features include permission overhaul with multi-group support, Unifi integration built via community feedback, and mobile app expansion with photo management and asset support
  • Data table enhancements arriving in April will add column sorting and sticky default items-per-page settings across all tables in Hudu

Q1 2024 Feature Releases

Hudu's first quarter 2024 releases focused on infrastructure documentation capabilities with two major features: IP Address Management (IPAM) and Rack Management. IPAM provides centralized tracking of IP address utilization with automatic validation of network ranges and netmasks, ensuring documentation accuracy while maintaining relationships with existing assets like desktops and configurations. Rack Management delivers visual server rack mapping with power draw calculations, utilization tracking, and direct integration with existing device documentation. Both features reinforce Hudu's approach of validating data entry and maintaining contextual relationships across the documentation platform.

Hudu Assist Browser Extension

The newly released Hudu Assist extends the browser extension to surface documentation directly within PSA and RMM platforms. Currently compatible with Halo, Syncro, Ninja, and Autotask, the feature displays related assets, passwords, knowledge base articles, processes, and files when viewing contacts or companies in these systems. Users can access credentials with one-time password generation, view articles without leaving their workflow, or open full documentation in new tabs. This integration maintains Hudu as a single source of truth while eliminating context switching between platforms during support workflows.

Integration and Mobile Enhancements

ConnectWise integration received significant expansion with new client site imports, additional filtering options, auto-archiving, and auto-renaming capabilities — features that will roll out to other PSA and RMM integrations in subsequent releases. The mobile app added new process support, quick sections, and UI improvements, continuing Hudu's pattern of bringing instance features to mobile for on-site technicians. Additional Q1 updates included list fields replacing dropdowns for standardized data entry, knowledge base history comparison with source code highlighting, and ongoing data table enhancements scheduled for early April release.

Key Quotes

4:35 "Hudu takes the extra step of also authenticating based on the range that you have set up. So as we're configuring these items, we're determining our netmask and all of the things that we need around managing this network, we can make sure it's consistently validating each of those steps."
10:05 "Hudu Assist is a extension to the browser extension, and what that will do is bring that documentation from your Hudu platform into other systems."
12:03 "We're trying to maintain that the information that you've already recorded within Hudu can still maintain that single source of truth and benefiting within other platforms."
19:10 "Our goal with this is to provide finer control over your team's access and it's going to include things like the ability to add users to multiple groups, a highly requested feature, the ability to set inheritance for child items, being able to lock permissions."
20:17 "We are expanding on our community Reddit, our subreddit, our Hudu, and trying to bring some build a features into the Reddit so that we can get additional feedback in real time with our customers on what they'd like to see with what we're building."
