Out of Date computer reports and alerts by sub-estate

Is there a way to run reports to detect Out of Date machines? The current reports seem to be based on Up to date machines, which I suppose might be a handy report to give to a supervisor, but for detecting problem areas we would like reports to show us areas needing improvement. Is there a way to automate much a report?

The report might be uneccessary if alert notifications operated differently. Unfortunatly alerts seem to give notifications for the enterprise, with no options for narrowing the scope to a defined subestate/role/group. I wish there was a way to define alerts so the alaarm scope was chosen first, and you would define a specific email address for that chosen scope. This way we could have multiple alarms for different group...a useful solution for a large enterprise. Are these ideas feature requests or is there a way to currently acheive this?

  • Hello LoXodonte,

    Out of Date machines

    are a little bit tricky if you think it over. The dashboard takes only connected machines into consideration (for obvious reasons) but the condition might be transient anyway. The endpoints view shows a Not since (or Unknown) but doesn't take the Last message time into account. All but one report (Updating hierarchy) are over a certain period and provide accumulated data and/or statistics. An out-of-date "snapshot" could be pretty meaningless and even more historical/statistical data. As you've said, reports are for supervisors :smileywink:

    a way to define alerts

    which alerts do you have in mind? The console alerts (Tools -> Configure Email Alerts ...) are sub-estate specific (as are the Reports and Dashboard configuration). Not that it does all one might want and setup and administration aren't really what I'd call convenient.
