Patch Report

 

 

The Patch report provides details about patches for devices with Patch Management enabled.

 

The report can be accessed and scheduled from the Services section of the Reports page.

Report Details

The report will provide the following details for all devices with Patch Management installed:

• Device alias/name (clicking an alias link will redirect you to the Patches tab of the device's Detail drawer)
• Patch name/bulletin ID (clicking an ID link will redirect you to the related information on the vendor's site)
• Severity
• Vendor
• Application
• Status
• Reason
• Date and time

The counter above the list will show the total number of patches and the number of installed patches, missing patches, failed patches, scheduled patches, and ignored patches.

By default, the report will display information for the last 30 days. You can adjust the time frame by clicking the start or the end date and then choosing different dates from the calendar, or by selecting one of the quick options on the left (Last week, Last month, Last three months).

To facilitate data lookup further, the Patch report can be customized by using the search field to search by device alias/name, patch name/bulletin ID, vendor, and application.

You can also filter the report by:

• Patch severity: None, Low, Moderate, Important, Critical
• Patch status: Missing, Scheduled, Failed, Installed, Installing, Ignored, Rolling back, Not approved
• Status reason: Installed manually, Excluded manually, Installed automatically, Excluded for settings, No filter hit, Rolled back

Multiple columns can be sorted to display the results in ascending or descending order.

Scheduling and Exporting

You can set up your reports to be automatically generated on a recurring basis, then emailed to specified users. You can also manually download them in PDF or CSV format.
