Policy Manager: Software Updater Reports

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi, Everyone!

I'm having problems getting the kind of reports I expect out of the software updater. Things such as; can I easily report "by host" rather than "by update"..

I have searched through the support site. Looks like not much attention is going on with this. Notification emails; I'm seeing an API may be available, SQL syntax --

So here's my question to the community; in light of underwhelming reporting -- what are you folks doing for software updater reports? Praying that the tool is working as advertised and ignoring reporting? Writing your own reports somehow? Waiting for a future release?

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply!

Hi, SDavis,

It fully depends on your needs. Web reporting has 4 default reports:

Newly discovered software updates
Top missing security updates
All missing updates
Installed software updates

In addition to that using the Policy Manager Console you can create Data Mining queries and publish them as custom reports for the Web reporting.

Regards,

Alex
