Reboot assets from the Assets view

You can reboot Windows, macOS, and Linux assets immediately or after a countdown. A default message appears for end users, which you can customize.

• For Windows and macOS, you can allow users to cancel or snooze the reboot.
• For Linux, cancel and snooze options aren't available.

If you don't have permission to reboot a device, the Reboot option is not available.

Reboot an asset

1. Go to Dashboards > Assets.
2. Select an asset, then choose Actions > Reboot to open the reboot settings.

   

3. Enter a value for the Reboot countdown timer. This sets how long the end user has to save their work before the system restarts.

   If you set the countdown to No timer (Reboot now), the system reboots immediately without showing a message to the user.

   

4. (Optional) Customize the Message text that appears in the end-user reboot dialog.
5. For Windows and macOS only:
   • (Optional) To allow the end user to cancel the reboot, turn on Add option to cancel reboot.
   • (Optional) To allow the end user to snooze the reboot:
     • Turn on Add option to snooze reboot.
     • Set the Snooze timer to define how long each snooze lasts.
     • Set the maximum number of Snooze counts to limit how many times a user can delay the reboot. After the snooze attempts are used, the reboot occurs when the countdown ends.
6. Review the content in the Reboot dialog preview, then select Reboot.
