We use the Patch Management reporting in Jamf Pro to keep track of versioning for a lot of applications that use auto updates. However, since we moved some of our devices to the Chrome Beta/Extended Update Channel, we noticed that those versions show up as "Unknown" in the Google Chrome Patch Report.
Does Jamf have a way to keep track of these versions in patch management? or would I need to put in a Feature Request for that?
We also deploy Chrome Extended (for what thats worth these days, updates far to often).
You need to use Tile Editor to create a new custom patch..

You will need to manually update this each time google provides an update, track this via this link, we use an RSS feed
Extended Stable Channel Update for Desktop
And you also need a config profile to set the version that you want to update to, along with other settings.

I was hoping Jamf had a way to automatically track these releases since we are trying to remove as much manual work as possible, so it doesn't make since to manually add the definitions for a automatic report. but thanks for the info.
Jamf only tracks the production lane version. When you are dealing with Canary, Beta, Dev, etc. Jamf does not keep track of those. Honestly, I am not sure how Jamf would keep track of the non-production versions without causing issues with the production version tracking as they all use the same or similar version numbers.
