N-able integration
Boost N-able with Lavawall
Lavawall® deploys through N-able N-sight as an uploaded script and runs as an on-demand task. Keep N-able for remote management, and let Lavawall® add cross-platform patching, 15+ GRC frameworks, and Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace breach detection from one multi-tenant console.

How the N-able integration works
N-able is good at remote management, scripting, and basic patching. It does not give you compliance evidence for CMMC 2.0 or NIST CSF, it does not detect Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace breaches, and it does not run an indicator-of-compromise hunt for ransomware staging tools. Lavawall® fills those gaps and deploys through N-able N-sight the same way you deploy any other script.
In the Lavawall® console you download the install scripts you need (Windows .ps1, macOS .sh, Linux .sh), then upload each one into N-sight Script Manager. From All Devices view you add a task that runs the script on demand. The script installs the Lavawall® agent, which runs alongside your N-able agent and does not interfere with it.
What data flows
Once the agent is installed through N-sight, Lavawall® collects and correlates:
- Endpoint state across Windows, macOS, and Linux: patch status, configuration posture, application inventory, and hardware health.
- Cloud signals from Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Azure, and Google Workspace, pulled directly from those tenants.
- Compliance evidence mapped to 15+ frameworks, updated in real time as the fleet changes.
- Security findings from configuration assessment, ransomware indicator hunting, and AV or EDR correlation.
Lavawall® reads directly from the endpoint and the cloud tenants, so your coverage is not limited to what N-able happens to inventory.
Setup steps
- In the Lavawall® console, click Computers, then Download/Add.
- Select the target company from the drop-down.
- Download the scripts you need: Windows (.ps1), macOS (.sh), Linux (.sh).
- Log into N-sight RMM and go to Automation > Script Manager.
- Click Upload Script and set the name, operating system, and optional category and description, then save.
- Repeat the upload for each operating system you need.
- In All Devices view, right-click a device, then Task > Add.
- Select the Lavawall® script, name the task, and enter any parameters.
- Set frequency to Manual (on-demand) and set the schedule and execution time limit (typically under five minutes).
- Click Finish.
Thinking about switching?
You do not have to choose. Most MSPs run N-able and Lavawall® together, with N-able handling remote management and Lavawall® handling security, GRC, breach detection, and analytics. If you are weighing a full move, the Lavawall® alternative to N-able page lays out where each tool fits and what consolidating looks like.
Frequently asked
- Which N-able product does Lavawall® deploy through?
- Lavawall® deploys through N-able N-sight RMM using uploaded scripts. You add the Windows PowerShell script and the macOS and Linux bash scripts to N-sight Script Manager, then run them against devices as an on-demand task.
- Do I upload a separate script for each operating system?
- Yes. Download the Windows (.ps1), macOS (.sh), and Linux (.sh) scripts you need from the Lavawall® console, then upload each one into N-sight Script Manager with its own name and operating system. You only upload the ones you actually use.
- How do I run the Lavawall® install in N-sight?
- In All Devices view, right-click a device, choose Task then Add, and select the Lavawall® script. Name the task, set the frequency to Manual (on-demand), configure the schedule and execution time limit (typically under five minutes), and click Finish.
- Does Lavawall® replace N-able?
- It does not have to. Many MSPs keep N-able for remote management and let Lavawall® add security, GRC, breach detection, and analytics. If you are weighing a full switch, the N-able comparison page walks through where each tool fits.
